Hi.  I am a Newsome too, but very new to all this and this forum.  The basic family tree research I've done so far  has been really interested and showed my GGGGrandfather was Timothy Newsome the lion-tamer.  My GGrandfather was Arthur Newsome and I believe he owned the Rover steam engine.

I'd be really interested to hear more about the Newsome family if anyone has any information they are happy to share.

Many thanks.

The Newsomes had a funfair in Benllech Bay Anglesey in the 1950's and 1960's.
