It's a lovely photograph, but different Newings. 

Edith returned to UK during WW1.  I forget when Alfred was demobbed but he went to England to join her - she did not return to Canada.

Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: twemlows

In an indenture (privately owned) dealing with land in Congleton, Cheshire, dated 1783, is a reference to a Twemlow:

"And also all those two Closes or pieces of Land called Pit Field adjoining together and lying behind or on the West side of Lands late of William Bayley alderman deceased and now of John Bayley his Son and on the West side of the said Lane called Dog Lane in Congleton aforesaid in the holding or occupation of James Twemlow Cooper as Tenant to the same John Vardon containing by Estimation Five days work of Land be the same more or less"

WB Stephens (Ed.), History of Congleton, Manchester University Press, 1970, lists James Twemlow as Mayor 1800-1 and 1810-1 (Yates's History of Congleton, pub. 1821, gives James Twemlow as an Alderman), and mentions that John Twemlow, a cabinet maker, left £800 in 1830 (see Chester Record Office, Wills).
