hi
its a bit of a strange one this as I have John on a number of census's I know the date of birth off the grave stone, I have located him on the following census's although his occupation has changed from "Mariner" to "storekeeper at steelworks" . This is stopping me going any further and is frustrating
he was married in 1839, to Jane in Workington, I have cert and a copy of church record and according to this his father was a John as well, and this is signed NICHOLLS, everything else says Nichols, but was it him who signed it??
Ancestry uk census states lived in Workington in 1871
In 1881 he lived in Workington aged 65, place of birth Southampton
In 1901 workington aged 85, retired sailor but this would have been filled in by head of household probally why says sailor not Mariner
His death cert in 1904 says mariner (merchant service) but also says name John William Dove Nichols died workington
His son my Gt grandfathers marriage cert says father was mariner
The problem is before 1839, I have assumed that if he was a mariner born in Portsea or Southampton he has probally been on a ship up at Workington and met his future wife here. I have no idea where to start with the Hampshire end, and travelling the 600 mile round trip is a non runner unless I get a lead to follow.
If anyone can help I would gladly return the favour and do some digging about up here in Whitehaven, Cumberland (Cumbria)

I appreciate that what you are looking for is his birth or christening record, but meanwhile I have found him on the 1891 if you dont have it already. John Nichol age 73, retired mariner, born southampton, with wife jane aged 72, born workington, living at 3 north watts street workington.

Hi,
I'm a year out of date on this one.
My gt. grandfather was also one of John Nichol's sons.
You seem to have more information than me.
Do you know anything about Jane Adamson's family. (John Nichol's wife?

Hi,
I have gleaned a bit about Jane from searching the IGI.
Like you I'm somewhat tied up at the moment.
It would seem that we are third cousins from part of the family I knew little about until last year!
I live in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, south west Wales.
We must exchange information.
Sheila
