Monty Search me!!!!! I think my aunt has thrown me by insisting that there were only 2 brothers, but maybe they just all got split up, who knows? I will get Georges birth cert as you advise and see if that helps Many thanks to you all for your help Lyn x

So who is Maria Newberry who died aged 29 then?? Anyway....If I were you I would buy the birth cert for one of your known two childen and take it from there!! Merry

Maria (Hood ) remarried in1876 ,She married David Charles Ayres She then had..George b 1881....Frederick b1884......Ethel b 1885 and Walter b1891 I think !?!?!?!

Do you all think that Arthur and Herbert are in fact the older brothers of George and Edward????? And his daughter is mistaken? Lyn

Lynda I'm confused. The death record shows Maria died in 1878 so who is the woman who remarried and had more children? Or are you now thinking that the boys you found in the workhouse aren't yours because they seem to belong to a larger family? nell

All these Newberry's in the same workhouse: 1881 1. Arthur NEWBERRY - 1881 British Census / Suffolk Pauper Gender: Male Birth: <1870> Kirkley, Suffolk, England 2. Herbert NEWBERRY - 1881 British Census / Suffolk Pauper Gender: Male Birth: <1871> Flixton, Suffolk, England 3. Edward NEWBERRY - 1881 British Census / Suffolk Pauper Gender: Male Birth: <1875> Flixton, Suffolk, England 4. George NEWBERRY - 1881 British Census / Suffolk Pauper Gender: Male Birth: <1876> Flixton, Suffolk, England 5. Beatrice NEWBERRY - 1881 British Census / Suffolk Pauper Gender: Female Birth: <1872> Kirkley, Suffolk, England 6. Rose NEWBERRY - 1881 British Census / Suffolk Pauper Gender: Female Birth: <1874> Kirkley, Suffolk, England 7. Edith NEWBERRY - 1881 British Census / Suffolk Pauper Gender: Female Birth: <1877> Kirkley, Suffolk, England Merry

Nell I did find that Maria in remarried at some piont and had lots of children But I wonder where the 2 boys that were born to her before George and Edward went??? Which made me think this was not the righr person Lyn

Oops, just read your message properly! So they were all there :o(( Merry

Which workhouse were the two little boys in? The older two are in Oulton Workhouse in 1881: Arthur NEWBERRY Pauper U Male 11 Kirkley, Suffolk, England Scholar Herbert NEWBERRY Pauper U Male 10 Flixton, Suffolk, England Scholar Merry

Despite George's daughter's insistence, it is perhaps possible that the two youngest children were put into the workhouse and older ones sent elsewhere by the parish. The boys may have been too young to remember much. The workhouse registers would show when they entered the workhouse. nell

It's possible that this could be the brother's birth:- Albert George E. Newbury (The E could be Edward) March qtr. 1874, Mutford, 4a, 752 Kath. x

This would seem to be Robert and Maria in 1871 Lowestoft Suffolk Robert Newberry abt 1849 Lowestoft, Suffolk Head Maria Newberry abt 1850 Corton, Suffolk Wife Arthur Newberry abt 1870 Lowestoft, Suffolk, England Son Herbert Newberry abt 1871 Lowestoft, Suffolk Son

Possibly the Robert and Maria whose deaths were found: 1868 Dec Marriages Mutford Suffolk Volume: 4a Page: 1530 Eves, Margaret Fuller, Samuel HOOD, Maria Newbery, Robert Though if this is them, I would have imagined they would have had more children born before 1875. nell

Newby, Edward George 1875 June Births Ipswich Suffolk Not the right area, but the children wouldn't have been giving the information in 1881, would they?

This appears to be the nearest match Newbury, George Charles 1875 September Births Mutford Suffolk

I've looked at the birth indexes for 1875 and 1876 and can't find a George Newberry born in the Mutford district in those years. Kath. x

I wonder if these are the deaths of their parents? Deaths Jun 1877 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEWBERRY Robert 30 Mutford 4a 512 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deaths Dec 1878 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEWBERRY Maria 29 Mutford 4a 514 Merry

You will have to look through the birth indexes (free at the moment on Ancestry) until you find a birth that looks to be a likely one at the time and in the place you think the birth occurred. The birth certificate will give you parents names. Flixton would be in the Mutford registration district. Kath. x

I need help please !!!!!! My grandfather was George Newberry b1876.in Flixton Suffolk His brother was Edward b1875 in Flixton Suffolk 1881 census says they were both in the workhouse at Oulton Suffolk. George's daughter is still alive and swears that there were only 2 brothers and no sisters.And she confirms that they were in the workhouse. There is no record of either parent. Can someone please tell me how to trace them back further than this? Thank You Lyn
