From Marriage Data - Bonivista Area at

"Jan(y) 17(th) Married Charles Newhook & Catherine Dau(r) of the late Jonah & Hannah Newell of this harbour".
From "Pot Heads and Drumhoops, A Folk History of New Harbour, Trinity Bay"
(1995), by Garry Cranford with Raymond Hillier:
Charles Newhook II was the town's leading citizen.
When his wife died, a scribe at Trinity recorded,
"Monday, 2nd April, 1810, Charles Newhook arrived from New Harbour in a
schooner with his wife's corpse on board".
N. C. Crewe wrote:
- "The Times," a city newspaper, in its issue of 15 May 1839, has the following news item:-
"Died. At this place Monday last, of concussion of the brain, occasioned by an accidental fall whilst engaged in the
duties of his profession, Mr. Charles Newhook, aged 65 years, for upwards of 30 years master shipbuilder in Trinity
and neighborhood for Messrs John Bingley Garland & Co. Mr Newhook was a most skilful, active and perservering man,
and his death is sincerly regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance."
- The issue of 14 May 1839, of "The Royal Gazette," reports the death more fully, thus:-
"In the afternoon of yesterday the Coroner was called in to hold an inquest on the body of Mr. Charles Newhook, Sr.,
of Trinity, who was accidentally killed by falling from the mast of a wrecked vessel at the South side of this harbour;
a verdict to this effect was returned by the Jury. The deceased Mr. Newhook was well known and much respected both in
this community and in Trinity Bay."
- He was actually in his sixty-first year, and was buried in the Anglican cemetary at Trinity.
