Noble CLINTON

[geoff clinton]

Trying to trace Noble Clinton and his decendants. Noble Clinton was born in 1875 to James Noble (Charles)Clinton and Martha Jane (Toner)? , Noble was born in Gundagai NSW. I believe he had a son William D Clinton. James Clinton was the brother of my Grt  Grandfather Arthur Peter Clinton. James arrived in Melborne Australia in 1857 with his wife Margaret. taking part I believe in the Gold Rush at Bellarat. Margaret died in 1864 and James married to Martha Jane (Toner)? They moved to Gundagai where 3 children were born Clara 1874, Noble in 1875 and Regina S M in 1878. James died in 1879.
Trying to locate and decendants.

Hi Geoff

Did Noble CLINTON have a second christian name ?

This death in New Zealand looks a possibility.

1958 - CLINTON - Noble Desmond - 82 years   (bc  1876)

 Noble was born in Gundagai NSW. I believe he had a son William D Clinton.

Aah ... I see child's birth is indexed as "William"  ... father "Noble D. " :

NSW

CLINTON - William
Father :  Noble D.          Mother :  Ellen
Reg'd.   Wollongong

This marriage from the New Zealand index :

Noble Desmond CLINTON - Ellen Matilda BLUMMONT - 1897

Seems the couple probably returned to NSW briefly ... other children were born in New Zealand.

Good find Lucy2.   

Geoff, I don't know if you have this, but Martha's maiden (or possibly widowed) surname was LANHAM (and variations!)

Her death notice is here http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17841116?searchTerm=clinton%20wollongong
Details in this death notice tie them all together.  Regina (born in NSW) married William R. PREECE in 1902 and is mentioned in Blanche's death notice, along with Arthur and William.

Mother:    Martha Lanham
Father:    James Clinton
Birth:    1872 - Eldorado, Victoria

I can't see a marriage for James and Martha in Victoria, but perhaps someone else can have a search.

Sadly, only three of Noble and Ellen's children, made it to adulthood.

Also have found some spelling variations in names of children -- have noted these below.

NZ Births (to today's date 1910)

1898 - Verbina*  Ellen CLINTON - This child was actually "Rubina Ellen"  ... "Verbina is an error on the Birth Index.

1900 - Noble Desmond CLINTON

1903 - Desmond CLINTON - died 1908 - aged 5 years

1905 - Derris* Harry CLINTON - spelling is "Derrice" according to NZ Marriage and Death indexes.

1907 - Joseph Henry CLINTON - died 1908 - aged 9 months
Parents:   Ellen Matilda and Noble Desmond

NZ Marriage

Rubina Ellen CLINTON - Arthur Hartley DAWSON - 1920


NZ Death

1984 - DAWSON - Rubina Ellen - d.o.b.  10 September 1898*

[Have checked the listing for "Verbina Ellen CLINTON - 1898" as shown on NZ Birth Index, and date of birth 10 September 1898 matches that of Rubina Ellen DAWSON. ]

Rubina and husband Arthur Hartley DAWSON have cremation records at the following link (Whangarei District Council site.)
