...and another reference to Sarah Jane Waring:

It is a report of the court case relating to the Marriage Settlement between SJW and William Burton Newenham.

Thanks Spidermonkey,

Yes, I'd seen his marriage to Sarah Jane Waring, but hadn't taken in his birth date on the Criminal record.  William and Sarah were living at no 16 and 10 Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin when they married - so, not quite 'the girl next door'!  It appears that Sarah Jane died 'on or about 4th May 1831'.  (See - http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/19211/pages/2063/page.pdf)

1810 certainly falls into the 'period' of my Newenhams.  They seem to have been a very fecund family having anything up to 16 children!  So, one more would hardly be surprising...

I gather that the 'original' Charles Burton Newenham was a naval officer who was killed and became a afmily 'hero' after whom several later children were named.  It's the 'Burton' and 'Newenham' names of the naughty William that makes me think he is related.  (The name Burton comes from the maiden name of Sir Edward Newenham's (1734-1814) wife Grace Anna.)

The transcript of William Burton Newenham's trial is at http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/browse.jsp?id=t18440610-1582&div=t18440610-1582.

I've actually sorted my problem with the various Charles Burton Newenhams that was vexing me yesterday - but it would stil be good to sort out how William is related (as I'm sure he must be).

I've just come across this thread and so joined Rootschat in the hope that someone can help me...

Back on page 8 of this thread is the statement:
"WILLIAM BURTON NEWENHAM was indicted for unlawfully taking  Frances Louisa Wortham, a girl under 16 years of age, out of the possession, and against the will of Jane Wortham, her mother."

Does anyone know who William Burton Newenham was??

I believe he may have been a son of Robert O'Callaghan Newenham and grandson of Sir Edward Newenham (1732-1814) and his wife Grace Anna Burton.  Certainly, R O'C Newenham had a son Charles Burton Newenham (1794-1887) who married Mary Louisa Darley in 1815; he was Sheriff of the Supreme Court of South Australia.  He and Mary returned to England and are shown in the 1871 Census, living in Cheltenham.

There was another Charles Burton Newenham who married my relation Elizabeth Stuart in 1825:

"Charles Burton Newenham, Attorney-at- Law. Married Elizabeth Stewart (sic), daughter of Thomas Stewart, Esq., of Limerick in August 1825. She died at Mallow, county Cork, without issue, 9th January was buried at 1830 ; he died in 1859 at Blackrock; and both were buried at Brinny Church, Dublin, churchyard, near Bandon, county of Cork."

In truth, I'm trying to sort out these two Charles Burton Newenhams - but William B N seems to have possibly been a black sheep of this Anglo-Irish family...

Any ideas?

Simon
