Editing Mary Ann Nichols (section)

===Marriage and Children===
On 16 Jan 1864, Mary Ann Walker, "daughter of Edward Walker, blacksmith" was married to William Nichols, "son of William Nichols, Herald Printer".  Both were noted as being of full age and residing in St. Bride's.  Seth Geroge Havell and Sarah Good witnessed the marriage.

They had the following children: 

# William Edward Walker Nichols (1864-1866)
# Edward John Nichols (1866-?)
# Percy George Nichols (1868-1948)
# Alice Esther Nichols (1870-?)
# Eliza Sarah Nichols (1877-?)
# Henry Alfred Nichols (1879-?)

By 1871 the young family had moved in with Mary Ann's widower father who lived at 131 Trafalger St.  Their last child, Henry Alfred Nichols, was born in 1879 but he wasn't baptized right away like the earlier children.  By 1881 Mary Ann is no longer listed with the family, now living at #6 of the D Block of the Peabody Buildings near Stamford St and Blackfriars Road in Lambeth.  The Peabody Buildings had been built at various locations around London as affordable housing for the working, but generally respectable, poor.  Next door to the Nichols family in the 1881 census was a woman named Rosetta Walls, a married charwoman aged 27 who is living with her aged mother, Sarah Vidler.  Also in the household is Rosetta's older brother, William Vidler, sho is noted as "Printer Porter", a similar occupation to William, and her two sisters - Jane Vidler and Sarah Louise Vidler - were occupied as book folders, also within the same industry.  Her husband is not listed with them, just as Mr. Nichols wife is not with them.
