Ralph was the son of William Newby born 1591 in England, probably Northumberland, and an unknown mother. The family later moved to Easington Village, County Durham, where Ralph and all of his siblings were baptized into the Church of England.
His known siblings included sisters Alice (1615- ) and Rachel (1619- ) and also possibly a brother named John since John had a daughter named Rachel whose baptismal witnesses were Ralph and Rachel "Newbie".
Ralph married Dorothy Hichley on the 22nd of May 1636, in Easington, Durham County, England. 1629. The Parish marriage records there list them as Radulphus and Dorothea. All of their children were born in Easington, with the exception of Mark, born in Northumberland. Baptismal records exist in Easington for children William, Edward, Rachel, John, Elinor, and Ralph. It may be that after 1650, Ralph and Dorothy were already having doubts about the Church of England as we can find no baptismal records for Joseph and Isabella.
Ralph and Dorothy converted to the teaching of George Fox and the Society of friends sometime after 1650 and moved to Ireland to escape persecution of Quakers in England. Since the Catholic Irish were also persecuted by the English, they sympathized with the Quakers.
Ralph lived in Ireland until his death there as the Religious Act of Tolerance was not passed in England until 1689.
Ralph and Dorothy had the following children.
William, born in 1636 and baptized 14 August 1637 at Easington, County Durham, England
