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.

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.

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.

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