Noble English (c. 1797-1872)
After emigrating from the U.S. to Upper Canada, Noble English married Elizabeth Forsyth. The first of the pioneer couple's 13 children, Robert, was born in 1818. In 1819, Noble obtained a land grant of 100 acres from Col. Thomas Talbot and cleared and farmed the land. The English homestead was built on the north side of the Governor's Road (now Dundas Street). With the purchase of an additional 100 acres of land in 1837, Noble's property was now extended from Dundas north to Central Avenue and from Adelaide Street East to Woodman Avenue. In the mid-1850s he sold some land to Murray Anderson when London began to expand eastward. Noble and Elizabeth were staunch Methodists. Two sons, Wesley and Egerton Ryerson, were named after prominent Methodists; two others, Noble Franklin and John, became ministers. In 1883, a grandson, Rev. Edward, an ordained Anglican priest, became the principal of Hellmuth Ladies' College, London's private school for the higher education of young women.
Elizabeth died in 1864. Noble died in 1872, survived by six children and his second wife Eleanore. Later that year, Samuel Peters Jr. surveyed and subdivided his remaining property into building lots. English Street still bears the /// family name. Elizabeth Street was named after Noble's wife. Elias street was named for a son, just as were Timothy Street (now Lorne Avenue), Franklin Street (now Dufferin Avenue) and Lyman Street (now Princess Avenue).
