I was hoping that you might be able to confirm a connection between my William W. Nichols
born about 1877 in Kansas and Minerva Catt and William Nichols.
I am reverse engineering the family right now so here is what I have. William W. Nichols
born abt. 1877 in Kasas married Rose Duffy of Topeka b. 06/04/1889. This is based on 1920
and 1930 census records. Based on the 1930 census I know that they were in Gardena, CA.
The California death index lists a Marguerite Rose Nichols as having died 02/27/1984 in
Oceanside, CA. I am about 90% positive (I don't have the death certificate yet) this
is the correct Rose Duffy Nichols based on the listed mother's maiden name of Jones
and her father's name of Duffy. I then found a William W. Nichols in the California
death index who was born 07/17/1877 in Kansas and died 11/14/1961 in San Diego. The death
index listed his mother's maiden name as CATTS.
Do you have any information on Minerva Catt's children that indicates her son William
married a Rose Duffy?
Thank you for your time. I am not requesting you send any detailed information. I am
just trying to see if I am on the right track in my research.
