Can anyone please tell me whether William R Nicholson born c.1855 married Jane Ann Morris or Mary Eleanor Donnison in Gateshead 1882?

Thanks!

Sorry, I can't see anything else, apart from the fact that William in 1901 was NOT a widow.

Best thing to do is order the marriage cert, you can order on-line at the general register, costs £7.00 and takes about 7 days.

All the best, Dee xx

Thanks again Dee - so if Christopher Scott married Mary Eleanor Donnison (seemingly) it would mean that WIlliam Nicholson more than likely wed Jane Ann Morris.

Jane Ann could well have been known as Annie, do you agree?

I'll get certs to confirm!

It's looking possible, but you never know for sure in this game.

Once you've got the marriage cert hopefully it should clear it up for you.

Best regards, Dee xx
