Charles Newman was my Gggf. He was the second son of John Newman and Emily Ginbey. He married Isabella Manuel. He was a bank manager and unfortunately an alcoholic. His wife and children ended up in Victoria Australia. My gf was Arthur Garibaldi Newman. He married Ellen Anna Wright. He was a sawmiller and Timber merchant throughout Victoria and Tasmania. They had 5 children, Arthur John (Bill); Helen Winifred, Nancy Adele, Charles Albert (Peter) who died on HMAS Sydney WWII, and George William. Helen was my mother. I am interested in any information on John Newmans life in England prior to immigrating to Australia.
