Hi Eyore,

What other information are you hoping for?

The census and baptism records  that Lu has posted,may be all you can hope for.

Hi again

Can you tell us please, just what type of information you are wanting for William Nixon before he left England ?

[It seems a lot has been covered in the other thread to which you posted a message and where a descendant of his sister Ann Matilda, is willing to provide further information. ]

Welcome to RootsChat from me too, Eyeore  :) mare

No replies on that thread yet, but perhaps try sending a PM (personal message), to those who are offering further details of the family.
