Newhams of Camberwell/Southwark, London, UK, 1800s
I have been trying to trace my father's family tree.
I have got back as far as my ggg Grandfather Francis Newham, a cork cutter, of the Camberwell/Southwark area of Surrey, England (Now part of South London).He was born around 1829-32 and married Emma Mary Temlett in 1849.As far as I know, so far, they had two children:
- Francis Thomas Newham, born c: 1850 (shown on the 1851 census as a small baby)
- Frederick William Newham (my gg Grandfather) born in 1864.
Francis lived in Union Street, Southwark, at the time of his marriage, his occupation was given as Merchants Clerk. When Francis Thomas was born the family were living at 'Bath Buildings' also in the Southwark area.
However I have only found Francis and Emma (with Francis Thomas) on the 1851 census (at Bath Buildings) and not on any other censuses.
Francis senior died, aged 54, in 1883.I don't know what happened to his wife, Emma.
(Incidently Frederick William also died quite young,aged only 51 in 1916).
Frederick William married Louisa Maria Farmer and they had a huge family.
My g grandfather Sidney Charles Leonard Newham was born in 1895.The family remained in South London moving around the Peckham, Southwark, Camberwell area, until Sidney and his wife moved to East London.The family seemed to lose touch then.
Does anybody have any information on this Francis Newham?According to the 1851 census, Francis Newham was born in Bethnal Green, Middlesex. According to his marriage certificate his father was also called Francis Newham, a warehouseman. But I Have been unable to trace the family any further.
I have been in touch with other history groups such as the Surrey family History Society and no body it seems, is tracing the same family.
Can anybody help?Does anyone have these people in their family tree?
