Research Notes

Marriage - There is a marriage in 1865 in Victoria between a Joseph James Nicholson and Matilda Dobson^[2] which resulted in six children, then a second marriage in 1880 to Sarah Ann Newton^[3] (or Howell). Pickard-1581 08:18, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Death - There is a death record in Geelong for a James Joseph Nicholson in 1885^[4][5], but this individual was born in 1848, so it is likely this (and the marriages/children) are a different individual. Joseph is not mentioned in his father's will of 1865 or travelled with his parents to england in 1858 so it is possible that he had already died, that is the current assumption.
