Nicholas was born 1 September 1741, and he was baptized 9 September 1741 at St. Martin in the Fields, Westminster, London^[1][2].

He married Elizabeth Spratt on 31 October 1768 at Salisbury, Wiltshire^[3]

He died 8 September 1828 and was buried in German Lutheran Church in the Savoy^[4]. The remains of those buried at the Lutheran Church were moved to New Southgate Cemetery into an area now referred to as the Queen Victoria Vaults (page 4 of Southgate District Civic Trust Newsletter 198 Oct 2006). Nicholas is now buried under Vault XIX^[5]
