After 1889 the family name changed to >Nicholls/Nichols You are 'muddying the water' with this ref to surname change info back in 1889 What family surname is on the grave ???????? . What gives you the suspicion he maybe have been in NSW in 1914 ??? You are abit short on clues and give none as to his possible age in 1914 Could he have been an early WW1 casualty ?
