Hello everyone New to this list and born a Nicholls. Family originally from Wiltshire under the heading of Nicholas but Nicholls from 1890s on in Somerset. Family lore has it our twig fell out with the other branches and broke away (grin) hence the name change. Interested in any information on Nicholls name in Taunton, Somerset, UK from 1890+ Browsing your list archive I noticed someone was looking at the name in Birmingham, UK. Have information on a William Nicholls, Jeweller from there born c. 1841 and his descendants in Australia if anyone is looking for him in particular. Best wishes to you all, Eileen
