  • Name William Nicholas 
    Gender Male 
    Death 1838  Harbour Grace, Newfoundland Find all individuals with events at this location  [1] 
    • Keith Matthews files has a William deceased in 1838 age 77. Is it this William or was there another? That would put year of birth at approximately 1761
    Notes 
    • To Research:

      In the Keith Matthews Name Files, there are a number of references to Nicholas in East Teignmouth, Devon. Could this be where the Nicholas family came from?

      There were three couples named Nicholas having children at the same time in Harbour Grace in the early 1800s- William and Jane, Thomas and Amy (Martin), John and Sarah. I have DNA connections to some descendants of Thomas and John, it is likely these three men were brothers.
