From Diana Smith's 2010 book "East Midlands Lace Makers in Old Photographs"
Miss Catherine Esther Mary Newman was the daughter of Draper and Grocer Thomas Smith Newman and his wife Mary Ann of Woburn Sands Buckinghamshire, she was born in 1875 at Woburn Sands in the parish of Wavendon and died in 1962 aged 87 years at Russell Street Woburn Sands. Her father died quite young, leaving widow Mary Ann to raise Catherine and her three young brothers. She wasn’t a ‘working’ lacemaker - on the 1901 census return she was listed as a school teacher, aged 26 years.
