Lawrence NICHOLS (1934-2011)

1 Lawrence Joseph NICHOLS^1,2 (1934-2011) [17078]. Born 27 Oct 1934.² Died 14 Dec 2011.²

I am confused by the reference to sister and brother-in-law Mary Jo and Raja Khuri since the obit for Frances only mentioned two children - Lawrence and Mary Ellen.²

2 Joseph Edward NICHOLS^3,4,5 (1908-1977) [16990]. Born 15 Sep 1908, Syracuse, NY.^5,6 Marr Frances Rose POLI 22 Jul 1933, Detroit, MI.^4,5 Died May 1977.⁶

3 Frances Rose POLI^3,7,8,9 (1911-1992) [16987]. Born 29 Mar 1911, Windsor, Ontario, Canada.^7,9 Died 23 May 1992.¹⁰

6 Frank C. POLI^7,8,11,12 (1871-1938) [16979]. Born 5 Aug 1871, MI.^11,12,13 Marr Carrie May Ramme BUNTORY 21 Nov 1899, Detroit, MI.¹⁴ Marr Marie Louise O'Shea O'DONNELL 29 Jun 1907, Windsor, Ontario, Canada.¹⁵ Div 31 Jan 1916, Houghton County, MI.¹⁶ Died 4 Sep 1938, Maryville, MI.¹³ Buried Mount Elliott Cemetery, Detroit, MI.¹⁷

Frank's death certificate shows that he was born August 5, 1874. The year 1874 seems unlikely based on the 1880 and 1900 census. So, our records show 1871 as per the census reports.

12 Pietro E. POLI^18,19 (1845-1928) [16969]. Born 1 Jul 1845, Bologna, Italy.^18,19,20 Died 18 Apr 1928.²⁰

13 Mary Martha PRIDGEON^21,22 (1848-1911) [443]. Born 12 Mar 1848, MI.^21,22 Marr Hiram LAW 5 Sep 1865, Detroit, MI.²³ Died 17 Jan 1911, Detroit, MI.²² Buried Mt. Elliott Cemetery, Detroit, MI.²²

No records show that Mary Canney (Kunet, Kenet, Canet, Canny, Kenney) was actually Mary Pridgeon. In the 1880 census Mary is shown as sister in law to Sophia Canny "ey" which indicates she is Mary Pridgeon.

7 Marie Louise O'Shea O'DONNELL^7,8,15,24 ( -1962) [16985]. Born Ontario, Canada.¹⁵ Died 4 Aug 1962, Detroit, MI.^3,25 Buried Mount Elliott Cemetery, Detroit, MI.²⁵
