I have just viewed this entry for William Herbert Newman, my grandfather's brother and I am delighted, as nobody in my family has been able to enlighten me as to what happened to him after he left the UK. I have recently found out a great deal more about the Newman family history and I would like to find out more about his descendents. Pat Sills
