Nicholson Lookup

[kelz29]

Hi all, im looking for some help with my 2nd Great Grandfather, heres what i have......

John Nicholson b.1833 in Wighill, Yorkshire.

m. Sarah Eliza Hall (aged 19) in 1873 (lists his father as James Nicholson)

John and Sarah went on to have 13 children.

But that is all i have, i cant find anything on John Nicholson's birth and i cant find him on the 1841, 51, 61 or 71 census. I have no idea who his mother was either!?

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi
There's a family tree with him on.  No mother but father given as James Penman Nicholson 1808-1869 so there's a name to look for on census to see if he could be yours.

There is a wife for James P Elizabeth Berwick but I assume she wasn't his mother 
Children are listed from the marriage starting 1835 and all Northumberland so really don't know if he was father before he married.  No marriage date given.

I have found the banns of their marriage as
John Nicholson of Huntingore ?  and Sarah Elija Hall  published at Kirk Deighton All Saints on the 20th July  ,27th July and again on the 3 August 1873.

 Christening Place: WIGHILL,YORK,ENGLAND

I have been looking at the chap in 1861 and 1871 married to Sarah.

1861 born Wickhill Park 1826 living Easingwold
1871 born Wickd Park 1826 living in Greatham, Durham

I can't see the family in 1881

He's a Gardener in 1871

Is he the 1831 John b Wickhill with wife Sarah, in 1881?

This looks like John Nicholson born Wighill and living in Rothwell, with his parents in 1851 :

HO107/2316, Folio 383, Page 21

When searching it's best not to include his year of birth.

Kind regards,
