The year of birth is somewhat moveable, the Nicholls were Romany.

In one newspaper report Job is mentioned gambling with his friend Dangerfield Gumble (fab name). The Nicholls decendants remember tales of theft and deception as recounted by Grandma and Mother.

I'm trying to go down this Nicholls line, hubby comes from Job the elder's brother so I haven't looked before. One of hubby's cousins has been in touch and we are trying to tie facts down.

Job the younger appears in an awful lot of newpaper reports in London and Uxbridge as he was a rogue :-0

A family member has his death in 1948 Edmonton.
