Ahhh that's where the maid story comes in.

The Ginbey reference was dropped soon after that.

Yep George Ginbey Newman was my GGGF he and Eliza bought up my Mother as her parents couldn't afford to raise both due to the economic times of the 20's.

Her father was George Clifton Newman  B 08 Apr 1891 D 30 Mar 1965.

I'm making progress with John Newman
There where 2 banks  Manning, Newman, Ward & Ramsbottom, Newman and Co which along with a brewery collapsed due to the economy at the time.

He had six children 3 girls and 3 boys John Henry, Francis William and unknown

If John N was not the unknown son of John Newman then he must have been a nephew I think.

I haven't got that far yet.

So he never married Emily Jane Ginbey ?

I was told that Josephine couldn't stand the heat and went back to England.

I'm descended from George and I'm looking for links back to the Newman Bank which I believe was a John Newman who was the father of Cardinal John Henry Newman.

From there I hope to trace it back to the Plantagenet's

Are you still looking for information on John Newman and Josephine Dewdney ?

He is my 2nd G. grandfather but I'm not related to Josephine  :o
