SIGNATURES OF PEOPLE FROM NEWHAVEN FAMILIES - 1880s / 1890s

From an autograph album

By Reg Towner

These signatures are of people from Newhaven families who were friends and relatives of the Towners in the 1880s and 1890s.  I hope you find someone you "know" amongst them.  They are all from an autograph book kept by the Towner children at the time.  

You will find the following surnames represented here : Chapman Knight Ludlow Nettleingham Reeve Smith Sargent Stone Taylor Towner Winter and Wood.

I'm afraid I don't know much about Harry except that he was married to Elizabeth (Lizzie) Ingram & he was born 1873.On the 1911 census they lived at 39 Railway Road Newhaven & had two daughters Elizabeth & Millicent & a son Harry Neal. Hope this helps. Kathy

Hi Reg, sorry slight mistake in my last message in that I should have said Lizzie was my Gran's sister & not Grandad's & her maiden name was Tadman. Regards Kathy

Where was Leghorn Villa, shown in the 8th picture, and residence of H. Arthur Towner? I'm assuming it was named after the Italian town ?

"Leghorn Villa" - my guess is that it refers to the property at 58 Fort Road.  That is because this is where Arthur Towner and his family lived in 1899, a time when many of the houses on Fort Road were "named" as well as "numbered".
