Who was Elsie Nichols ? Bridesmaid in 1907

[Jennaya]

There is a death registered in NSW in 1955 for a Elsie Giles with a birth year of c 1884. Not to discount the finds of the Singer Elsie Nichols that Majm has come across. Just another follow up?

I drilled down and got a death date of 13/08/1955

Birth reg 23209 of 1885,  Helsey M Nichols,  mother Annie A,  father not stated,  district Cassilis.

I drilled down and got an event date of 30/11/1884. So this Helsey was born 1884, and birth registered 1885.

Could this be Elsie marrying in Queensland in 1920?

B24685 Elsie NICHOLLS married Victor GILES.

SMH  death notice for GILES, Elsie Jane died Aug 13, 1955. Relict of the late Frank GILES.
so probably not the one marrying in Qld

I cannot find likely death for Madame Elsie .... perhaps I am not looking carefully enough, but she seems to vanish.   I phoned the daughter of my original violin teacher (who was known to all her students as "Madame ......") and asked her if she was aware of any way I could search out for other musical disciplines and their "Madame" teachers....   She will look through her Mum's scrapbooks over this long weekend and let me know if there's any lists/names of local (NSW) societies etc.    My "Madame" 's qualifications / certificates etc are framed and in the hands of other family members, but the details are also in those scrapbooks.   

I explained it could all be for a 'wild goose chase', and wasting her valuable time, but she replied "I will enjoy re-living my mother's memories"   

Fingers crossed, that there's the remote possibility that I am on track on this one.... so often I am way off the mark. 

Cheers,  JM

Majm, the word is chorist, or chorister.

[majm]

Agh, well now you have posted those two words,  well of course I remember.... now why could I not remember that last night....     Chorister !   Chorist   

Many thanks Pine,  you have rescued my grey cells.

Right,

Now, who was Miss E NICHOLLS, secretary of the Grattai Tennis Club in Sept 1916

(The Ad reads …… please return same, immediately to where they took them from.   If they fail to do this, a meeting of the members of the Club will be called and the guilty party will be severely dealt with. )
Miss E NICHOLLS, Secretary  (JM notes this Miss had two “l” in her surname, and possibly was a schoolie, cause she knew how to threaten to deal out punishment  ! ! ! despite her grammar )

Or who was Miss E NICHOLS winning some Needle and Fancy Work prizes at the Manildra Show ….
