Alexander was married to Mary Burnett in 1861 in South Australia, his father,'s name was William, I am trying to find out when he arrived in Australia and where he came from. :-)

Does his marriage or death cert not give details of his parents or where he was born?

There is a good chance he came from Scotland but you may need more info...do you know his mothers name?

Hi Margaret
One of Alexander & Mary's childrens birth may hold some clues-Note the middle name of Minter

From SA Births-

Sex: F
Father: Alexander NOBLE
Mother: Mary BURNET
Birth Place/Residence: Lyndoch

Book: 25
Page: 129
Cross Reference:

Then see 1861 England Census
Name: William Noble
Age: 61
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1800
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Mary Ann Noble
Gender: Male
Where born: Monk Dohan

Civil parish: Framlingham

William Noble 61
Mary Ann Noble 46
William Noble 29
Walter Noble 27
Annie Minter Noble10 <<<<<<<<<<<<
Fredrick Monter Noble 4 <<<<<<<<
Celica Simpson 24

On IGI, Frederick recorded as Frederic Minter NOBLE bapt in Framlingham,Suffolk.

It seems a big gap between births of Walter & Annie- so maybe 2nd wife?
Did not doublecheck on image.

Hope this is of some help.
Cheers

I'm intrigued by the appearance of 'Minter' as a middle name in the Noble family. If anyone can explain why it came to be used, could they let me know please?

John,
You might do better to start a new thread with your query as Margaret never returned to this one.
