Place Name?

[Daft Bat]

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

Thank you, but I am not convinced, though

I would have thought that, if creating silhouettes was his full time occupation, he would be recorded as an Artist, rather than Painter. I have seen the latter used more for a house painter.

I will ask Tim if he has any more clues.

Not sure if this the same James Noble. With wife Ann Kirby and on the back of her is a small family tree.
Could your James Noble be the subject rather than the artist?
I think the word is delinted. I have found a drawing on paper, (P Sandby delint 1751) ,with the word 'delint' and wondered if it was the type of paper or cotton used, but not too convinced of that. Its really hard to get a convincing answer to the use of that word, delint or delinted.
Delinted means fluff removed from cotton seed which could work if the 'paper' was cotton rather than wood pulp.
Now Im thinking delint or delinted means created.

I think that James Noble is the artist as his name is on the back of 3 different silhouettes but I will double check with Tim.

Edited to add:
Spoke to Tim and he says no. The 3 silhouettes are of mother, father and daughter.

I think the 1851 census of Ambleside eliminates the James NOBLE who married Mary JOHNSTONE. As you suspected Jan, on this census he is described as a Painter & Glazier. Still searching for a James NOBLE, Silhouette Artist, though.
