Recently found this and looks like Charles or "Charlie" had a kid Barbara Evans to Annie Hibbett in Queensland.

Do you any references for this information? Birth certificate numbers, newspaper articles, etc.
This help anyone else who might be searching for this family.

The Common Room / Re: Family connection to Russian Tsar's family - Help needed please
« on: Monday 12 May 25 10:24 BST (UK)  »
I have in my possession a book (serialised magazines) turned into a hard cover book. It was published around the early part of the 1900s (definitely pre WWI)

In the book is a serialised story of the Russian royal family. There is mention of the English governess Miss Eager. Then there are other mentions of the children's nurse. It looks to me like there were 2 different women caring for the children. The nurse wasn't named - perhaps she is of lower status than the governess. The Tsarina is Queen Victoria's granddaughter, so I think it's very possible that the nurse was English as well.

Hi, I was always told that I was born at the Mater Hospital, South Brisbane. Whilst researching my family tree, I discovered a newspaper (Telegraph) notice of my birth, listing the location as 'Women's Intermediate, Queensland'
Sadly, I left my research too late, and am unable to question any relative  further on any of this.

I hope this helps in some way.
What does your birth certificate say? My NSW birth certificate has the hospital listed under place of birth.

Back in the day, widows often took in boarders after their husband's death. It was a good way to earn an income.
Also, the front bedroom of houses was often the " best room" that was used for guests. So potential lodgers would know they were getting a nice room.

There used to be a thing called share farming, whereby the farmer leases the land for his farming enterprises.

I assume you have searched under the Anglised spelling of Nichols.

Also have you searched Trove for the daughter. Perhaps search just her first and middle names.

I have requested the research, but now I find it is only available in the Main Reading Room in Canberra, and I am not in Canberra!!! LOL!!

"Rookie Mistake" on my part!

Thanks Jennaya!

Sometimes ibrarians will look up a specific item for you if you are unable to visit in person. Or your local library can make the request on your behalf.
