Re: reference in your post to "Wilson Noble"

I find in the 1841 census the following return and the return of another Wilson Noble and wonder if there might be a connection.......

1841 Census             
Piece: SCT1841/196 Place: Fraserburgh -Aberdeenshire Enumeration District: 4
Civil Parish: Fraserburgh Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: -
Folio: 4 Page: 6
Address: Broadsea
Surname First name(s)   Sex   Age   Occupation   Where Born 
NOBLE   Margaret        F   38   Fisherman's Wife  Aberdeenshire       
NOBLE   Andrew         M   15   Fisherman            Aberdeenshire       
NOBLE   Alexander      M   13   Fisherman            Aberdeenshire       
NOBLE   Isabella         F   10                              Aberdeenshire       
NOBLE   Wilson           M    8                               Aberdeenshire       
NOBLE   Elisabeth        F    6                               Aberdeenshire       
NOBLE   Joseph           M    4                               Aberdeenshire       
NOBLE   William          M    2                               Aberdeenshire     

My main interest is in Andrew, aged 15 and to determine if his mother Margaret is Margaret Buchan, wife of John Noble.  John and Margaret married in Fraserburgh 6 Oct 1822.
Margaret is described as a "Fishermans Wife" which suggests her husband is alive and away from home on the night of the census (otherwise she would be described as a "Widow" )
