Hi Peter... You have just provided a gem ....thank you so much! William Hodges Nicholls was of course a confectioner - we have from the 1841 census in Kenwyn where he was living with his wife and children; 1851 he is missing; 1861 he is boarding in the area - while his wife Jane nee Rundle was living with their daughter Jane, wife of George May - no reference to her thereafter, which suggests she died...and George and Jane May emigrated to Australia in 1869 on the Cadduceus [along with Thomas Odgers Nicholls and his wife Mary Courtis Searle]; 1871 William is boarding [possibly with his sister and her husband] in Truro, and died soon after. I would be so grateful for a reference to the 1851 census / or even a copy if you have it.... I did find WHN listed in the Birmingham Trade Directory as a confectioner 1855 Section B Page 430...seems that Mr N and Mrs N may have been separated....
