My Great Grandparents names were John Nicholson and Catherine Dixon. They were married in 1933 and had 6 children, Mary, John, Catherine, Sheila, Maurine and William. |

An idea of where your great grandparents lived would help. |

The marriage certificate will name their fathers. |

You need the marriage certificate to be sure of the father's names and occupations. |

The GRO record for the marriage should be on FreeBMD |

There is a possible birth registered for Catherine in the March quarter 1913 with mother's maiden name Derrick. Do you know if your John and Catherine had any siblings please? This would help to narrow the search. |

As Shirley said you would need their marriage certificate to confirm fathers- I did wonder if this had something to do with why your Gran was avoiding questions: |

Ah yes- the service record on Ancestry for Robert confirms he was married to Mary Agnes Wilson in January 1908. The following children are also listed on the record all born Felling Shore, Gateshead: |

Verdon- the child on the service record is actually Osmond Verdun Nicholson. |

Robert Nicholson and Mary Agnes (nee Wilson) at 7 Corrofell Gardens in 1939 look to be the parents of John W Wilson born 1911. |

Sorry. I don't know too much about that side of the family, however I know most of the John and Catherines children and grandchildren were born in Felling/Bill Quay area so that most likely is them. |

The man named Gavin in the 1939 record, it reads Gavin (Chittich) Nicholson, what does the name in brackets mean? |

If you do buy the marriage certificate and let us know the names of John and Catherine's fathers and their occupations and who the witnesses were, come back and let us know and we can probably help you further if you need it. |
