Hey up. My family are direct descendants of William Jobling. My grandmother was widowed with 2 daughters and went on to  marry a Jobling (my "step" grandad). They had 3 daughters who between them have had 4 children - who now have their own children.

We have been able to trace our family tree back to William Jobling, so in answer to a previous question - yes there are living relatives and quite a number of us!

I currently hold the watch that has been handed down through the family. It is a silver pocket watch on a gold chain. It was presented to the family from a miners union. Our branch of the family name was changed from Jobling to Jopling in the 1920's by a mistake made on a birth certificate. The name William is still used within our family and the place of Williams body is a passed down family secret and will remain so but, I have had two variations on his resting place so cannot be certain of either. One of them is still used by the family to this day.
