Walter Noble (1828)

Thanks all for the additions,

I'm still thinking William (father of Walter)may have been Charlotte's husband who died in 1840. Maybe brother of Henry? I guess getting the death cert might give the answer, one way or another.

that will only tell you who registred the death i think and waht relation they were to the deceased (along with the obvious cause of death etc,)

Hi toni*

Yes - hopefully it as registered by Charlotte, (or even Horace) which will fill in a piece of the puzzle. In the mean time i'll keep trawling the sites.

Have you looked at A2A?  Harvest Hill apears to have been part of the Sergison estate - they owned most of Cuckfield - and there is a reference to HA Noble decd in 1874.  A will might prove fruitful.  William may have left one too.
Canon Cooper's book on Cuckfield gives a list of Freeholders in 1697 and Harvest Hill is 51 acres occ Stephen Anstie, C Sergison and there is a footnote which says "Harvest Hill was occupied by the Burtenshawes in 1722 when the house was destroyed by fire, and in 1806 E Bates entered in his diary Harvest Hill estate sold to Mr Noble £2240"
All adds a bit to the picture.

There are baptisms of children for William and Charlotte Noble on the IGI in Cuckfield.  Batch number C024337.   No male child there though.

Wow indeeed - sillgen/Andrea - Wonderful find- will check out the wills route. Strangely enough the BUrtenshaws of Cuckfield are ancestors too!!!! So fro teh IGI looks like William was Charlotte's hubby - so possibly they are Walter's paretns too.

It certainly adds to teh jigsaw- poca a poca as we say here (little by little)

Thank you loads,

It is very odd that there are no Noble marriages anywhere near Cuckfield on the SMI.  The only one for William to a Charlotte is too early I think.   To Charlotte Cawthorn in Brighton on Jul 22 1809.   botp.  There are various other Nobles around the Brighton/Preston area but I have a feeling they are not yours.  I have the Cuckfield parish register index from 1598 to 1699 and there are no Noble entries at all.

1871 census has Henry A Noble still at Harvest Hill age 79 and with him as farm bailiff is his nephew Horace Noble age 25? born Cuckfield.   The older generation all seem to come from London.  Charlotte is from St Dunstan in the East according to the 1851 census so I expect she and William married somewhere there too .  It is always possible the older children were baptised up there I suppose.
