John Noble
John Noble was born in 1516 in Great Livermere, Suffolk, England. He was the son of Walter Noble (b 1490) and Unknown (b 1500). John Noble married Ann Nutt (b 1520) at Great Livermere on 29 September 1541. He farmed there.
John died in 1557 - buried in Great Livermere 7th of April, 1557. His Will was proved in 1557.
There is undocumented speculation (online) that John was killed in the English Civil War, in Warwickshire - but this seems unlikely (!), seeing as how the English Civil War did not start until 1642. Perhaps he was killed in some earlier intercine event in those turbulent times.
