The name in and around Burgh Castle (near Great Yarmouth) can be found in the earliest parish records of the area which date from the mid 1600's. However so far, it is only with James Newark (born circa 1695) that a continuous lineage can be shown to the present.
The early Newarks of the Burgh Castle area were mostly farm labourers, yeomen, or fishermen. By the early 1800's some became successful tradesmen in Great Yarmouth, starting their own businesses in blacksmithing, whitesmithing and cabinetry. Others moved to London taking up the trades of bookbinding and blindmaking. Their shops prospered, but the fruits of their labour was split among their heirs and gradually dissipated. Their offspring moved on with the increasingly mobile work force, and into ever widening fields of endeavour. In the mid 1800's one family member moved to Canada where he married and had children before moving on to Michigan in the USA where his descendants prospered, becoming house builders, pharmacists, and one a doctor who founded the Charlotte Sanitarium.
