Is anyone researching the Newland family who emigrated to Canada sometime after 1907 - William Newland, born 1868 at Egham, Surrey and his wife Emily Ruth Powles. They children were Edith Emily Newland 1895, William Stanley 1900 and Harold George 1906.

The family appeared to settle at first in Charlottesville and later in Simcoe.

Any help on this family would be greatly appreciated.

1912, Eastern US Ports, Vessel: Ascania
Sailed from Southampton to Portland Maine.

Newland,
William, 42, b England, destination: Simcoe, farm laborer, cowman, 7 1/2 yrs [I think this means he was in Canada for that period of time prior to this entry]
Emily, 40, b England, destination: Simcoe, has not been in country before
Edith, 18, as above, domestic
William, 13? as above, scholar
George, ?, as above, scholar
It says British Bonus Allowed.

You say that William was b 1900 and George 1906. Maybe that was the 7 yrs that father was away?

The above site is an index of headstones. Your Newlands are buried St John Anglican Cemetery, Woodhouse Tsp Norfold County, Reference: NR-98-137

The site will tell you how to contact the cemetery for more information.

births released to 1909; marriages to 1924 and deaths to 1935.
So that you don't get mixed up. The Simcoe you are looking for is in Norfolk County. There is also a Simcoe County.

That is all I could find on them. I wondered if Mrs Smith, informant on William Newland death rego, could have been his daugher Edith Emily. I didn't find any marriage for her.
