Person:Fanny Nicholls (1)

Only one sighting has been found of Fanny Nicholls, which is her burial. Unfortunately this does not record how old she was. She was buried on 18th January 1793 at Little Gaddesden in Hertfordshire, and described as daughter of James Nicholls of Hudnall, a poor man. There was a James Nicholls who lived at Hudnall around this time; he had married Mary Ambrose in 1781 and had a son Daniel in 1782 and daughter Ruth in 1785. His wife Mary had then died in 1790. It therefore seems reasonably likely that Fanny was born some time between 1785 and 1790, but no baptism has been found for her. This would make Fanny between two and seven years old when she died.
