Looks like...

William NICHOLLS married Sarah NICHOLLS at Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire 25 Dec1823.  Sarah possibly remarried a John BUSH prior to 1851.

Issue, all at Bishops Stortford.

Martha Ann. ch 1825
William. ch 1827
Sarah. ch 1829
John. ch 1832
Henry. ch 1834
Charles. ch 1836

John and Charles possibly in the Workhouse on the 1841 census.  Had their father already died by 1841?!

Yeeha bitza you put me on an emotional roller coaster it appears that Johns siblings you listed are  correct as matches occur in heritage matches i just loaded ....Johns birth dates all over the shop ...with who are you most directly related? THANKS Craig ...In addition found an old essex east london post 2007 in ancestry by sylviapitcher50  that adds more to your valuable info  confirming yours...re Sarah re marrying John Bush from Dunmow in Essex

Hi Craig

I'm glad its coming together for you.

I am related to the James NICHOLLS who drowned in the Avoca River.  He is no relation to you.  Your John's parents are William NICHOLLS and Sarah NICHOLLS which you discovered from the MC....

This Charles Edward PUGH / WALSH is interesting.  How many times was he married / coupled?!?!?!

Hi again in my confusion those attached to Charles Edward Pugh/Walsh are Ellen Laura Pugh Ballantyne St Clair......Elizabeth Ann Walsh Patterson Blyth....Eliza Pugh Dinighan .Maybe???
We may be indirectly related via Chapman Nicholls link...or my ex deceased was a Pritchard ...thanks Craig

Jamjar thanks for the assist especially the copy of the last will and testament printed up a treat please 
excuse my ettiquette i am all over the place ..hopefully get sorted thanks Craig

Craig,
The digitised document at the Victorian archives is not a will.
As previously stated, it is a series of documents in a file relating to the granting of probate in the estate of John NICHOLLS who died in 1906 without having made a will.

I trust you have read both the two available digitised records because contained in them is a detailed list of the children of your couple and their location at the time of application.  As well, their profession/occupation is sometimes stated .

After payment of a debt of 6 pounds, the estate of John NICHOLLS was worth 3 pounds.
The 6 pounds was a loan to pay the licence fee for the hotel.

Thanks very much your clarification as to the specifics of the probate documents in question and directing me to part 2 of the documents wich is very informative about jobs and location of family; I wish i had joined up 2 years ago would have saved a lot of time...Craig

Hi - Your John Nicholls 1831-1906 is the brother of my Great Great Grandfather on my mother's side. They were from Bishops Stortford.
John's Father William Nicholls and Sarah Shed.
John's siblings were Martha 1824-, William 1826-1898, Sarah 1829-1901, Henry 1833-, Charles 1836-1902.
Charles was born in April 1836 after father William died November 1835.

John's brother William 1826-1898 married Elizabeth May and had son William Henry Nicholls 1858, who married Elizabeth Grace Pearson. They had daughter Clara Annie Nicholls who married my Mother's father Ralph John Jordorson.

I have lots of information on my tree in Ancestry.uk but don't know how best to share this with you.
