Alexander Noble - but which one?? (Re The Nobles in Fraserburgh)

[hdw]

For a fascinating account of life in Broadsea and the old fisher families there, I recommend you to read The Christian Watt Papers.

Christian's mother was a Noble and she mentions many other members of that family in her account of life there.

Thanks hdw,

Apologies for the late reply, I've been having a good look around for an ebook version of the Christian Watt Papers and have had no luck. Looks like I'll have to find a paperback (hopefully someone's got a secondhand copy in Australia!). Thank you very much for the recommendation!

On another note, for those that are interested, I've since been able to narrow down the Nobles in my family tree to:

Joseph Noble (b:1868, Fraserburgh) - Mary Bella Hutcheson
Alexander Noble (b: 1846, Fraserburgh) - Ann Stephen
Andrew Noble (b: 1817, Fraserburgh) - Helen May
Alexander Noble (b: 1779, Fraserburgh) - Margaret Noble
Gilbert Noble (1745 or 1755, Fraserburgh) - Margaret Crawford

If anyone is also a descendent of Gilbert Noble & Margaret Crawford, I'd be interested to compare notes (not to be confused with the Gilberts of a similar age married to 'Ann Crawford' and 'Jane Crawford' respectively).
