Not quite sure how he fits into my tree yet but upon further research I found the information listed below. Of interesting note is that in 1920 he was living with my great-uncle Alfred SMITH (cousin maybe?) and in 1930 he is actually living with the children John NEWMAN, who died in 1924 and was the brother of Richard NEWMAN, with whom he traveled to America in 1907. John and Richard NEWMAN would have been the nephews of my great-great-grandmother. Seems like more than coincidence to me.
