Kate Nicholls - 1864
« on: Friday 23 May 14 20:20 BST (UK) »
Hello

I was wondering if someone could help in finding out about the parents and siblings of Kate Nicholls. She was born in 1864/1865 and married in 1882 in Neath to William Watkins. She came from Cornwall according to the 1911 census

I ask because I am currently without access to the records temporarily.

my thanks

A quick glance at 1881 (free to search) reveals more than one Kate Nicholls of approx the right age and born Cornwall - so we are going to have to go back one step at a time to trace the right one.

Where is Cornwall does she say she was born? IS this consistant on 1901/1891 censuses? Does she give a middle name on any of the censuses or at her marriage?
Better still, who does she name as father on her marriage?
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

This seems to be the family in 1891

Cubbs Row, Neath
William Watkins 33 coal miner bn Neath
Kate 26 bn Cornwall
David 8
John N 6
William 4
James 2    all bn Neath


(John's birth reg indicates he is John Nicholls Watkins)

1901 has LOTS more children, and Kate is down as Catherine and  says bn Redruth - so that is a help
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex
