I started researching my family tree about two years ago and have concentrated  on Newman, Crooks and Wensley. The Jones has been to difficult to identify, so  I have left them for the time being. The furthest that I have gone is Joseph  Newman, born in 1737 and the last person to die was Walter Newman, my Dad, in  2007. I am still in the process of transferring the basic data onto the site.  I will then add documents and other information about some of the individuals.

I come from a long line of Newmans from the East End of London. My  grandfather, Joseph Newman, was a Freeman of the City of London, as was his  father, Samuel, his grandfather, another Samuel and great grandfather Joseph.  My great, great, great, great Grandfather, another Joseph Newman was a lawyer  in Mile End.
