Surnames: Nicholls Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://63.92.86.187/mbexec/msg/an/GE3.2ACEB/202 Message Board Post: Has anybody come across a William Nicholls born approx 1842/43 supposedly in Brighton, Sussex. I have found him on the 1851 census with his 4 siblings. Father shown as William Nicholls and Mother as Mary Anne Nicholls. All children shown as being born in Brighton but no birth entry for any of the children from 1837 to 1847. Still down as being born in Brighton on the 1881 census where he is shown married with children also born Brighton.
