I've been researching the history of the NEWBON family for about 30 years and love to hear from people connected in any way.

Correction: 1938 wedding reception prob in Co-op hall on corner of Burntwood Lane (opposite Turtle Road) not church hall! @summerstown182

Thanks for yesterday's wonderful @summerstown182 walk! A Newbon wedding reception in St Mary's church hall (29/1/'38)

@summerstown182 Hi! Wonderful stuff! John is my uncle. As well as my #Newbon research, so excited by stories of Louisa Marshall's career!

@bbcradio3 On air now: Rossini's string sonatas were suggested as repertoire to Sir Neville by writer Peter Gammond, who turns 90 today!

The full story of the Newbon family in Handel's Mayfair @handelhouse (also at http://t.co/r47qY3dosB) http://t.co/r47qY3dosB

In 1744 Mrs Elizabeth Newbon was living at Clarges St off Piccadilly when Handel visited his friend Mrs Delany there @handelhouse

[Stephen Willis @newbonfh]

Last Sunday's wonderful @handelhouse walk round Handel's Mayfair provided proof that the C18th London Newbons mixed with the great and good.

Current research: jazz musician Sadie CRAWFORD (1885-1965), later MOZEE. Born Louisa Harriet MARSHALL, younger sister of Mrs Rhoda NEWBON.

A lovely City of London week: Castle Baynard Ward Club at Guildhall Art Gallery (Tues); United Wards' Club at Windsor Castle (Wed).

@dchetu Great stuff! Raymond Bragg Brockelbank and Joseph Newbon (and his brothers) from my tree would have been first cousins.
