Thomas Nicholl
by Susan Brooke
Dec 2021

Thomas "Nycholl" was baptized in Wrawby, Lincolnshire, England on 3 Mar 1576 with his father recorded as Robert Nycholl. (1) Thomas "Nicall" married Dorithea George on 10 May 1603 in Wrawby. (2) There are six baptismal records with Thomas listed as father.  However, only three children were listed when he wrote his will on 16 Feb 1631/2. He was buried a week later on 23 Feb 1631/2. This record indicates he was a glover.  His son-in-law Matthew Moulthrop, had the same occupation. (3)  Dorothy, the wife of Thomas Nicholl,  was buried a few months earlier on 20 Nov 1631.

Biographical Details:

Thomas Nicholl was baptized at Wrawby Parish in Lincolnshire, England, on March 3, 1576 (1577 N. S.) and, accordingly, was probably born nearby shortly before.¹  He was the son of Robert Nicholl, but the name of his mother remains unknown.  According to parish records, he married Dorithea or Dorothy George (perhaps, Gage) on May 10, 1603.  Seven children have been attributed to them.  Of these, only three, viz., Jane, Thomas, and Ellen, appear to have still been living when Thomas made his will on February 16, 1631 (1632 N. S.).²  It would seem that he must have died within no more than a few days since he was buried exactly one week later.  Parish records indicate that Thomas Nicholl was a glover by trade and from Glamford Briggs.  This village was about two miles west of Wrawby and at present corresponds to the modern town of Brigg.  (It would seem that the name Glamford Briggs or Glandford-Bridge derives from an early bridge crossing of the Ancholme River.)
