If he was a fisherman in 1851 then maybe he was at sea in 1841. Annoying I know, I have a Norfolk great-great grandfather who is fishing in 1841, working away in 1851 (no idea where!) and then has the cheek to die in 1858. I am wondering if he was fishing or working away on the census, or whether he was a) in prison or b) shacked up with someone else! nell |

Ive just remembered FREECEN........it has had 100% coverage for 1841 for a long time-340,000 people recorded.....it too only came up with the 2 that we have on this thread.It is possible that just the father was away at sea and that the son went into fishing later when his father died or needed help.......joinery was a standard trade that would come in handy for boat repairs etc. |

Ah, well now - I briefly lived in Fish Street, St Ives. It is literally ten yards from the beach.Digy Sq backs onto Fish St. St Ives men often combined fishing with Joinery (boat building) ag labbing and building - anything to make a penny when the fish didnt come. The Noall's are a huge family in St Ives (sometimes misspelled as Knowle) and are certainly related to one another somewhere along the line. If I can help with anything, I have easy access to St Ives Archive Centre which is jam packed with stuff of a very local nature. OC |

Many thanks everyone. That's the trouble with me Noalls you see, they were mostly fishermen and master mariners, which is a pain when you're trying to track them down. But you would think they could stay in just one day when the enumerator called! lol. Many thanks oc, have been to the Archive Centre a few times but I think they were getting fed up with the sight of me. Am going to try to get down there again soon (even if just to see their faces drop when I walk in :)) They are ever so helpful. And thanks Ego, the Simon you found seemed to be only on the 1841 so they obviously rounded his age up or down, and then got his age right on the rest. Many many thanks everyone for all your time and trouble. Bex |
