Author talk:Albert Nicholson

Sources

Son of Robert (1802–1886) and Margaret Nicholson. Younger brother of Francis Nicholson (1843–1925) who did much work towards the publication of The Memorials of the family of Nicholson (see introductory notes). Throughout his life Albert Nicholson lived in or around Manchester. He worked in his father's firm and ultimately became head of Nicholson, Sons & Co. Ltd. Like his father he was an active Unitarian and from 1919–1921 he was President of the Unitarian Historical Society. He was also sometime president of the Lancashire and Cheshire Antiquarian Society and of the Manchester Dickens Fellowship. In 1873 he married Jane Ann Scott.

Insufficient information to progress Author:Albert Nicholson . Would seem that published in Manchester c.1900, so would presume local to Lancashire. List as Parked -- billinghurst (talk) 14:33, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

An Albert Nicholson, of 62 Fountain Street Manchester, was listed in 1875 as a member of the Manchester Literary Club (Papers of the Manchester Literary Club, repr. 2006). In 1885 an Albert Nicholson writes on 'Lancashire in the Rebellion of 1715', Transactions of the Lancashire and Cheshire Antiquarian Society, 3 (1885), pp. 66-88. And 'Lieutenant John Holker', Transactions of the Lancashire and Cheshire Antiquarian Society, 9, pp. 147-54. (Holker was a Catholic Jacobite). I think his dates are 1844-1927 (see details of his correspondence in the handlist here)

That would be a P+ve hit, especially at the page quoted where it has the text Biographical notes relating to various correspondence listed below, have been taken from the D.N.B. op. cit.
