respect to unfairness, there were likely some other ways
in which the deck was stacked against him. He and his wife were both Roman
Catholic, a faith that still meant exclusion from some social circles. There is
also the question I raised earlier, about whether he may have been of both
British as well as Indian ancestry. I don’t want to make too much of this, after
all, it may be nothing more than a clerical error. If there is more to it than
that, then the description of his appearance may have some bearing: G.E. Noble was a fairly big heavily built
man of dark complexion with a thick mustache. Further research may prove
that he was born in Camberwell or Dulwich, with a mother named Mary Anne who
was born in Lambeth in 1807. Iton the life of Sir Thomas Jackson. He was the son of tenant farmers, born just before the Famine in South Armagh, who was knighted because he not only lead HSBC into the 20th Century, but was also responsible for assisting with the funding of much of the economic development in China & Japan in the late 1800s.
