I believe that Violet Nicholls/née Aston adopted Violet and then married our great grandfather James Ridley Nicholls. A Violet Florence Aston was born to a couple related to Violet Nicholls. Same birth date same name living in Footscray. How this came to be I don't know. The parents were Violet's brother and his wife. Baby Nicholls died in childbirth aged 42. My mother was one of the children aged 9 Nancy Noel Williams. But no children were born to Violet and James Ridley Nicholls.
