I'm looking for my great grandfather's family. He was Edward Nicholas born 1873 and came out to New Zealand, we think in 1894. He disappeared in 1923 and we don't know a lot about him - think he may be an Edward P Nicholas, born in Helston but living in Redruth in 1891. Father also Edward may have been a draper in 1891 and apparently father had remarried (Minnie) guessing around 1880. We don't know first wife of Edward senior so can't verify our Edward via birth cert. Address of family in 1891 is in Phillack. Our Edward had brother Bill also came out to NZ, altho may have lived Australia. Any information on this family much appreciated.
