Newson/Lewis AGAIN ! *completed*

[Langdon-Northamp]

I find this all rather extraordinary but in the least not at all surprised!
Smith again!  Charles Frederick's father was George Langdon and married Elizabeth SMITH.
That family's details are very vague also, as in changing names to suit their lifestyle.
The poat thickens but the searching does not stop at that!...........
I almost think that these peope.....Langdon and Newson knew each other in London.
Charles Frederick was a baker in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire.NEWSON

Charles set up as a baker, operating a business at Tory Street, Wellingtont in 1890  It is not clear whether he actually owned the business or whether he worked for someone else, at the time.
There seems to be a bit of a mystery.  Later on in years, there was a baker operating in Wellington by the name of Hart Langdon. I think There were Hart family/neighbour connections in England and I still believe that
this gentleman was related or even in fact was Charles Frederick.

I may think that I am going off track here a bit, but the langdon family and the Newson family have so much in common....... and running away from something!

Thanks for the information..
I will stay in touch.

Hi, saw the Newson/Lewis name and believe it to be the name of my great great grandfather.  The young Alfred (Tom) on the La Hogue is my great grandfather. From what my dad said Alfred Newson left the family after Sarah, his wife, died. Not entirely sure about the children, Richard, Susannah, Robert, as Tom was a baby when all this happened but he was taken in, not legally adopted, as a Blinkhorne. Known as Thomas Blinkhorne, born i believe late 1873, he married Nellie Gray 1900. They then had my grandfather Archie Thomas (Bay), prior to his birth were Elsie, Evelyn, Len, Ivy, Lorna and the youngest being doris. My Dad, quite a few years ago, made efforts to establish that his grandfather (Tom) was born in England. The rational at the time was patrial rights. Any info on the Newson family before leaving Engand and where they were dispersed upon arrival in New Zealand would be greatly appreciated.

Hi...........I am well aware of a lot of information to do with Thomas Alfred Blinkhorne. 
I am a Gt Grand-daughter of Sarah Newson who was meant to be Alfred Newson's daughter.
28 Jan 1877 Church of St Matthews, Masterton.  Yes I knew who fosteed him and he used to drive the Cobb and Co Coach, once for the Right hon. Richard Seddon.  He lived in Wanganui and I believe he may be buried at Aramoho Cemetery.  He had a brother by the name of Robert Newson who was a rabbit hunter in lived in Taihape.  Sarah, their sister lived in Bulls, and Foxton.  She had two spouses, 1. Charles Frederick Langdon and the other Charles Dawson. Years ago, I met up with a lady in Te Awamutu (wear I live) by the name of Mrs Wright, who was a daughter Thomas Blinkhorne  She told me a lot of stories about him. Robert is buried in Kelvin Grove, Palmerston North, so is Sarah Dawson.  There was a sister Susannah, but I have never been able to trace her.
I know the kites were involved somewhere along the line and I have noticed that wthere are Blinkhornse buried in NZ with the Kite name as a second christian name.
I was searching on the net yesterday and it so happens that my Charles Frederick Langdon was AKA WEBB........I will have to find that article again.....the plot thickens!  If anyone knows anything about the WEBB family or what happened to Susannah, wouldn't we be ever so lucky to hear from them.  Samblink - keep in touch!
