Thank you! I look forward to reading any info they can provide. The Henry Wellman that you find when "googling" New Louen is my ancestor. Unfortunately, I won't be able to check the records myself to see if, as I suspect, there was an error in the transcription, for quite some time. (I think the records are at The Rooms in St. John's, NL, and I'm in the US).

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
