John Frederick Newman is listed as working in London from 7 & 8 Lisle Street between 1816-25 and then moving to 122 Regent Street until being taken over by Negretti & Zambra in 1862.

'He made standard and portable barometers for the Ross Antarctic expedition and his meteorological station barometers were installed throughout the British Empire. He exhibited at the Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace in 1851 and was, without doubt, the leading scientific barometer maker of his day. The business was taken over by Negretti & Zambra in 1862'. (Edwin Banfield, 'Barometer Makers & Retailers 1660-1900).
