Suz!!!! Wonderful!!! I asked but didn't really expect anyone to be able to help me - except with a few suggestions, perhaps. Yes, he was born in 1869 and he was a wood carver! On top of that, his brother was my grandfather, John James Newport, of Caritas Villa, in the village of Hooe, in East Sussex - just as it says in the column headed 'nearest relative' That's brilliant! I can't believe it! There aren't enough exclamation marks to show how pleased, and how grateful, I am! Well, there's another one! Some of his children are there but the others must have stayed behind, in London, where they, I think, were living. Thanks for your offer of further help - I just may take you up on that - but not for a while! Just one thing the three attachments - the 1930 census isn't a census but is the same as the 'border crossing, which is the 'manifest of alien passengers'. I don't understand what the third item is as the computer can't or won't open it. Sorry to seem to be complaining - I'm not, honest!
