The following list of Newburians appears in the Newbury Weekly News of 8 Jan 1868. I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone could guess what they had in common. If any descendants want a copy of the article make yourselves known. I'm particularly interested in anyone who has researched the brewers (in bold).
