I'm trying to find details of William Nicholson, born about 1826, Sheffield in 1841 census.
Might give me his parent's names.
Thanks.

Hi,
This one seems the nearest to your request :
1841 census:
HO107/1338/3, Folio 47, Page 16
Yorkshire, Sheffield
Lee Croft
Hannah Nicholson, 44
Walter Deakin, 20, Cutler
Willm Nicholson, 15, Cutler
Willm Jennings, 18
Mary Nicholson, 17
All born in county, still trying to decipher the last two occupations ?? 
Kind regards,
Pels.

I don't have much. His mother was mentioned once on William's 1861 or 1871 census as Martha. I haven't found her yet.

How old was Martha was on the census, it helps to give as much information as possible, even if you think it's immaterial. Sometimes the smallest amount can help us find them.
Nicholson was and still is, a fairly common name in Yorkshire !!

Only have one mention of Martha from calmar on 16th September.
1871 census Sheffied, William Nicholson, 45...
It says on the record that William's mother is Martha but she's not shown as living with them.

Hi Darren,
This is getting more confusing, it only says on the index Martha was living with them, I think you've been misinformed !!
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,406528.0.html
I've put a link to the thread you referred to for reference.
According to the actual census return, the Martha the index referred to was only 3 years older than William, unmarried and living next door, no relation whatsoever as far as I can see.
Will come back to this later, if someone else hasn't hopefully already sorted it out for you.
Kindest regards,
Pels.

Thankyou Jennifer !!
I'm not quite sure where to post this now, but while I was looking I came across the 1851, if you already have it there isn't anything lost.
1851 census:
HO107/2339, Folio 185, Page 65
Yorkshire, Sheffield
Snow Lane, 49
Elizabeth Blake, h, wid, 65, b. Yorks, Pontefract
William Nicholson, son in law, mar, 25, Table K Cutler, b. Sheffield
Jane, dau, mar, 21, b. Rotherham
Frederick, grandson, 4, b. Sheffield
Kind regards,
Pels.

That would definitely be the best idea Jennifer, I've exhausted the 1841 trying to find a pattern of names that might fit in with those of William's children ??
Hopefully if the certificate is purchased, Darren would be kind enough to put us out of our misery and tell us who it was !!
