Many thanks for your help, but I already have this information.
It was William's birth and anything on Arthur John Nicholson, eg Birth, death, and marriage,.
I have been trying to get any information on the two people for some time now, but without any luck.
Sorry for the confusion, I am very gratful for any information you might be able to give me.
Once again thank you for your time and help.
