Trying to find a Geroge Nicholson, born 1884 Sheffield and died probably 1969 in Rotherham.
I think he lived in Rotherham and was either a policeman or a fireman.
He had two daughters Nancy & Agnes

Do you have any more information? Wife's name?

In Scotland Nancy is usually a form of the name Agnes.
