Hello,
I seem to have missed your reply re: Stanley Cottage some time ago.
My gr. grandfather James Noble died 12 Mar 1895 at Stanley Cottage, while with his daughter and son in law, William and Eleanor Henderson. James Noble is buried at Longhirst. His death notice in the Morpeth Herald and Reporter Sat. Mar 16 pg. 8 says:
" At Hexham Stanley Cottage (at the home of his son in law, William Henderson) 12th inst.. in his 81st year, Mr. James Noble. Upwards of 50 years a faithful and valued servant in the Lawson family of Longhirst Hall."
James Noble was a gardener at longhirst hall from 1841 through 1891?
William Henderson was a gamekeeper. The 1881 census shows him living at Thorneyhirst Cottage Birtley. The 1891 shows him at Old Sawmill House, Gunnerton. The 1901 census has him at Whickhope Lodge, Wellhaugh Falstone as a gamekeeper. His wife Eleanor died 1902 while at Whickhope. He was there as well in 1911. William died 1928 retired at 86 years at Lanehead, Coanwood Lambley. I don't know how long he was at Stanley Cottage, or where he worked while there.
I contacted Beaufort Castle, the reply said that they had no record of him there, but if he worked at Whikhope any information would be in the archives of Alnwick Castle. I have not managed to justify though, the cost of that search.
Sorry my information is so scant.
