1841 Look-up - NOBLE

[gougy]

Hi, Could someone take a look in the 1841 and see if they can find...

Thomas Smith Noble b. abt 1780 and possibly a wife, Elizabeth?? b. abt the same time.


I think this is the Thomas listed in 1851 in Windsor Union Workhouse, Berks but the family seem to have drifted to and fro between Gloucestershire and Berks..


Many thanks

ADDED....Might be a daughter Elizabeth plus sons John b. 1823 Windsor and Charles b.1824 Windsor

p.s The Thomas listed in 1851 was a carpenter, born Somerset

Hi,

Is it just that you cannot find Thomas and family in 1841 or are you looking for other information?

There are quite a few interesting entries for Westbury on Trym, Bristol for Nobles and a marriage for Charles Smith Noble.  It could be that you have all these are are just looking for the 1841 census entry.

Regards,
Elizabeth

Hi Liz, Yes I have the (possible) sons, Chas Smith NOBLE (1861 onwards) and John Smith NOBLE  (1851 onwards) and their marriages, kids ect. The daughter (if that's what she is) Eliz. Smith NOBLE got married 1843 but of her I know nothing. Trying to connect the Thomas Smith NOBLE bc. 1780 Yeaton/Yatton?, Somerset, widowed, carpenter, inmate of the Windsor Workhouse aged 71 from the 1851 census with these Windsor-born Smith Nobles. Obviously Chas Smith Noble's marriage cert would cough up the father's name, but I'm trying to avoid spending any more money on certs!

btw Chas Smith NOBLE was a carpenter and John Smith NOBLE a police constable in 1851, Sergeant by 1861 in Windsor

Hi Gougy,

You say that Thomas Smith Noble was born in Yatton c.1780.  There is a Noble family at that time and there were many children born to Samuel and Betty Noble. No Smith.  There is an entry 27th February 1780 of a child but it is obviously illegible as there is a ? in the first name column and no sex defined.  Sounds a possible baptism for Thomas.

If you think this could be the family and you want the names of his siblings, let me know.

I will come back with anything else I can find later.  Got guests for dinner.

Regards,
Elizabeth

Hi Gougy,

Sorry not to have come back to you before but I have not been able to find anything that is a positive link.

There is a death entry for Elizabeth Smith Noble 2/1903 Bristol,born c 1822 who was possibly the widow that was living in  57 Egerton Road, Horfield BS in 1871, but that could be the wife of Charles perhaps.

Not so sure that the place of birth for Thomas Nobel in 1851 is Yatton, it is a bit difficult to be sure what it says.

Sorry I could not help any more but best of luck with the research and if you are really stuck, you can always send for the marriage cert of one of the children.

Regards,
Elizabeth
