Thank you Karen, that is most helpful.
Please would you be kind enough to look on the 1871 census for William's father and sisters?
1861 Census they were at Red Lion Public House White Chapel North, Middlesex.
William Nicholls Head Wid Carpenter Devon
Ann Matilda Nicholls Dau unmarr 20 Dressmaker Devon Potren
Elizabeth Nicholls Dau unmarr 18 Middlesex Limehouse.
