Harriet was the youngest of the thirteen children of Ely shoemaker, Robert Cooper and his wife Elizabeth (née Fison).
Unlike many of Harriet's siblings, she remained in Ely and married Alfred Newman. Together they had thirteen children, with the penultimate child, Selina May, dying at the age of 2 years.
Their family lived initially in Church Lane and then later from 1881 in Bull Lane, near the Waterside area of Ely.
