......sad....he left two sons and professed his innocence........apparently there was a TV programme on the murder in 2005.

Was that Joseph William Noble, Suzanne?

pity I live so far away,but I could subscribe to the journal,my dads great uncle JOSEPH NOBLE shot someone and was hanged in durham goal in 1915.

I would love to learn more about him.

I deleted my original thread on the Genealogy board by mistake - but here for anyone interested is the programme for the new Alnwick Family History Society.

6th May “120,000 years of Family History” Steve Ridpath
Steve will be known to several members from his work with the U3A. He promises a fascinating new take on Family History. He will ask question such as “Parish records, the census and then what for ordinary people?”

3rd June “Making sense of the Census” Anthea Lang
The census is one of the most valuable tools for any family historian, but it is also full of tiger-traps for the unwary. Anthea’s excellent talk will help you tread with care.

1st July “Tracing your History through Freemasonry” Steve Newman
Steve has recently had a 4-page article in the “Who Do you think you Are?” magazine, and we are delighted to welcome him to AFHS. to discuss this often-overlooked source of family information.

7th October “A photo (or item) that means a lot to me” -Member Discussion
Please everyone bring along something from one of your relatives that you can share with us. It can be small or large (but a piano may prove tricky).

4th November “Border Reiver Families” Andy Griffin
Andy is a speaker and writer on many aspects of local history. He will help us decide if these families who had a key role in local history were murderers or family men just earning a (dis)honest living

Happy New Year and looking forward to seeing you in March.
