Nicholls
« on: Tuesday 07 May 24 02:28 BST (UK) »
My GGG Grandfather was Michael Andrew Penhall Nicholls born around 1791-96. In the 1851 census he is living with his son William at Wiltshire. Michael, Father, Wdr, 60, Painter and Glazier Born Penzance, Cornwall.  I am trying to find his parents. There is a possible marriage? Elizabeth Penhall married on 22.2.1784 to James Nicholls.  Would someone know Elizabeth and James's children please. regards, Margaret

Just to add, he married at Bradford on Avon in 1812 as Andrew Michael Penhall Nicholls. His children’s marriage certificates also showed his first name as Andrew even though he was using the name Michael

I just noticed using Andrew on a childs bapt also.

FreeREG has Penzance bapts in the right time frame but cant see him.

Rosie 99 and Trish 1120 - Thanks for looking- Yes, with using the two names, he is a hard fella to track. Also regarding Michael Andrew & Eliza's children in Wiltshire- the only child that seems to be christened was Michael Thomas in 1813. regards, Margaret
