Notes
1 Information from Nicholson, Nicolson p369
2 Note John is born 3 months before the marriage but there is no suggestion of illegitimacy. It is quite possible that there are two Nathaniel Nicholsons of similar age but I believe it probable that Ruth is the mother of this family.
3 John Nicholson of Egremont, tanner, married Dorothea Nicholson spinster of St Bees at St Bees on 19th July 1766 by licence. Witnesses William Nicholson and Wm. Nicholson
