1900 Census Lookup please. St. Martin or St. Landry Parish My Great Grandfather was known as Nichol Clause. He was born 21 Dec 1880 in Arnaudville, LA. I believe the surname, which was originally "CLOSE" had, by that time, changed to "CLAUSE". His full name may have been Joseph Nicholls/Nichol "Nichol" Close/Clause. He was born or was raised in Arnaudville, St. Landry Parish, LA His marriage license dated 29 Jan 1901 in St. Martin Parish shows him as Nicholls Clause of St. Martin Parish. He married Cecile Webre (Marie Cecile Webre) of St. Martin Parish. Nicholls Clause would have been about 19 or 20 years old in 1900. His father was Alexandre Close or Clause of Grand Coteau (later Arnaudville) and his step-mother was Marie Ozea Stelly. I believe Nicholls was raised by "Breaux" cousins. (Who were these Breaux cousins?) His half siblings were: Josephine Clause born (18 Sep 1884 in Arnaudville, LA) Fernando Clause born (14 Apr 1886 in Arnaudville, LA) Thereze Petronilla Clause born (1 Jun 1887 in Arnaudville, LA) Noe Clause born (7 Oct 1894 in Arnaudville, LA) Thank you for your help.
