Biography

Attended Kentville High School

William Noble suffered from Addison's disease.

Robert Burns Davis - son of Marion Burns / William Noble Davis(not married) - proven conclusively by DNA. Delayed birth Certificate provides his mother's name as Ethyl Sulham.

He died at the age of 41. His son, Robert Burns Davis was three years old at the time and had been fostered with a different family for a time (not Sulham-but possibly Burns relations?). He was buried at Pine Grove Cemetery in the Poplar Lawn section.
