Hi Ricky

Do you happen to know the house number on Tyne St.?
On the 1861 census I have a Taylor household at 13 Tyne St. The wife Dorothy was a Noble Metcalf. She is probably William's aunt.
Thanks
Joan

Hi All,  I was so happy to stumble across the old postings on Robert Noble METCALF.  Robert Noble M is my GG Grandfather.  I would love to swap information with all interested.   This is my first posting and I hope it works.  Cheers from a cold windy Melbourne.  Val

Hi Val
I hate to be a wet blanket on your first posting, but..

There is a problem with answering 5 year old messages - sometimes the author has passed away. Joan did last year.
Regards,
Dumpling's other parent.

P.S.
Don't give up. RootsChat is a great site.

Hi Dumplings other parent,  I am so sorry to hear about Joan.  I will continue with the site, it has already helped me.  I've been searching for 'not quite so direct ancestors' for years and at least now have an idea of some names and dates.  Again sorry to hear your sad news and thanks for your help.  Regards,  Val
