Deaths Jun 1983 (>99%)
NICHOLLS MARY JANE 9DE1898 DURHAM CEN 1 1054

You are uncertain of when she died - have you looked for a record?

William died in 1975 - see above - so did she outlive him?

As they ended up in Durham - this looks like a possibility, but the only way to prove it is to get a copy of Mary's birth cert - for the actual DOB

1911

George Pickering Lumsden Head Married Male 47 1864 Iron Moulder Durham City Durham
Mary Jane Lumsden Wife Married Female 45 1866 - Sunderland Coy Durham
Daniel Lumsden Son Single Male 25 1886 Iron Moulder City of Durham Durham
James Lumsden Son Single Male 16 1895 Coal Miner Putter Belmont Parish Coy Durham
John Lumsden Son - Male 14 1897 Boiler Maker Belmont Parish Coy Durham
Mary Jane Lumsden Daughter - Female 12 1899 School Hartlepool City Durham
George Pickering Lumsden Son - Male 10 1901 School Belmont Parish Coy Durham
Margaret Hannah Lumsden Daughter - Female 8 1903 - Belmont Parish Coy Durham
Francis Annie Lumsden Daughter - Female 5 1906 - Belmont Parish Coy Durham
Sarah Elizabeth Lumsden Daughter - Female 3 1908 - Belmont Parish Coy Durham
Edith Lumsden Daughter - Female 1 1910 - Belmont Parish Coy Durham

I have no proof on that one I'm afraid Erika.On daughter Joans birth cerificate her name is given as Millie (which she was always known by) Joans sister insists her 'proper' name was Mary Jane.Her name was formerly Lumsden.Maybe she was married to a Lumsden previously ? She died c1976-77 in Durham as Nicholls.

Name varies between Nichols and Nicholls

Didn’t have to be married to register the child under the father’s surname

Definitely married.Daughter Joan was born in Lodden in 1929 with surname Nicholls.I have that record.All her siblings were all born in that area after her. William was born on the 20/12/1894 in Topcroft,Norfolk.Unsure of Mary Jane Lumsden.

How do you know they married if you can't find a record.

When and where was the daughter born - was her surname Nichols or Lumsden

What age were William and Mary Jane

I have info William Cecil Nichols married Mary Jane Lumsden in 1928 in Lodden area of Norfolk The scribbled notes seem to read Toftmonks House (possibly Topcroft). They had a daughter Joan-who I have found.Mary Jane was always known as Millie.
I can't find a marriage record for them,nor can I find any of them on the 1939 register?
I'd like to order the marriage certificate if I could find a record.
Any info much appreciated.
THANK YOU.
