I am looking for any information on Streeter Morris Newman, abt 1843. in a place called Hooe? I do not have a birth/baptism date for him or a death date. He also had a son by the same name. He married Amelia Pearson in 1865 in West Hartlepool.
Thanks,
Kathy

Thanks for the information from both of you. I will look up the census record.
When I looked up the index for Streeter, it only gave his son's birth date, not the fathers.

Streeter is Harriet's father not John's I would think.
Frances Charity Newman RIGGLESFORD married James SELLENS, Dec qtr 1859, Battle, 2b 93
Looks like somewhere along the line some of the family have dropped the RIGGLESFORD name off the end and used NEWMAN as the surname.

Frances RIGGLESFORD

Might be the Frances NEWMAN with Streeter MORRIS in 1841.
No connection. Frances and Elias are in Hellingly in 1841, 1851 and 1861.

Thanks Ian,
so how did you figure out that their last name was once Ricklesford/Rigglesford? Is this Sussex index available to everyone?this is great information. Thanks.
Kathy

Streeter born 1869 was with his uncle Thomas in 1881, who was Thomas NEWMAN/Thomas Newman RICKLESFORD, who married using the full name. John and Harriet's daughter Frances also married using the RIGGLESFORD name.
I thought Harriet's maiden name might have been MORRIS. Could not find a John NEWMAN marriage on the SMI but did find a Harriet MORRIS.
I am picking that John may have been born out of wedlock, and that his mother was a RIGGLESFORD. Quite often in those cases the fathers surname is given as a second name, in this case NEWMAN, hence John Newman Rigglesford. It became recognised that his fathers name was NEWMAN, and so the RIGGLESFORD was dropped.
The SMI can be purchased from the SFHG, link in the Sussex Resources page.
If you can get access to the Brightling PRs you might find his baptism to confirm this one way or the other.
See that Harriet's death was registered Jun qtr 1875 as Harriet Newman RIGGLESFORD aged 61, and John's Dec qtr 1877 as John Newman RIGGLESFORD aged 64.

I am in awe.. thanks..

Looks like John might have married again in 1876 after Harriet died as well.

where did you find this information? I am in contact with John's direct relation and I wonder if she knows this..
thanks.

On FreeBMD there is a John Newman RIGELSFORD marriage in 1876.

Thanks for all of the info on Streeter. Interesting family, to be sure... At least with somewhat unusual names it is easier to find any information if it's out there. Marine deaths... does that mean that he died while on board or just died and was still a mariner or whatever his occupation was?
Thanks.

Kathy, sorry, not sure as to the meaning of Marine Deaths,
as you will see from my reply to 'stovepipe' below.
Apologies if I have Hijacked your thread

I know that your next question will be 'how do I get the certificates'.
I'm sorry but I don't know - I just have these basic facts,
( sounds like that old B/W police show Dragnet (?) "just the facts maam ..." ).
This will need another query to the RootsChat members for this info.
I shall be looking at the answers myself as I have a Newman 'rellie'
that is in the indexes for 1914 when H.M.S. Pathfinder was lost in WW1.
With regards to the Marriage mentioned ie 1895 Q3 East Preston SSX,
do you have the certificate ?, what is the name / occupation of Charles father ?
I only ask due to the difference in the age of Charles at death,( 33 cby 1866 ? )
assuming that the Charles death in Nasirabad is your Charles ?.
The Charles Henry b 1871-Q4 (Petworth RD) is in the 1881 Census (Petworth RD)
with his parents Charles and Rachel Newman ( nee HEDGER ? ) - Charles a carpenter.
Hope the above will be of some help ? Mick
-
Many thanks, Mick - that's great information.
Sorry I can't help with certificates - the Newman connection is a fairly remote twig on my tree and my budget doesn't run that far. All my information comes from the FreeBMD indices and the 1901 census page where Elizabeth Newman is a widow with two children born in India. I merely guessed the birth registered in Petworth was that of her husband because the age was about the same as Elizabeth's and the middle name Henry matched that of the Charles Newman on her page of the marriage register. But Charles' age at death does throw some doubt on that. Can the Petworth born Charles Henry Newman be positively identified alive anywhere in the 1901 census? There's a 33-year-old with no middle name born Kirdford - the other side of Petworth from Duncton, so not a good match with the 1881 census.
Good luck with your N.N.S.!
Regards,
Stovepipe

