I have named this family "The Coachmakers'. Primarily residing in St Martin in the Fields, their names have been associated incorrectly with John Newport, formerly John Harrison, the son of Henry Newport 3rd Earl of Bradford. My thoughts in this story go to the wives and children. Their stories and lives must have been tragic.

Samuel Newport born 1797 at Great Missendon, Buckinghamshire was my direct ancestor. He travelled to New Zealand in 1842. In this post I identify the conflation of this Samuel with another Samuel Newport, the keeper of the Clerkenwell New prison, in the late 18th-early 19th century.
