I have been trying to find references to Nobbe (then changed to Noble?) in Lubeck and also in East Yorkshire (Hull) but it seems to deviate from the original so much that I am wondering if they were actually called Nobbe or it was someone's spelling/"soundslike" mistake.  I have poured over the census record and the birth certificates etc and I'm still not sure.  My Frederick (Friedrich) William (Wilhelm) and Mrs (nee Schultz) Maria Katherina Dorothea were definitely German/Prussian but where do I go next please any help,ideas much appreciated
