Hi there. I should be very interested to see what you know about Louise as she is the poor girl who married my ancestor. What happened to her after the divorce. Did she re-marry.

Many thanks
Alan

This is very interesting. The 1861 census has John Nicholson as the head of Ewanrigg Hall. His daughter was Louisa Jane who had the great misfortune of meeting and marrying one of my ancestors, Leonard Chambers Collins. He treated her very badly, conned her out of her inheritance and left the family destitute. They were divorced and he died in a Wormwood Scrubs prison where he was serving 10 years hard labour. John Nicholson wa the proprietor of a coal mine. They are not living there in 1871, I think by then he had died.

This does not help your search but it just shows that it is a small world.

John Nicholson died in 1866, The Louise Jane married another named
William Elliot Patterson but no dates for that yet(presume after Leonard). May i ask how or a link  to the Leonard info? Any thing else i find i will post it.

Wowza, Died a few months after marriage? Thanks for the info. Will find the records. She would be my 3rd great Aunty. Means my records are messed up as i have death in 1915 (i think). Would anyone know how to find the info on how the Nicholsons came to head the house. Could they of bought it or would it be through blood or marriage.

Are you on ancestry, if so you can look up Leonard Chambers Collins in my tree. There are two divorce cases to look at which are very interesting but quite sad. There is a bit more about him at the end of the thread regarding Reverend William Bookless.

What a poor girl. A wonderful start to her life then she meets and marries this monster. I was hoping that she did die in 1915, at least she would have had a happier end. To die the same year as her second marriage, not fair. Leonard contracted syphillis, no doubt he gave this to Louisa which may then have been the cause of her demise.

Yes i am on ancestory UK. I just searched and found one link to a Whole family tree. But the info on their is just a few records and nothing else. Dont know if thats your tree but would love to read any info you had on this. If you could send me a link here or in a p.m that would be great . Also as he is a distant ancestor of yours i will accept compensation via paypal  or bank transfer (joke).

Hi there, send me a Private Message with your email address and I shall send an invite to the tree. Payment is the satisfaction of thinking that you know more than someone else and can help them. However, the benefit of Rootschat is that you soon find that you know less than someone else and that they are wiling to help you.
