Hi , I have in my Brickwall bag, this fella Edward, now, he is my GGGrandfather, born around 1854 in Blackburn, according to 1871 census in Carlisle which is where he was living at the time. In the census his surname is given as Noble, I have him on 1871 and 1861 census in Carlisle( i think, its been a while lol). In 1874 he marries Martha Lightfoot in Carlisle, his name is given as Noble Robinson, fathers name Martin Noble. He vanishes after 1881, i cant find him anywhere until his death early 1900s in Carlisle as Robinson.
I cant work out why he changed his name, but more important to me, i cannot find a record of his birth, or in fact any details for a Martin Noble that would fit. I would love to know where he went, the whole family vanish after 1881, no sign of them on census in 1891 though i have located one daughter living with her maternal grandparents in 1891 in Carlisle.
Without flooding the pge with useless info, if any one can help find him and the reasons , i would be grateful,.
thanks
