Son John NICHOLLS Born Circa 1830 probably England.
Married in NZ 1875 to Dianah Frances REID Widow Nee HAYCOCK.He died NZ 1905.

He May have been in Australia from a young age - no trace. Convict or otherwise!

He is supposed to have been born in England. His Father was also John a said to have been a Teacher. Not sure if they and another Son James left England for Oz or the Boys came together or seperatley. It seems both were in NZ in 1866. James returned to England.

Son John carried a second christian name of Howard in later documents in NZ. He is my GGGF. Any hints of him or where to find him. I have cross matched all 3 from all on the internet and about to cross reference them to narrow them down for a search of the on line records.

Thanks Roger NZ1955.
