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
