Annie NICHOLLS 1871 census
« on: Friday 10 August 07 11:44 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone would mind looking up 'Annie Nicholls' for me on the 1871 census. Unfortunately it was a very common name at the time and I have very little information about her early life.  I know she was born around 1864 (so would be around 7 on the 1871 census) and her birthplace is listed as 'Amesbury' on the 1901 census (by which time she's living in another county).
Many thanks for any help.

Just looking at that interesting PoB - Stratford Sub Castle was in the Alderbury Regn District until 1895, then Salisbury - should you wish to search out a Birth Entry

Thanks very much Tati  :). The high number of 'Nicholls' spread around the country does not make for easy reasearch!

Many thanks again!
