Fanny Prickett was born in 1867 at Thame in Oxfordshire, England. She was the daughter of Emma Prickett, formerly Bradbury, and her husband George Prickett, a bricklayer. Fanny appears in the 1871 census living with her parents and siblings on Friday Street in Thame.

The family emigrated in 1874, when Fanny was six years old. They sailed from London on 11th January 1874 on the 'Glamorganshire', arriving at Maryborough in Queensland some sixteen weeks later on 3rd May 1874.

In 1886, Fanny had a daughter called Sarah. She was followed in 1888 by a daughter called Edith.

On 1st November 1890, Fanny was married at Maryborough to Frederick Nicholls. They had a son, Arthur, in 1891. Frederick died the following year, aged just 30.

Just over two years later, Fanny married again. Her second husband was Arthur Daniel Nicholls, younger brother of her first husband. They went on to have four more children between 1895 and 1905. Electoral registers show the family lived at Ferry Lane in Maryborough from at least 1905 to 1919 and that Arthur worked as a labourer. Fanny's son Arthur from her first marriage was killed in the First World War, fighting in the Somme area in France.

Some time between 1919 and 1925 the family moved within Maryborough to Bazaar Street. By 1931, Arthur and Fanny were living separately; she lived at 319 Ann Street and he lived at 324 Alice Street. Their relationship had clearly broken down, as Arthur went to court in 1931 to try to get their marriage annulled on the basis that it used to be illegal for a man to marry his late brother's wife. The judge took a dim view of this argument as the couple had been living together for over thirty years and had four adult children. The case was adjourned several times through 1931, but no final verdict has been found. Whether the case was dropped or the judge ruled against annulment is therefore unclear, but it does seem to be the case that Fanny and Arthur remained married, but continued to live separately at different addresses within Maryborough.

Arthur died on 25th July 1947, aged 76. Fanny outlived him by over fifteen years. She died on 16th November 1962, aged 95.
