Hello! These are relations of mine on my mother's side. I'm sitting with a picture of Andrew Noble (I think!) and a copy of his obituary from circa 1943.

This photograph is hanging on the wall of my parents home in Johannesburg, South Africa. My grandfather, JGM Noble - also known as George is the young man standing at the back left next to his older brother William, back right. My grandfather died in Johannesburg in 1968 at the age of 60. The two little girls are Peggy and Elspeth. Peggy lived her whole life in Avoch and died in the 1990's. Sadly, Elspeth died in infancy. The youngest boy is Andrew. Please contact me if any more photographs of the family are found - I would love to add them to my collection.
