There seems to be a clear link between the Newton entries and the Boinville entries. The editors of Mary Shelley's Journal have Cornelia as the sister of Mrs Boinville (not to be confused with Cornelia Boinville, the Boinville's daughter who married Thomas Turner and was at risk to Shelley at one point) and the wife of John Frank Newton. This means that entries for 'Newtons' include Mrs Newton.

Godwin notes her death.
