Hi

I was hoping someone could pass on some information about Mary Jane Nicholson (known as Pollie). Her parents were Robert Nicholson (born 1840 Surrey) & her mother was Mary Ann Chandler. Mary Jane married Henry Halliday in 1885 and lived near Tenterfield. Any information about Mary Jane & her parents would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jodie

There's no Henry Halliday marriage in 1885, and the two there are in 1886 and 1884 weren't to a Mary Jane Nicholson.

?

No Henry Hallidaiy marriage to a Nicholson ever, actually.

Can you explain where the info is from?

Looked for Henry & Mary Halliday in 1891, to confirm her personal details, no luck.
