Hello all, can someone trace Newman

[boocey]

I was wondering if any one can help Im trying to trace a Horace William Newman born roughly 1901, I think in banbury/oxfordshire. His father was called Samuel Newman. Horace married Rose Matilda Adkins in 1924 in Bourton, had two children Margaret and Rymond. Thats about all the info I have, it's almost like he disapeared into thin air, Im looking for his death certificate and any other info I can get about him ...thanks in advance, hope someone can help

Hello boocey

I see that he was Horace W. NEWMAN at marriage, but he seems likely to have been William Horace at birth (Birth reg Dec qtr 1900: William Horace NEWMAN, Woodstock 3a 878).

In the 1901 census he appears (if I have the right chap) as William H Newman, 4 month old son of Samuel (46, ag lab b Middle Barton) and Annie (28 b Edinburgh), of Middle Barton, Oxfordshire: RG13/1390/33/6.

Thank you very much, that makes alot more sense as to why I couldnt find him, do you know if I can find when he died. There is a lovely lady in burton who helping me with the adkins side of the family but little is known about William(Horace). Thanks

I couldn't see an obvious death for him in England & Wales.  Do you know any more - did his children know him whilst they were growing up?  Might he have emigrated? (Or even just gone to Scotland, where he may have had links through his mother's family?)

NB In accordance with Rootschat rules, be careful not to post any identifying information about living people.

Sorry about that I know better for next time, thats really all the information Ive got if I find out any more i'll post it on here, his wife died quite young so maybe he did move to Scotland or abroad, I think it's going to remain a mystery, thanks

[boocey]

was the changing of names around common back then, on his marriage and daughter's birth certificate he is down as Horace, would that be legal, or is it that I may have the wrong Mr Newman, thanks

Whilst I admit I don't know Oxfordshire very well,there is a death recorded in the Banbury District of Oxfordshire in 1957 of a Horace W Newman,his age is estimated to be 56.The GRO reference is Volume 6b,page 839.

Cheers      Mick - a small cog in the Newman Name Society  (  oops - another plug !!! )

PS From the Deaths up to 1945 William H has some entries for CBY of around 1900 ( Computed Birth Year )
-  but he probably survived after 1945 ?  I show these for interest - I have no further details

William H entries ( just the inital H ) start around 1910.

1928-Q1 Kensington RD       William H  age 30 CBY 1898
1932-Q1 Gateshead RD        William H  age 37 CBY 1895
1933-Q1 Holborn RD          William H  age 30 CBY 1903
1941-Q2 Chesterfield RD     William H  age 40 CBY 1901
1941-Q3 Bromsgrove RD       William H  age 42 CBY 1899
1941-Q4 Northumberland C RD William H  age 52 CBY 1899
1943-Q4 Brighton RD         William H  age 43 CBY 1900

No Horace W Deaths found from 1920 up to 1945 Deaths that match near his CBY

Please note I won't be charging the Newman Name Society for finding the death of Horace W Newman in 1957.lol
