Outline Henry's Life: The only information I have about Henry Brown Newman comes from information provided to me by Tony Newman (see ) and Jack Paynter.

Tony Newman's information is as follows:- Henry Brown Newman: matriculated Wadham College, Oxford 06 DEC 1815 aged 17, scholar 1816-25, B.A. 1819, M.A. 1825, Fellow 1825-38. Of Babcary, Soms in 1838 - trustee of land in Blandford Forum (Reg. of Voters). Rector of Little Bromley, Essex 1838, until his death in 1878.

On 21st Dec 2002, Jack Paynter (John Bernard Pendarves Paynter, second son of Edwin Pendarves Paynter and grand-son of James Bernard Paynter) sent me the following message and photo which I suspect relates to Henry Brown Newman:

"I thought you might be interested in this photo of a silver salver that I have just cleaned for Christmas. It reads "A token of esteem from the indabitants of Glastonbury to the Rev H B Newman MA in remembrance of the kind, faithful, and Christian discharge of his pastoral duties whilst among them AD1834." (It must have taken ages to get that inscription right at the parish council meeting). I can not figure out who he was in the family tree."
