Hello Elli, William Nichols b 1798 (not sure if its Devon as on marriage info- could be old london area) He married Mary Pentecost in 1816 at St. Keverne Cornwall- occupation Marina. Son Samuel b 1819 st. george in the east, middlesex.(surname mistranslated to nicholl). Sooo not sure if William is from Devon or Middlesex. Thansk Sylvie b |

His occupation would be 'Mariner', i.e. a sailor, not marina. Kate. |
