[myluck!]

Horatio was born in 1893 to Robert NICHOLAS of Cornwall and Minnie CHIDGEY of Plymouth
They are shown on the 1901 census with Minnie's father in Plymouth
They are still in Plymouth in 1911

Looking for close family to Betram e.g. first cousins you can see the family were
Horatio/Harris 1893 - Aug 15 1945 - his father, will online implying mother still alive
Ivy died an infant
Leone died a child
Russell 1898-1943
Gordon b. Feb 03 1900 d Dec 1981 Liskeard Cornwall aged 81
Leone (2) 1903 - alive at 1911
Bob 1908-
Marion 1910-

There is a death for Blanche Eveline NICHOLAS DoB Mar 29 1895 in Tavistock, Cornwall in 1995
aged 99, Feb 1995 Reg 20b District 4191 Entry 257

Blanche is shown on the 1901 and 1911 census with her parents, sister and her brother in 1901
Her sister Ethel May never married and DoB Mar 11 1892died in Tavistock, Cornwall in 1984 Q2 V21 P2136

Her brother Ernest married and on the 1911 census is shown with three children who would have been Bertram's first cousins

Hi again Myluck,

    What an amount of information. Fantastic!!!!! We are coming closer to Sgt Nicholas relatives.

Regards and a BIG Thank you,
Adrian

Unfortunately, just to make it difficult, Ernest had 3 daughters!

The youngest Bernice Ellen Curtice was born in 1907. She married a Henry George CLARKE on 18th August 1931 in Plymouth. At the moment I can't find any children.

Olive the middle daughter married a man with quite a distinctive name! She died in 1986 and her husband in 1993 BUT they had a son and I've found an address as recent as 2014. I'll PM you with it.

Fantastic work groom

Adrian is doing a great service of remembrance

Glad to have been of assistance - it did help that Olive's husband wasn't called Smith and that they stayed in Plymouth.

I hope her son is still alive and knows about his relation.

Might be worth posting on http://oldmerthyr1.proboards.com/ - it's not as busy as Rootschat but does have some local experts.

I think though we've ruled out any connection with Wales for Bertram, apart from the fact his wife may have come from there.
