During the Occupation of Jersey, the German authorities issued ID cards for all Jersey residents.  These records are now held and indexed at the Jersey Archive.  However, they have no record of Edwin or Eddy Newman. 

I don't know what happened to him - but I think there would be evidence if he was a deportee.

I hope this helps.

I think the Germans required all the Islanders to have ID cards - but of course only the Jersey ones are saved in the Jersey Archives. 

You would have to ask in Guernsey about that Bailiwick - possibly, but not necessarily, including Sark.  There were hardly any Islanders who remained (voluntarily or otherwise) in Alderney during the Occupation.
