Hello. I'm trying to trace relatives in the Luton, Beds. area. My grandfather, Alfred Nicholls, was born in Luton in 1870, where he lived with his family and 3 brothers, Frank, Walter and William, and a sister. His father was William Nicholls and mother Sarah Ann Nicholls. We do know that Walter Nicholls ran a grocery shop in Park Street, Luton and that Frank managed a cinema. Our problem is that for some reason (could have been a disagreement) my grandfather changed his surname to Nichols with one l in 1894. He died when my father, George Alfred, was only 5. My grandmother, Minnie, then moved to Oxford with my father and later remarried. My father continued to visit his uncles for a while, up to age 18 years. If anyone has any info. we would be so thrilled. My father and mother had four children, John Harvey, Brian George, Peter David and me Joyce Minnie. |
