Notes

1 A William Nicholson of Paddockwray was buried at St Catherine's on 15th of January 1641. Could have been Nicholas's father or son but Nicholas was tenant in 1633, so William is more likely to have been his son.

(Francis was buried on January 13th 1650)

3 Katherine must have been born 1634 or earlier, more likely before 1630, thus Nicholas would probably have been born around 1600.

4 Nicholas Nicholson was tenant of Paddock Wray at the time of the General Fine of 1633. The property was transferred to his daughter Katherine in 1651 and to John Tison in 1652.

5 In 1678 Henry Viccars was tenant of Paddocwreah

6 Nicholas could have been son or grandson of the Edward Nicholson who was tenant of Paddock Wray at the time of the Percy Survey of 1578. (Edward - William - Nicholas?)
