A search of the RootsIreland Baptismal/Birth index brings back a hit for Thomas Lewers Nicholl, a bit of educated guessing and trial and error on the index confirms the father as Thomas and the mother as Ann Jane Lewers. To see the actual content of the record is on a pay to view basis.

Playing around some more with the index brings back a marriage of Thomas Nickle to Jane Lewers in 1911, County Armagh, Armagh Church of Ireland parish. 

This is a possibility for her in 1911:

There are several possibilities for him, for example, here are two (I prefer the first on the given information):

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Armagh/Grange/Tullygarran/321310/

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Armagh/Clady/Clady_Beg/328171/

This looks like a possibility for him in 1901 ...

... and the RootIreland website index confirms the father of Thomas Nickle who married Jane Lewers in 1911 as Samuel.

This is the Samuel Nicholl census record for 1911 showing marriage to Maria for 24 years:

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Armagh/Ballymartin/Navan/325637/

The RootsIreland website index brings back a marriage of Samuel Nicholl to Maria Williamson in 1886, County Armagh, Eglish Church of Ireland parish.

Not sure if or how any of these bits fit in yet but just posting them before I forget ...

A Thomas Lewers married a Margaret Nicholl in 1881 in County Armagh, Tullyvallen Presbyterian.

The Margaret here may relate:

A Margaret Lewers married a John Farley in 1907 in County Armagh, this might relate:

Edited to add:  BTW there is an Ann Jane Lewers boarding in Liverpool in 1901:

... and courtesy of Freebmd, a birth for Ann Jane Lewers in Jan-Feb-Mar 1889, Lancashire (Reg. District West Derby, Volume 8b, page 296).

Is this the death of Thomas Lewers who married Margaret Nicholl?

The RootsIreland website index brings back a marriage of Samuel Nicholl to Maria Williamson in 1886, County Armagh, Eglish Church of Ireland parish.

Playing around with the RootsIreland index, both fathers are John (John Nicholl and John Williamson). Speculative territory now, but there was a Maria Williamson born in County Tyrone in 1866 to a John Williamson and Mary Anne Cowan (who married 1860, parish of Aghaloo), worth noting until you can rule in or out:

I'm going to hang fire now for I'm conscious that you first need to satisfy yourself that any of this has remotely to do with the "Thomas Robert Lewis (Louis) NICHOLL" of your original post, hopefully the information posted is sufficient to allow you to determine that, if it isn't relevant, at least you can eliminate it and try a different tack.

Thomas Henry NICHOLL & Ann Jane LEWERS had a son Thomas Robert Lewers NICHOLL,  there is an older brother so can someone please try and find him, I have had no luck,

The father died in 1919 and young Thomas was born two years before in 1917,

Thank You
