A search for Jonas NICHOLLS in the BVRI II yielded nothing. :-( Where have you looked? Have you searched the IGI, FreeBMD, and the various censuses available? There is also a NICHOLLS list for UK research: [email protected] Try posting to that list.

Forwarded with permission. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: FFHS-NEWS News for researchers in Scotland Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2002 13:38:48 +0100 From: "Geoff Riggs, FFHS Webmaster" <[email protected]> To: "FFHS-NEWS" <[email protected]> GENERAL REGISTER OFFICE (SCOTLAND) - "SCOTLANDSPEOPLE" The General Register Office for Scotland's contract with Origins.Net for the ScotsOrigins service expired on 31st August. The GRO(S) has instead contracted with Scotland On Line to create a new "ScotlandsPeople" service, as "the official online source of parish register, civil registration and census records for Scotland." The new website at http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ states: "Containing almost 37 million names, the ScotlandsPeople database is one of the world's largest resources of genealogical information and one of the largest single information resources on the Web. We provide a fully searchable index of Scottish births from 1553-1901, marriages from 1553 to 1926 and deaths from 1855 to 1951. In addition, indexed census data is available from 1891 to 1901. To respect privacy of living people, internet access has been limited to birth records over 100 years old, marriage records over 75 years, and death records over 50 years. >From the results of an index search made on this site you may view, save and print images of many of the original documents, and order extracts of any register entries of interest. Such requests are forwarded automatically to New Register House, and the requested extracts are mailed to you (airmail in the case of overseas orders)." The 'What's in the Database' page reveals that images are available for births (1856-1901) and deaths (1855-1951) and for the 1891 and 1901 censuses. It also shows plans to extend the database to include the earlier censuses as well. You will find that ScotsOrigins still has a web-site at www.scotsorigins.com/ This now offers - a Sighting Service to "order detailed birth, marriage and death information from Old Parish Registers and Statutory Registers, and from 1861 & 1871 censuses." at a cost of £8 each if you provide full details; - a free search of IGI records (provided you enter the full name of the person concerned), that can be parish by parish; - a Place Name Search for places by County and Parish based on the 1881 census. If you had previously registered as a Scots Origins user, you can still access your previously viewed records including images. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KATHLEEN CORY Those of you with a keen interest in Scottish research may not be aware that Kathleen Cory has died of a heart attack at the age of 78. Jill Muir, of Oxfordshire FHS, has advised us that Kathleen's obituary appeared in the Scotsman last week "... Her book, Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry, which was published 11 years ago, will be seen as her lasting legacy. The work, which she was revising and updating for a third time when she died ... has been described as the first and best "DIY guide" for amateur sleuths seeking to trace family histories through official Scottish records...."

