     Richard Newsome was born circa 1797 at Ipswich, Suffolk. He was the son of Richard Newsome and Mary Dixon. I have not found a baptism fo Richard Newsome, but I believe him to be the son of Richard and Mary. It would seem less likely that we would find a Newsome with family roots elsewhere established as a woollen manufacturer in Batley by 1851 than one with local connections. Also we know that his father had spent some time away from Batley, and this Richard uses Dixon, his mother's maiden name, as a middle name for one of his sons.
