Thanks Graham - I'll check that out.
Yesterday I found another reference to him in a copy of Jackson's Oxford Journal dated May 20,1820 - his death notice
"On 12th inst. died at Clapham,John Newman Esq., of Finmere House,in this county, and upwards of twenty years an active Magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant for Buckinghamshire."
I'm interested to know if these pursuits were a full or part time
occupation.
Coincidently his son John b1810,my GGGG Father was also a Magistrate at Port Adelaide in South Australia,where he was a successful Customs & Shipping Agent.
Thanks again
Denis
