Quite a lot of info
My Elizabeth Steel, wife of Thomas Noble was born in Stapleton, not Bewcastle, but it was not exact and they are quite close together
-
Would imagine it is the correct couple - 17 anc trees - probably copied from one to the other.
Marriage 11 June 1777 Bewcastle - Thomas Noble and Elizabeth Steel
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NVM7-RB9
The 3 children you quote for Thomas and Elizabeth - Mary in 1787, Jenny in 1792, Elizabeth in 1796 and William in 1778 were all christened Bewcastle.

Thanks Sandra, appreciate it

I think Elizabeth Steel and John Little died in Stapleton
Looking at familysearch, Elizabeth was born in Stapleton, they both married in Stapleton, their first child was born in Stapleton and despite the remaining children being born in Kirklinton, there are no burials for either Elizabeth or John in Kirklinton, but there are three possibilities for John and four for Elizabeth in Stapleton
-
Elizabeth Noble's final child was born in Lanercost, perhaps she died there too
-
Also, their son William, born in 1778 Bewcastle died in 1806 aged 28 and was buried in Bewcastle graveyard.
There is a grave and inscription for him, it mentions parents Thomas and Elizabeth, but doesn't give much clues as to their deaths other than the fact they are probably still alive since they are not described as late
-
There is no death after 1837 that would match my Elizabeth, all of the ages given do not correspond with a baptism of 1755.
The most likely at the moment looks to be the death in 1813, the tree on geni gives no sources, but all the baptisms and deaths for her children look sound, so the information is credible in some degree
