Bedfordshire / Re: The Mysterious James NEWBERRY

Hello Sue
Sorry, no knowledge of emigrants to America from the Bedfordshire/ Hertfordshire Newberrys, although there are descendants in Australia and South Africa. A couple of years ago when I started researching my family history, a man on GenesReunited said I should investigate a village called Preston Capes, so I googled it. The spelling there was Newbery, and I could find no connection with my family there, but maybe you could.

Good luck!
Anne C.

Hi Laurina
What a fast reply. Yes I have the line back to Joseph Newberry and Arabella Ansel. You don't have Margaret Newber(r)y, because she died in Southampton aged 10. I looked for her marriage for a long time before I discovered this on Ancestry some time ago. Grace Newbery was my great grandmother - my mother remembers her well, and she has dimmer memories of Will Monnery (William George), who was her grandfather, as he died when she was quite a young child. All Monnerys in South Africa (and there are quite a lot of them) are descended from Grace Newbery. A person contacted me from Australia last week with the news that a certain Daniel Newberrry (born in 1815, son of Richard Newberry, b 1772) was transported to Australia for stealing iron. He had a daughter there (also Margaret), but there are no descendants with the name Newberry. However, there seems to be quite a big family there, as Daniel's cousin Thomas Omant, son of a Newberry mother, was also transported with him.  Regards, Anne.

 :) Have you found out any more about James Newberry? I am a descendant of Thomas Newberry and Mary Oakley. My family tree goes as follows: Thomas Newberry was married 1st to Frances Hull, with whom he had William (b.1810) and Mary (b.1812). Mary Oakley was his 2nd wife, with whom he had Sarah (b.1816), Daniel (b.1817), John (b.1819) - my ancestor, Francis (b.1821), George (b.1824), Mary (b.1826), Thomas (b.1828) and James (b.1831 at Holwell). Ickleford is apparently now part of Hitchin, and Holwell is very close by. In some censuses they appeared not to distinguish between them, as John Newberry's son George (my g.g.g.father) is shown variously as having been born in both of them! Hope I have been of some help.
