<\/a><\/p>\nThis Theory put Heidi and Kenneth at 4th cousins once removed and the connection goes back to 1765. There are no shared matches between Kenneth and Heidi that I readily recognize. Also Kenneth’s tree is managed by someone else and is private.<\/p>\n
Kenneth’s match also is not strong:<\/p>\n
I would usually try to connect going from the present to the past rather than the other way round. I see that the manager of Kenneth’s tree is from the UK which is probably a good thing as the Nicholson family was from Sheffield, UK.<\/p>\n I see that this is the Armstrong family in 1901 in Carlisle:<\/p>\n This tends to confirm the Theory at the bottom (more recent) level:<\/p>\n Of course, the Census does not give Mary A’s maiden name. All Ancestry Trees plus a probate record identify Mary Ann as a Lawrence. I’ll just accept the two hints, but the family is still in the Region of Cumberland:<\/p>\n At this point, the road I want to go down is the Hannah Nicholson road, but Ancestry gives me no hints. The 1881 Census has Hannah born in Renwick:<\/p>\n Renwick is quite a hike from Sheffield.<\/p>\n Here is a marriage record from Ancestry:<\/p>\n Here are Hannah and her parents in 1841:<\/p>\n The ‘y’ in the last column indicates that everyone was born in the same county – which would be Cumbria. The connection to Sheffield is not looking good.<\/p>\n At this point, the connection does not seem feasible. The John Nicholson in my tree was married to Martha Jow:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nConnecting Heidi to Kenneth by Genealogy<\/h2>\n