I am completely new to the subject of genealogical research so I hope that I can be excused for any errors made in the following, relating to my search for relatives and ancestors of my father John Leonard Nicholls. He was born in Cornbury Street, Southwark, London (which before being closed in 1947 was on the west side of the Old Kent Road), about 1900-1901. Four dates of birth have been offered:- (i)16 October 1900: (ii)16 October 1901: and (iii)17 October 1901. I have today written for his birth certificate and believe it will show (iv) although I suspect (i) is the true and correct date. I have been told that his own father HARRY never registered the birth of his children within the required legal time and so when he did register them, he supplied a later date than the actual one for the birth dates of all of his children, who were: born between (about) 1895 and 1910. (1)JOHN LEONARD (2)CARRIE (3)MARY ANNE (4)HARRY (5)JANE (6)ADA (7)EDWARD/TEDDY (8)WILLIAM/BILLY (9)GEORGE (10)HAZEL My father's mother CAROLINE (Nee Banks) died in about 1910 while giving birth to her eleventh child who also died, whereupon the children, including my father JOHN LEONARD lived for some time by eating food left in the street by the market traders as the father HARRY could not control them after the death of the mother. The family saying was that 'the children made mud pies in his Oxford boater' suggesting that the father HARRY was a Oxford graduate and unable to deal with wayward children who were now little more than waifs. My father JOHN LEONARD and his younger brother BILLY (WILLIAM) (born 24 October 1902) were committed at Tower Bridge Court in London on 20 September 1910 under the Protection of Childrens' Act ('children found wandering and not having any settled place of abode or visible means of subsistence...'). They were on the same day placed in the 'Home for Destitute Boys Not Convicted of Crime' at the corner of Regent's Park Road and King Henry's Road in Camden Town, London, NW1 (The Home was a 'certified industrial school' and closed in 1920, but the building was still there when I visited it in the 1980s). As far as I am aware all the other children were also placed in childrens' homes. JANE was in the same home as Charlie Chaplin. HARRY, who was the oldest or one of the oldest children, may have escaped being taken into a home as I understand he worked as a miner in Wales for a short time before joining the army and going to India. On 11 January 1916 my father JOHN LEONARD was placed in the British Army as a 'band boy' and after some time went to serve in India where his older brother HARRY was already serving. BILLY was also placed in the British Army as a band boy on 10 May 1917. My father's older brother HARRY married while in India and had three sons - HARRY, LLEWELLYN and another whose name I do not know. HARRY divorced and then married KITTY on returning to England and lived in Hereford until he died during the 1970s. I do not know for how long my father was stationed in India but I suspect only until about 1930 as his driving licence shows the following places - in England - where he lived. 1931-32. 71st Field Battery, Royal Artillery, Larkhill, Wiltshire. 1935-36. Drill Hall, Pentre, Glamorgan, Wales. 1938. 40 Field Battery, Royal Artillery, Bulford, Wiltshire. 1939. 409th A.A. Battery, Royal Artillery, Aerodrome Office, Marham, Norfolk. He was injured while serving (as a Lieutenant) and was invalided out of the services in 1942. From about the early 1940s, my father lived in Nottingham and possibly Birmingham, and then, according to his driving licence, he was at Bulford again in 1947 and the address was something like 'Altonbury Road'. He then moved to South-East London and married. My father's brother HARRY died during the 1960s (in Hereford). His brother BILLY, an accomplished musician who played the trumpet outside Victoria railway station in London as a 'busker' for some years, died on 9 April 1973: he was buried in a public (pauper's) grave in Southwark, South London. He lived in North London at the time. My father's sisters ADA, MARY ANN ('NAN') and JANE died during the late 1970s-early 1980s. My father died in 1978. The problem is that my father never mentioned anything about his family or life before 1950 and all of the above I have put together from scraps of information that I have been able to ascertain. I believe that some of the places of residence listed above are related to his family. If anyone recognises any of the people in the above, and has information about their own families and ancestry, I would be very grateful to hear from them. Thank you. D. J. Nicholls (Dr) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Everything you'll ever need on one web page from News and Sport to Email and Music Charts http://uk.my.yahoo.com

Hi, I'm researching my gg-grandparents: ASA NICHOLS born Oct 1828, Surry County, NC who married MARTHA HEAD in Yadkin County, N.C in Dec 1851/1852. Martha was born in May 1829, Surry County, NC. Asa Nichols and his family moved from Yadkin County in the late 1860's to Grayson County, Old Town District, Virginia where he was a farm laborer and Shoemaker. Asa and Martha had nine children: William H. Cornelia A. (Amelia) Charlie I (my Great-grandfather who married Clerisey Brooks of NC) Frances Ann (married twice....John R. Grubb & Henry Williams) Lydia C. Asay Mc Issac G. Jesse Martha J. The biggest block wall for me is to: 1. Confirm the parents of Asa Nichols 2. Any information on the deaths of Asa & Martha Nichols. Note: My Grandmother, Carrie Belle (Nichols) Shupe had written down the dates of 1908 for Asa and 1910 for Martha's passing, but need confirmation of this and where buried. NOTE: Have found different spelling for ASA= ASAPH/ASAY/ and different spellings of Nichols as noted in above Subject. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you, Nancy Ann Faulkner [email protected]

Seeking information please on Richard James Nicholls who married Edith Hastings Wass 1896 Orange, New South Wales, Australia Any information please forward to Bob Tuxford [email protected] or TUXFORD-L

Hello All! I have recieved a copy of my elusive great grandmothers marriage register. It has given me a witness for the marriage of John Kirby and Victoria Nichol on April 4, 1900 in Holstien Twp. The witness appears to be a relative of Victoria's, who's name is "Anna Nichol". I would very much appreciate a look up done for her in the 1901 census (or any other for that matter!). I would appreciate knowing any other names shown with hers as well. Boy these Nichols are a hard bunch to track down!!! Thank you in advance!

Hello All. I have found some new information on my family and thought that I might set out on another 'fishing trip'. My great grandmother, Victoria Amy Nichol's parents were Thomas Nicholls, born ca 1821 in Devonshire, England, and Sarah Ann Bell, born ca 1844, Minto, Ontario. I am looking for confirmation of Thomas Nicholls parents. I believe that they MAY be Thomas Nicholls, born ca 1786, Devonshire and Margaret Harris, born ca 1790 Devonshire. Any information on these families would be greatly appreciated. I have also found some wonderful new "cousins" since I have begun to do this and I would be thrilled to meet any other family members!!!! Thank you, Sheila _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
