Title: Mary Ann Nickolls mother
Post by: LenVin on Sunday 06 March 11 17:10 GMT (UK)
I am trying to find the mother of Mary Ann Nickolls born Iffley Oxford 5 Oct 1861.
Her Father was William Nickolls born Baldon Oxford 29 Jul 1826 I would appreciate if you could find a date for his marriage. I also believe that his wife died and he remarried a Polley Elizabeth? As she appears on the 1881 and 1891 census as his wife.
Any help would be appreciated

The best possible way to find out her name is to order the birth cert and hope thats its on it:

Could this be it on free BmD site?? (www.freebmd.org.uk)

Dec Births 1861

William bn Baldon age 26 occ Butcher
Mary Ann wife bn Iffley, Oxfordshire
Ann S dtr age 8 mths bn Iffley

Hi Norma
Welcome to the wonderful world of RootsChat.

Nice to hear from you. My wifes G Grandmother was Mary Ann Nickolls who married William Henry Naylor 13 years her junior in 1898 in Oxford.

A Granddaughter of this marriage (still living) remembers as a child visiting her Great Aunt Rhoda in Thame.
If you reply to this post I can then send you a PM which is not seen by others

Best wishes
Len
