    • Notes 
      • Could this Robert of Brokenborough be the brother of Edward Nicholas who died 1582 rather than the son??

        May have been Robert, son of Edward Nicholas of Mannington.(See Visitation of Wiltshire 1623.)
        Perhaps of Mannington, Wiltshire.
        Other children may be:
        Oliver
        Robert
        John
        Lucy
        Catherine
        Edward

        According to Collectanea of Manningford -is this the same as Mannington??

        British Museum manuscripts

        There is Robert Nicholas buried All Canings 08.09.1592? Also 1597

        Confused with Judge Robert Nicholas eg:
        1 The Dictionary of National Biography again incorrectly gives him (Judge Robert Nicholas) a son Oliver, afterwards knighted; and a daughter Catherine, married to Sir Thomas Brodrick, of Wandsworth, ancestor of Lord Midleton and the present Editor of Wilts IV. But these belonged to a younger branch of the family, and were children of another Robert Nicholas, of Manningford Bruce, by Jane, daughter of Nicholas St. John, of Lydiard Tregoze, and were contemporary with the Judge . The marriage of Sir Thomas Brodrick having taken place at St. Mary le Strand, London, on the 17th August 1622, when the Judge was scarcely 27 years old.

        First name(s): Robert Last name: NICHOLAS Date of burial: 12 Oct 1599 Age at death: Calculated year of birth: Not known Place of burial: Southbroom [nr Devizes] Dedication: St James County: Wiltshire

        Correct Robert Nicholas or father?
