James and Sarah Newlands do not appear to have any children.
Bridget has died between 1920 - 1930
There are no Pennsylvania death records available online for the time frame you need.

Would have to look further to see if we can trace the children of Frank/Francis any further up the line.

Hello Ree.

Tall order really. Many John Raffety in New Jersey according to death records 1960 +
Would need more information, date of birth, place of birth, parents, wife etc., 
Really needs to be posted as a separate enquiry.
The Census records in the USA mainly go to 1930, some states may vary slightly and someone could pick some information up for you depending what information you can give. 

Sorry  ???

As to the number of children of Francis and Bridgette, there were 9. Maria Smith (Milford PA), Elizabeth McKay (Elizabeth NJ), Kathleen Bird, Edward, William, Francis, Mathew, Hugh (died young) and James (my father). Any cousins living in the Orlando, FL area?

Making my second post so I can email chat. Sandra: Yes the James Newlands buried in Nahant was my father. The 's' was added by the military when he was drafted before WWII. A lot of the PA relatives would come visit in the summer as we lived on the Ocean. We would also make the trip to Milford and Scranton once a year with a stop in Connecticut to visit relatives there.

That makes you my 2nd cousin twice removed I think.  I knew my grandfather had brothers, but not how many.

I've also come across our name in S Africa and Australia. I wonder if any of them are related.

Also there are Newlands on Linked-In that I've connected to.

There was also a pirate.  And a sugar plantation owner on Jamaica, John Newland,  who made a pile of money and built an Academy School in Scotland.  The school still stands.  I found a little book published in 1912 about him.  I am not a serious researcher like some who need birth certificates and such.  It's just fun.

Quite often, Newland without the 's' may be from England.  The Newlands with an 's' is Scottish, but so many have dropped the 's' that it's difficult to distinguish the two groups.

We have a clan chiefton, Mr William Newlands of Lauriston Castle.  You can Google that.  I wrote him a letter and he sent me a gift.  Next time they schedule a clan reuniion, we should all go!

Tell me who who found in Africa.

I found another James Newland in S. Africa. There is also a Newland brewery outside of Cape Town and a town called Newlands with another brewery.

I guess we like our beers/ales.

I knew we had a clan chief and a tartan. We try to attend any Highland Games near us. When we lived in Texas there was one every June in Arlington (between Dallas and Fort Worth). It would draw over a 100,000 people over the weekend.

I like to fiand out more about where we came from. One of my cousins traced the maternal side (Boyer) back to the late 1500s in England and 1600s in Scotland.

My husbands mother was a Newlands.  She was a descendant of a George Waddell Newlands d. 1890 a son of David Newlands and Margaret Lang.  They were from the Bathgate area too. Any others with Newlands from this area in West Lothian? I've set up a facebook group for Newlands descendants.  If you are interested them please PM me. 

Happy new year to all the Newlands out there!
