Hi Craig

Good work with this thread.

On the MC, does John say his parents are William Nicholls, and Sarah Nicholls... no maiden name?!

Do you know when John arrived?!

For others out there John Nicholls bc1836.  Died Homebush, Victoria 1906.

Hi Craig, you have posted this in the wrong section.

You can ask the moderator to move it to the main Australia board where it may just get more notice from those who can assist you.

In what State did the marriage occur, VIC?

Craig, what are you looking for from the Australian side?

I would start by looking for John on the UK census’.

I can only see one baptism to fit age and Staffordshire, with parents William and Sarah, Dec 1835 and the surname is Nicholson.

Hi Craig

Could you try to decipher where John states he is born from his mc please?!  Do you think it may be Bishop Stortford?!?!  Trouble that the village is in Hertfordshire not Staffordshire but there is a John Nicholls b1831 there to the right parents.
