First, you want to contact the Philadelphia City
Archives for a death record.
Then, look at the US Federal Census for 1900 for the
family.
I would bet that they lived in the neighborhood of
Kensington. There were many English people there
around the turn of the 20th Century and there were
lace mills there.

Hello everyone,
This is my first contact with a site outside UK so
please bear with me or tell me if I am asking for
something I can't have, please!
I am trying to trace some members of my NEWTON
family from Nottingham, England. as follows:
John NEWTON born c 1835 Sneinton, Nottingham came to
Philadelphia around 1891 and, I think, died there in
1893. He is said to have brought 4 or possibly five
of his young children with him - Annie,
William,Horace Albert aka Bertie and Florence plus
his step-dau Jane Adelaide BUST.
Frederick Handel NEWTON(John's eldest son) born 1857
in Sneinton, Nottingham. He may have emigrated to
Philadelphia between 1879 and 1890.
They were both Lace Trade workers, John was a
previous Lace Factory Manager.
I would be so grateful for any help, either from
others researching the names or help on where I
could look to find some answers. I am willing to try
for look ups in the Nottingham area for anyone
researching here.
Thank you
Nina Terry
