Face to Face with a
Homicidal Maniac by Elizabeth Dineen (née Newark). On
July 1st 1993 Gian Luigi Ferri,
a 55-year old mortgage broker, went to the 34th floor offices of the law firm
of Pettit & Martin armed with three weapons and hundreds of rounds of
ammunition. He also carried a supposed grudge against certain lawyers. Before the afternoon was over, he had
murdered 8, killed himself, wounded and terrorized many others. Elizabeth (Newark) Dineen of San
Francisco (Burgh Castle Newark Family, Newington Branch) worked for Pettit
& Martin, and came face to face with Ferri at
the beginning of his rampage. Here, written in her own words shortly
afterwards, is what happened.
Newark Farms by Michael J. Newark. An article
about James Newark (1784-1875) a yeoman farmer at Ferriars
Road, Burgh Castle, and his wife and family.
It traces what is known of the individuals, and the disposition of the
farm after the death of Sophia Newark who inherited it from her father. It also includes an account of the farm
operated by his son James Newark (1807-1866) at Browston
Green, Belton. Sources of information
included.
Newark Merchants by
Michael J. Newark (with acknowledgment to Christopher Newark and Alan Newark
for supplying much of the source material).
An introduction to the history of Great
Yarmouth, Norfolk, is provided and how Newark tradesmen found
opportunities there in the 19th century. Biographical information concerning nineteen
different individuals is given in a list entitled “List of Great Yarmouth Newarks”. There is
also a list giving the names of families with whom Newarks
had connections. The Newark names
that commemorate the partnership are shown as well as relevant Newark marriages (where
known). Sources of information included.
Newarks of Acomb by Michael J. Newark
(with acknowledgment to Christopher Newark). The earliest known records
of individuals and families named Newark date
from the 13th century, and take us to the City of York,
in Yorkshire. Although there is no known relationship
between these Newark families and those of Burgh Castle, their lineage is
very interesting from a genealogical point of view because not only is it
unusual to be able to trace a family so far back in time, but it perhaps also
demonstrates the derivation of the family surname Newark from the place named
Newark.
Grimsby Newarks
Grimsby Newarks by Michael J. Newark. For three
centuries Newark families lived in Grimsby (and vicinity), Lincolnshire,
England. Some served terms as Mayor of Grimsby. In the early 19th century it
appears that the last family moved away to the USA and the Newark name was no
longer to be found in birth index references for the area.
Patterns of
Newark migration in Lincolnshire by Michael J. Newark An analysis of the movement of the Newark
name in the county of Lincolnshire,
England
during the period 1565 to1838. (PDF file)
