I keyed in New Louen Poole Eng on google and there are many references to that name, mostly people from newfoundland with ref to where their ancestors come from. Have never heard of the name, I donot think it is newtown, its in the borough of poole, am puzzled, is it a ship ? regards Jean in Poole. PS AM MEETING TOMORROW WITH POOLE HISTORIANS AT POOLE MUSEUMTO FIND MORE ABOUT "New Louen Poole Eng" Jean in POOLE

The two New Louen Poole Eng references I found on Google relate to the same marriage in Hermitage Bay, Newfoundland. I suspect that they are based on the same transcription so to settle this it will probably be necessary to look at the original document. There was a separate reference to 'New Louen, Conn' on the ellisisland.org website, but looking at the original Ship's Manifest proved that this was an error and it should have been New London, Conn. There is a 'New London Tavern' in Lagland Street, Poole but although this appears in the 1889 issue of Kelly's Directory, I cannot see any adjacent area which might be referred to 'New London' although it may have been a customary rather than official designation in a similar sense to 'The (Big) Smoke' for London. Intriguingly on the same marriage page (http://ngb.chebucto.org/Parish/herm-marr-01.shtml) there is an entry for a Richard Penny in 1877. He was born 'Newton, England'. Given the link between Dorset and Newfoundland this could be a contraction of Sturminster Newton, but as this is some distance from Poole I do not think that this is not connected with 'New Louen'. I look forward to hearing what suggestions come from your visit to Poole Museum.

Thanks Russel, the reason for not thinking it is Newtown Poole [all one word], is that area in the 1800's would have been heathland, I lived near there in Alderney, 1934 our bungalow was new, we were surrounded on three sides by heathland & Romany Gipsys, Newtown is made up of 1920's Council Houses, new council housing estates and factories ect . Sturminster Newton a lovrly market town is some 25 miles away, there are many villages/towns in Dorset & Devon which end with newton, I am intrigued, my Squibb family can be traced back to the late 1600's , all born within a 8 mile radious of Wimborne, that includes Poole, Regards Jean The two New Louen Poole Eng references I found on Google relate to the same marriage in Hermitage Bay, Newfoundland.

Just a little way south of Hermitage Bay, Newfoundland, is Poole Cove, Newfoundland. If New Louen is a corruption of Newfoundland, it is quite possible that the spouse came from here and the England is either incorrect or indicates place of birth. Given that Hermitage is also in Dorset, and in 1872 many of the "Pariswh Clerks" were only semi literate, could this be an explanation?
