Hello Sandflea I have no information on your family, but I would like to add my interest to the Newitt line which I am researching. I have been on this list for 11 months now and yours is the first posting which has been sent to this Newitt mail list. I hope this starts a few threads. I am researching the family of James Newitt born 1832 in Chatteris Cambridgeshire, son of Thomas Newitt and Mary Topper. James immigrated to Newcastle Australia on 1855 and married Mary Ann Turner the same year, they were both on the same ship and married within a month after their arrival.

Hi everyone, I am your list manager. I began this list knowing it would be small several years ago and I would love to see it get going! The Newitts were Grama's favorite cousins - good people! My grandmother's mother was Martha Newitt from OXF - here is the documentation: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/1newitt.html To be honest, I have only researched my own line, but I am certainly willing to help you out by posting your lines as well so you can all look at what you each have.... I also have Rootsweb Bulletin Boards up for the surname, but, as you say, the "traffic" has been light :) http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=surnames.newitt Take a look at what we have, and add to it! Eventually it should work - most of what I have came from "cousins" willing to do look ups in England... I am in the SF Bay Area, CA, USA... Good luck to us ALL!

Hi Alan, You nearly gave me heart failure when I started reading your mail - I've been looking for my husband's granny's family for many years. I have a James Terry Newitt bc 1845 son of Thomas [bc 1816] & Mary ............. [bc 1814] as to where the family originates, is my black stump :-(( They came to South Aussie pre 1868 when he married Emily Wood. He was an Ironmonger by trade & owned land in Norwood, Sth Aust. So far, I haven't found them on any shipping lists. Ideas anyone???
