My ancestor Catherine Nichols born 1786 I think in Cornwall married Samuel Littlejohns.
One of their descendants, Jessie Littlejohns, married a Joseph R Nichols born 1860 in St Germans. Can you research to see if these two Nichols are related
Thank you

The parish records this early don't show the father's name, but as both events took place in St Germans, there is a good possibility they are related somehow
