Harry NOBLE ²

  General Notes:

Towards the end of his life he lived apart from his wife and family, his daughter Ella had wanted a place for the family that wasn't a pub. When she and her sister Nora bought one they excluded their father who had to go and live on his own. Harry used to get his main meal from another daughter, Agnes, who lived nearby (from Muriel Wright, Agnes' daughter). He died quite suddenly during the night for neighbours had been concerned that he had not opened the curtains and neither had he come for his midday meal.
Harry was a professional cricketer for Stockport Cricket Club and played for Cheshire County Cricket Club eight times in 1893; his best performances seem to have been as a bowler. His son, Ivor, was also a very promising cricketer who was coached by his father with a view to playing for Yorkshire. However, Harry had forgotten that Ivor was born in Cheshire and therefore ineligible!
