Dear Jane Moffitt I suspect there is no connection but I thought I should touch bases just in case. You were talking about John and Elizabeth Nicholls of Middlesex but did not mention a time frame. My Nicholls are from the Birmingham area and some of the names are similar. In my family, Benjamin Nicholls (b.1802) married Fanny Pearce in 1821 in Dudley. Among the 8 children that I know of there was a Mary Ann (b 1824), a Thomas (b. 1838) and an Elizabeth (b.1840). These are all common and probably not family names, but you never know. Lynda Kemp

Lynda, you don't have "William Godwin" or Giffard" Nicholls do you. Somewhat unusual! The latter is my gfather; William G his father; from Olton, Solihull (Brimgham). Giffard, with brothers Erskine (Ernie) and Stanley emigrated to New Zealand circa 1900. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lynda Kemp <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2000 3:49 PM Subject: [NICHOLLS] Nicholls of Middlesex > Dear Jane Moffitt > > I suspect there is no connection but I thought I should touch bases just > in case.
