Yes I am descended through Lancelot Newton and Mary Shepherd's older son Surtees Newton. He married Mary Ann Sanderson on 27 Jun 1866 at Gateshead Register office. Their daughter, Elizabeth Ann Newton married Henry James Sinclair on 21 June 1892 and he was my gt grandfather. Do you have much info on Mary Shepherd? I have struggled with her birth date, parents, siblings. Her parents were George and Mary and he was a sailor?
