I'm Having trouble finding information on Agnes Nicols Apart from her marriage to Samuel Edgerton in Tasmania. would anyone know her parents or siblings or where she came from, all the trees I've seen that have her name seem to have collected it from my tree.

Hello painta76,

Samuel and Agnes' marriage info is available to all subscribers on Ancestry.

Name: Samuel Edgerton
Spouse Name: Agnes Nichols (Nicholls)
Marriage Date: 2 Jul 1864
Marriage Place: Tasmania
Registration Place: Oatlands, Tasmania
Registration Year: 1864
Registration Number: 614

Some of the other trees have more information than yours provides about the family, but none appear to have names of her parents, or a death date for Agnes.

One tree has a photo attached, of an 'Agnes Laura Nichols'.

Her husband's death notice in 1901.

"EDGERTON.-On Friday evening, the 11th inst., at Rhyndaston, after a short and peaceful illness, Samuel, the dearly beloved husband of Agnes Edgerton, in the 75th year of his age. Funeral will leave his late residence on Tuesday, 15th inst, (noon), for Colebrook."

It appears that Agnes remarried, to a Robert Charles Bennett in 1903?

By 1903 Tasmanian marriage certificates included information on the bride and groom's birthplaces, their fathers' names and occupations, and their mothers' names.

Burial, 1926? Age a few years out?

"BENNETT.-On April 28, 1926, at her daughter's residence, Rockville, York Plains, Agnes Laura, beloved wife of the late Robert Bennett, aged 70 years. The funeral will arrive at the Church of England Cemetery, Oatlands, This Day (Fri- day), at 3.30 p.m."

Newspaper reports indicate a J C and E Gregg were resident at 'Rockville', York Plains, and public trees here at Ancestry include information about Samuel and Agnes' daughter Eliza Edgerton, who married a James Charles Gregg.

Given that they married in Oatlands, there is a possible lead in the newspaper at NLA Trove, being the marriage notice of an Alfred NICHOLS, youngest son of Thomas NICHOLS of Oatlands, on 10 Feb 1875 at Hobart Town. Seems to fit the timeframe.

There is a post about this family online:
>I was wondering if anyone had information on Thomas Lewis Nichols born England 1801 and died Oatlands Tasmania in 1882.
>
>He was married to Mary Ann Vincent, daughter of John Vincent builder of the Oatlands flour Mill and a number of hotels in the district.

DEATH.
NICHOLS.—On the 6th instant, at Musgrave Cottage, Oatlands, Tasmania, Thomas Nichols, aged 81 years.

This family is listed in the Tasmanian Colonial index but sadly Agnes is not listed among the children. Still, could be a lead there somewhere as there are others researching this family who may have info. Agnes is there - shown as born 1847 - because of her marriage to Samuel.

There was also a George NICHOLS (b. 1822 Hobart) in the area at the time; he was superintendant of Oatlands police c1875. He married Harriet WEEDING at Oatlands 1847. Agnes is not listed among their children but could have been born prior to their marriage?

Hiya,
groom's name: Samuel Edgerton
groom's birth date: 1830
groom's age: 34
bride's name: Agnes Nichols
bride's birth date: 1847
bride's age: 17
marriage date: 02 Jul 1864
marriage place: Oatlands, Tasmania, Australia
groom's marital status: widowed

This marriage would have needed consent.
