Saturday, 28 September 2002 - 04:18 pm | | The 1901 census has proved that claims made by Edward Walker at the time of his daughter's (Mary Ann Nichols) death in 1888 that her estranged husband had been having an affair and also had another family, were in fact true!
On the 1901 census William Nichols can be found living at 92 Lyndhurst Grove, Camberwell. With him are not only his son from Polly, named Henry Alfred Nichols but a new wife and three children.
The new wife is Rosetta Nichols aged 47, and the three other children are Arthur Nichols aged 17 Machine Printer, Ethel M.Nichols 9, and Winifred C.Nichols 7.
The significant name being Arthur, because he would have been born in about 1883/84. But it seems obvious that Rosetta was the woman with whom William was having an affair in 1876, while his wife Mary Ann (Polly) was about to give birth to their daughter Eliza Sarah Nichols. He was said to have had an affair with the woman who attended his wife.
Mary Ann on registering her child gave the address as 3J Peabody Buildings, Lambeth. This address was away from William and the other children who were living at 6D Peabody Buildings.
Significantly, on looking at the 1881 census I found living nextdoor to William at 5D Peabody Buildings was a family named Vidler, but also a daughter living there was recorded as Rosetta Walls aged 27, Charwoman, born Marylebone. This can only be the woman with whom William Nichols was having an affair, and by 1888 also had another family. By 1901, they had at least three children together.
So contrary to his own claims Mary Ann Nichols cannot be solely to blame, if at all, for the breakdown of their marriage!

Saturday, 12 October 2002 - 05:49 pm | | Just to add a few extra details to the post above.
I recently searched the records of the Peabody Buildings where Mary Ann and William Nichols lived before their separation. The buildings were constructed in 1875.
William's name is first recorded in the tenants records in 1876 at 3 D Block. Later that year Mary Ann gave birth to their fourth child Eliza Sarah at 3 J Block which I now know was the home of Susan Harrison, a widow of William's workmate. This could not have been the woman with whom William was having an affair, as I have proved above this was Rosetta Walls of 5 D Block.
William was recorded as working at the printers William 'Clowes' & Sons, of Duke Street.
Mary Ann went back to William at 3 D by February the next year when she registered Eliza.
William and Mary Ann moved on to 6 D Block in 1878, and William was last recorded there in 1882 when debts caused him to leave.