Hi stovepipe,
The lady who supplied the previous information has sent
another letter to me with the following extra information.
( she is not on the Internet )
Bombay baptisms :
1898 June 21st ( bn 1898 June 8th ) St Pauls - Nasirabad
Charles Frederick NEWMAN
son of Charles Henry and Elizabeth of Nasirabad
Sergt 1st Royal Fusiliers - N/3/79/228
1899 December 23rd ( bn 1899 November 30th ) St Pauls - Nasirabad
Thomas Henry NEWMAN
son of Charles and Elizabeth of Nasirabad
Sergt 1st Royal Fusiliers - N/3/82/307
Bombay burial :
1899 December 5th ( d December 4th )
Charles NEWMAN age 32
Sergt 1st Royal Fusiliers
Valvular disease of the heart
Nasirabad - N/3/82/411
( So he never got the chance to see his second son ! - sad )
Hope the information is new and of use to you ?
I know you have 'put off' obtaining that wedding certificate,
but have you thought about the Attestation papers for when he
joined the Army ? - just a thought for the future !!
Cheers Mick Newman
-
Many thanks, Mick - that's great information. Please convey my gratitude to your correspondent, too.
Hadn't thought about the attestation papers - that should resolve the issue of Charles Henry's identity, but my money's on him being the chap born in Duncton. I'll let you know if I ever find out for sure.
I understand Nasirabad is quite some distance from Bombay - is that why Charles never saw his son? I.e. son born in Nasirabad while father had just a few days to live in Bombay.
Thanks again,
Stovepipe

Probably means the marriage I crossed out earlier between Frances and Elias can be uncrossed as being John's parents.

Hi there,
My mother's maiden name was Newman and have traced back to Elias Newman who married Frances Rigglesford. Would be interested if you have got back any further as have come to a dead halt.

All my research on John Newman Rigglesford is identical to that listed by Bogroll
exept John remarried 1876 to Eliza Staples
The 1898 Hampstead married of Streeter Newman could be father on son
have never checked on this.
The Joseph Rigglesford born 1735 was brother to my ancestor William born 1740

Hi, Im a decendant of Margaret Rigglesford daughter of Robert, son of James, son of John, son of Joseph, John and finally Thomas 1659. Would love more info on the family bobrob took most of this info from your post -
-
Hi, new at this already sent a post but sending another one anyway. I am a decendant of the Rigglesford family my Great, Great grandmother being Margaret Rigglesford her father robert son of James, John etc. would love any other info you have.
-
From Margarets family came the start of the Riggulsford spelling,
The origin of our name started in Yorkshire
Early Yorkshire records state that the village of Wridlesford, now called Woodlesford. gave its name to a family of distinction in the 12 century.
we know that Samson de Wridlesford 1150 - 1210 appears as Steward of Robert de Lacy, the Wridlesford family at the time were closely connected with de Lacy and de Warenne families both of Norman descent,
a Walter de Ridelisford suggested by historians to be the younger brother of Samson, is recorded in Irish history after the Anglo/Norman invasion of 1171
Walter and son Walter are of frequent occurrence in the Calendar of Documents, Ireland 1171-1251
It was in 1251 when a Walter de Wridlesford sold all his land to Edmund de Lacy and migrated to Sussex, where they are recorded in the Cuckfield and Bolney area Walters heir is recorded as Ralph de Writlesford
the earliest use of the ( g ) in surname occurs in 1308/9
now we have six different surname spellings originating from Sussex
There is so much more that could be added to this, hope this helps a bit

wow thank you so much for your reply - we are obviously related would love to see and hear more about the family.

Does anyone have the death date for Streeter Morris Newman, born 22 Nov 1868? I know he was alive until 1904 because he is listed in the Electoral Registers. I have nothing after that date.

The electoral registers take time to be compiled and printed, so people can easily be in them after they have died.

Thank you. I used to have the newspaper article for his father, also named Streeter Morris Newman, when he also died in a marine death. He died Dec 1873. It stated something about the shipwreck and some survived. I can no longer find the article. Can anyone tell me where to find it?
Thank you,
