William Nicholson, Blythe

[heywood]

Abraham and Ann (various spellings0 are the same in 18851 and in 1841 have two elderly Barthorp gents with them.

Interestingly:

1841 HO107 piece 851 book 11 folio 7 pg 6
East St East Retford

William Nicholson 55 yrs labourer
Sarah Nicholson 85 yrs

wonder if this is Edward's mother Sarah and if Ann, William and Edward are siblings?

1851
William is in same place with daughter Charlotte Bell and her husband and family. (1871 has a young Harriet Bell as a niece)

I have just joined Rootschat and noticed this conversation. I believe the William Nicholson you have been discussing is a distant relation of mine. I have not checked all of the detail in this conversation against my records but I have come to the same conclusion for a good deal of it.

My Great Great Great Grandfather was Edward Nicholson (b1794). My Great Great Grandfather was Abraham Nicholson (b1842) - Abraham was the offspring of Edward and Frances Fisher whilst William was the offspring of Edward and Elizabeth Battersby.

However I did not have any information for William Nicholson (b1830) other than his birth. Thanks you that.

By the way my tree is on Genes Reunited if you want to check it out. It may go a generation or two further back than detailed in this conversation.

Hi Roy,

And welcome to Rootschat. I hope you find the community here as friendly and helpful as I have done.

You may want to check my web pages and search for Ernest Nicholson, my g grandfather, then follow back his ancestry. I would be delighted to help if I can, and of course, to hear if you have anything new to add.

Start by looking here www.mosleyfamilies.net

Happy new year
Martin
