Florence Newey (1872-1948. Born in Rotherhithe, London and died in Haywards Heath, Sussex.
Edwin Newey (1841-1924). Born in Deptford, Kent. Died in Cuckfield, Sussex. According to Census information he was a tortoise shell box maker for most, if not all, his working life.
Philip Newey (1804-1859). Born in Warwickshire, died in London.
Richard Newey (? - ?)
I would be interested if anyone can shed some light on the lives of these people.

Hi Mark, I am a Newey by birth in Australia. My grandfather was William Thomas Newey and GGF was William Mark Newey from Birmingham area. Having little luck getting information here without paying for it. Hoping maybe you may have some leads I can go with.

Hi Karen.
William Thomas and William Mark are not in my family tree (yet) but there is a family tree in Ancestry.com which I found quite easily, in which they appear.
William Mark Newey (1882-1961)
and
William Thomas Newey (1902-1957).
Both were born in Warwickshire, emigrated to Australia in 1921, and both are buried in the Woronora Cemetery in Sutherland, Sydney.

I'm not sure how much you already know and what else you want to know. You can contact me directly on mark.gdfr@gmail.com if you wish.

Thank you Mark for your assistance.
I have marriage and descendants from William Thomas but was having little luck with William Mark.
If you come across any older information, please let me know or if you give me some more detail of your line, I’m happy to assist.

Hello MarkGodfrey, Flossy1, and 2016karen,
Currently I am in correspondence (as a member) with the The Genealogical Society of Victoria researching Philip (a tortoise shell worker) and Elizabeth Newey residing in Deptford (London) during the 1841 census. Their son Frederick, born June 13, 1823, at William Street, Birmingham, I believe is my great great grandfather. Frederick died in 1888 and is buried at St Kilda Cemetery, Melbourne. From this point on I have an unbroken line of Newey decendents. What I am after is a definitive progression of Frederick's movement from Birmingham to Deptford and then to Port Phillip Colony, Australia. I thought he may have been the Frederick on the convict ship Pyramus to Van Dieman's Land but he may also be a free settler on the ship Lochnagar arriving in Melbourne in 1848. I have many documents. Can I help you and can you all help me?
