Hi to you David, I too am looking for NICHOLLS in Kenwyn,Cornwall as we don't know much about them either. My childrens Great Grandfather was Thomas Odgers NICHOLLS born kenwyn ,1840 came to Australia in 1870 to Melbourne. Thomas married Mary Courtis SEARLE in 1869 His parents were William NICHOLLS a confectioner and Elizabeth Randell? You gave me a start when I saw you name as that is ,my Grandson's as well. Wishing you all the best for your seach David. Have a nice day .
