Durham / William Jobling - Gibbeted 1832 - Jarrow
« on: Wednesday 31 October 07 13:44 GMT (UK) »
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?
