Place Name?

[Daft Bat]

My friend Tim has been in contact again and has a place name on the back of a couple of silhouettes that he is unable to read:




We have no idea where this might be - somewhere in Britain, though.

Can those eagle eyes out there help in any way please?

Thank you.

 

[kernowmaid]

Oh my goodness!!
All I can see is:
i) They're both the same
ii) The surname is NOBLE
as for the address ...

could be something beginning with D.... St for Street /or Rd for Road?

Jane

 

[Londoner]

Is there any Welsh connection? It could be Velindre.

 

[MollyMay]

? (first name Isaac?) Noble

Delin St 1825

not convinced though

 

[AnnB]

I think the name is Jas. Noble, still working on the rest, but don't hold your breath

 

[janetbooth]

I agree with Ann about it being Jas NOBLE. Could the street be Delia St - there is a Delia Street in Wandsworth London??

Janet

Funnily enough, I have been researching a family who lived in Delia Street in the later 1800's and I did wonder the same, but it didn't seem to be the sort of street which would have housed anyone who would have had a silhouette made, unless it went downhill by the time the family I have been researching moved in

I'm seeing it as something like Delineated (abbreviated) - a bit clearer in the first one than the second. If it is that, it tells you more about the artist than the subject.

Yes, I had come to that conclusion over his name as well.

 

[AnnB]

That makes perfect sense Arthur - I did wonder if the latter part was an abbreviation, such as Ltd..... but there is no middle 't', so that idea went out the window

Arthur - that makes a lot of sense.
Delineated definition: to describe, portray, or set forth with accuracy or in detail

A silhouette artist by the name of James Noble and the silhouettes were drawn/created (delineated) in 1825

Thank you all! You have come up trumps as usual!

 

[Bay Horse]

Bit late to the party, but I'd go with delineated. A term I often used to see used in old deeds when referring to plans.

 

[AnnB]

What we need to know now is who was James Noble? Looking in the papers for notable Nobles (James/Jas/J.) brings forth multiple candidates from all corners of the UK.......

Just re-read this - I was assuming (dangerous) that it was a portrayal of a James Noble ......

Tim had not heard of a silhouette artist by that name either - and he is a bit of an expert in the field! I have passed the details on to him...

What you wrote still makes sense, though. Which of the many James Nobles was a silhouette artist? And since I squashed the idea of it being a place, we don't even have that to go on.

 

[Daft Bat]

Tim says a HUGE thank you to you all

 

[Daft Bat]

Tim's on it - like a dog wi' a bone! Scouring his many books on the subject. If/when he finds out, I will let you all know.

Well, there is this marriage notice in the Carlisle Patriot of the 27th January 1821.
At Bowness, Windemere on the 19th inst. Mr James Noble, painter, to Miss Mary Johnstone, both of Ambleside.

Have to do other things for a while, but I'll take another look later on

Ooh, I saw him on the 1841 census when I was trying to find a place that looked like Delin St. With wife Mary and a range of children in Kendal
He is still a painter in 1841
