This is the only birth for a James Peter Nicholson between 1890 and 1900 on FreeBMD:-

Name: James Peter Nicholson
Year of Registration: 1890
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: West Derby
County: Lancashire
Volume: 7b
Page: 249

Where have you got your dad's birth year from? Could he have been born elsewhere in the country and then moved to Sunderland when he was young so thought he was born there?

My grandfather put on his army papers that his birthplace was Co. Durham (because that is where he grew up) but he was actually born in London.

James Thomas Nicholson born Jun Qtr 1873, Stockton vol 10a page 140

John Sadler Nicholson born Sep Qtr 1875, Stockton vol 10a page 122

Tom Nicholson born Sep Qtr 1878, Stockton vol 10a page 92

Jane Alice Nicholson born Mar Qtr 1881, Stockton vol 10a page 93

These are possibly the births of the four youngest children of Ralph and Margaret Nicholson, I have not included Margaret junior as I have already posted her marriage to Mr Instone

Just off to see if these can be tied up with any marriages.

Evening Jim,

I posted the 1901 census showing the family of Nicholson's however, I think that by 1901 all the children were still at home, and all apart from the eldest Margaret were single, and no James Nicholson aged 4 / 5 is showing on this census - perhaps these are not the family you are looking for.
