George Nicholls

[NevilleTB]

I misled you sorry. I did have the bdm records. Rushing this morning as I have to go out soon.
Some key details I have are:

Married - 239/1855 https://www.ancestrylibrary.com.au/imageviewer/collections/61177/images/45578_dar%5Eco18471895-00069?treeid=&personid=&hintid=&queryId=95bbe512955059170b2332d627d8d6da&usePUB=true&_phsrc=CRk1542&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&pId=900131212

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/13153517?searchTerm=james%20pearsall

2605/1874  James death 2605/1874

Children
•   Sarah A Pearsall (1856-1857)
•   Alice Pearsall (1856-)
•   Lily Phoebe Pearsall (1859-1923)
•   Arthur James Pearsall (1860-1930)
•   Sidney Charles Pearsall (1862-1933)
•   Sarah Sophie Pearsall (1865-1866)

Hopefully this will give access to the full document. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jpe5um326f6emo7/JamesPearsallAndSarahNicholls.pdf?dl=0]www.dropbox.com/s/jpe5um326f6emo7/JamesPearsallAndSarahNicholls.pdf?dl=0]https://www.dropbox.com/s/jpe5um326f6emo7/JamesPearsallAndSarahNicholls.pdf?dl=0

So, by obtaining an official transcription of the NSW BDM birth cert for any of Sarah's children you should learn what is recorded about where she was born  and her age when that baby was born, as mentioned by Debra and Neale has given excellent info for you  - the ref numbers from NSW bdm index, you will need them for ordering.

Does Ancestry still give you any discount for ordering an official transcription .... otherwise there's their contact details at NSW bdm and at  RChats NSW resources board.

As you have indicated you have the 1855 marriage info I won't need to type it up.

The information you have in your dropbox file, includes only the indexing of records from NSW BMD – no actual documents.

There are several convicts around at the right time in NSW named George Nichol / Nicholls, and by looking at each of them you may be able to gradually eliminate some.

As Sarah seems illiterate at marriage (signs with a X) you could probably eliminate the George Robert Nichols who is in Sydney and in the newspapers quite often.

[NevilleTB]

I have spent a few hours on this and come up with a list of potential candidates. If you are interested you can see them at https://www.dropbox.com/s/7k22e3mkbvz7brf/GeorgeNichols.pdf?dl=0

Having said that, I can find no link between their convict records and muster/census records and any marriage/birth records. I suspect I know who the father was. A convict who arrived on the Asia 2, but there is no link I can uncover. I cannot find any record of a marriage or wife. I cannot find any links to children.

I think this one has me beat.

Just an observation...

I am not sure why you prefer using a drop box. 

Surely all the people from George NICHOLLS era  have been dead for many many decades or more. 

RChat has been around for almost 20 years.  Plenty of threads are reactivated because a person googles a name and lands on an old thread,  joins, posts and shares info. 

A list of names on a document in a drop box does not seem to me to give yourself the opportunity to have contact with genuine  family history buffs who are seeking contact with genuine people like yourself.  Thats one of the fantastic aspects of the grand website that is RootsChat. 

Google searches wont find your dropbox list, now or in the future.

Valid point. The first document I listed was too big for this forum. I will post the other document tomorrow on the forum including links.

My goal is to create an eBook to record all information. It is 75% complete as of now. So far there are about 450 pages and 700+ references. George is the only missing link. I will probably make it freely available so that others can pick up my work and build on it.

[NevilleTB]

George Nicholls. These are the references I have uncovered. I said I would put them up on the forum in case anyone can do further research. They will need to span a couple of posts.
