Durham / Re: William Jobling - Gibbeted 1832 - Jarrow
« on: Saturday 16 September 17 00:01 BST (UK) »Hi,Is anybody postingAccording to my aunty we are related to him. She has posted on this page her name is Rita11 if you would like to ask herNo, he's not a relative. I'm on work experience at a TV company and had the idea of a little feature on it. They liked it - so I've been charged with seeing if i can find a relative to pin the story on. But it's looking like they wouldn't even know they were related to him - it's all a bit murky, isn't it?link=topic=265317.msg1502969#msg1502969 date=1193838240]
Hello All
I'm trying to find out if there are any living descendants of William Jobling, one of the last men to be gibbeted in England.
I think he was found guilty of murder at Durham Assizes (though it's suggested he didn't do it) after a magistrate called Nicholas Fairles was killed on June 11th 1832.
I know he was married to a lady called Isabella, and that she died in a South Shields workhouse in 1891 - but I DON'T know if they had any children....and I don't know if I can find that out online.
New to all this business!
Can anyone suggest a good website to start looking on?
