    His father was a plumber and a glazier, who went to Australia for their Gold Rush.

    It is unclear whether or not infant Harry went to Australia with his mother when she joined her husband there.

    Harry's brother, Thomas Charles (baptised Charles Thomas) was born in Australia in 1875.

    Harry's father died, and his widow returned to England. She and her two sons went to live with her parents and their five other children in Bristol.

    When he was 18, Harry was working as a Car Conductor on the horse drawn trams in Bristol and living with his brother and an aunt.

    Four years later in 1895, Harry on the S.S. Scythia emigrated to the USA where he joined his mother in Boston.

    On the ship he had given his occupation as ˜painter.

    In 1899 he married Emily Scholz, an immigrant from Germany who was the same age as himself.

    They settled in New York where Harry worked as a janitor.

    On the first day of February 1901, Harry became an American citizen, and on the last day of the same month he became the father of a little girl.

    A son was born two years later

    .In 1913 Harry and his wife Emily, both 40 years old, took a trip to the island of Bermuda.

    The duration of this trip is not known but on the return, they boarded the ship S.S Bermudian at the port of Hamilton on October 7th, 1913 and arrived at the port of New York City on October 9th of the same year.

    (Citation is the List of United States Citizens, Ship's Log of the S.S. Bermudian dated October 9th, 1913.)

    By 1915 the family was living in the Bronx in a duplex, which they owned.

    In 1918, Harry was required to fill out a Registration card for WW1.

    In it he is described as a supervisor in a gas mask factory.

    He was of medium height with blue eyes and black hair.

    In 1935 Harry and his wife returned to Bristol, England to visit his mother who was living there again.

    They stayed for two full months, and Harry produced more paintings on this trip.

    Although he had had various jobs as a car conductor; janitor; supervisor etc., he often gave his occupation as a painter or an artist.

    Harry W. Newman had trained as an artist in England before he moved to the States.

    In the USA he attended the Arts Students League in New York for evening and weekend classes.
