I was born Mary Elizabeth Nicholls in Penzance, Cornwall. I am trying to link up with the families of two brothers, John Nicholls and Thomas Nicholls. Both John and Thomas emigrated to Australia in the late 1890s or early 1900s. John was born in Madron, Cornwall in 1869 and Thomas was born in Madron, Cornwall in 1874. They were the sons of Nicholas Thomas Nicholls from Madron (1840-1900) and Mary Ann Jenkin also from Madron (1841 - after 1901) who farmed at Landithy, Madron. My grandfather, was Walter Henry Nicholls, born in Madron in 1877. He became the proprietor of Wilton & Nicholls Ltd., Ironmongers of Penzance, Cornwall. My father, John and his two brothers, Walter Roy and Frank were also in the business. Please respond if you are descended from either John or Thomas Nicholls from Madron, Cornwall. Regards, Mary Chown |
