2 A. Fogy across the pond's nub, mysterious stranger lifted from Barnaby Rudge novel (9) ??a?be?r?

There is a superfluous word in the clue. Thanks for any help.

cranberry?

Blaeberry also fits.
I' can't see the wordplay though so it's probably wrong

Thanks,factor30 - I came up with those, and a couple of other words, but none fitted the clue.

[Calibax]

Graybeard - anagram of Barnaby Rudge minus nub.
Across the pond indicates American spelling

[slaney]

Graybeard - anagram (novel) of Barnaby Rudge without nub (lifted from)
Stranger is the extra word
Graybeard American for greybeard - fogy

Thanks, both of you.
