Noel was born on the 8 Dec 1904 at Chalgrove, Waianakarua. He remained in Waianakarua as a labourer until well after his marriage to Charlotte “Lottie” Jane Davis on the 10 Dec 1929 at Hampden, Otago.
Fleming and Lottie remained in Waianakarua throughout their lives. At one point, Noel turned his attention to Poultry farming, but that appears to have been short-lived.
Towards the end of his life, the couple moved to London Street in Hampden to live.
Noel passed away on the 16 Apr 1969 at Waianakarua. He is buried in Hampden Cemetery.
Lottie passed away on the 21 August 2007 aged 100 years. She is buried alongside her husband at Hampden Cemetery.
