Hello My name is Alison Newberry and my Dad grew up in Poplar, London. Dad has now died, but I am trying to find out more about my family history and I see that some of you have been researching the Stevenage Newberries and I wondered if there is any connection, as it is quite a rare surname, especially spelt with two rr. Would really appreciate any info, thanks
I have a post card of this Picture with ” Stevenage Fire brigade about 1910″ taken outside the Grange. My father who was in the Stevenage brigade, has written on the back, the names from Left to Right as; A Folbigg F Newbery F Hyde H Howard C Toll and Welch.
Hi Jill, I live next door to Gloria and we’re looking for any old pictures of our house – any chance you might still be in touch with the Newberrys you gathered?! We’d be very keen to chat to anyone that lived in our house, particularly if they had any old pictures of it! Alice
How interesting that you live there, Gloria. I did a bit of research on the Newberry family for a First World War exhibition at the museum & managed to get some of the descendants together at the opening. I wondered if the house was still there!

The man on the left side of the photograph was George Newberry, who lived in Meadowsleade cottage, where I am living now, in 2011.
