Durham / Re: William Jobling - Gibbeted 1832 - Jarrow

No, he's not a relative. I'm on work experience at a TV company and had the idea of a little feature on it. They liked it - so I've been charged with seeing if i can find a relative to pin the story on. But it's looking like they wouldn't even know they were related to him - it's all a bit murky, isn't it?

In the 1841 census it said she was fifteen, so that'd mean she was born in 1826 - is it likely she wasn't sure when she was born back then?

Well...after a bit of floundering about on family search.org, I found another Jobling (Annie this time) with William and Isabella listed as parents - but she was born in 1890 - weird, as he died in 1932!

So maybe I'm barking up a dubious tree there. Apart from that I can't find much about the kids. I tried them all for marriages on there but nothing in Jarrow.....

Durham / William Jobling - Gibbeted 1832 - Jarrow

Hello All

I'm trying to find out if there are any living descendants of William Jobling, one of the last men to be gibbeted in England.

I think he was found guilty of murder at Durham Assizes (though it's suggested he didn't do it) after a magistrate called Nicholas Fairles was killed on June 11th 1832.

I know he was married to a lady called Isabella, and that she died in a South Shields workhouse in 1891 - but I DON'T know if they had any children....and I don't know if I can find that out online.

New to all this business!

Can anyone suggest a good website to start looking on?
