HARRY NICHOLAS

I would be grateful for any information regarding HARRY NICHOLAS, my great grandfather. HARRY was born 1871 in Bishops Castle, Shropshire, England, following his marriage he lived in Chester, Cheshire, England. HARRY NICHOLAS is listed on the 1901 census as living in Chester. On the 1911 Census HARRY is listed as living in Braddan, Isle of Man, his occupation was a tailor. HARRY NICHOLAS died in Braddan Imfirmary 24 April 1942 age 71. I have no further information relating to HARRY's life in the Isle of Man, or whether he had any family members living on the Isle. I have drawn a blank as to why he left his family in Chester and built a new life for himself in the Isle of Man.

If anyone can help fill in a few gaps, my family would be very grateful for any information.

Many thanks in advance,
Jules
