Historical information

Henry Nicholls and his wife Marion (nee Downes) migrated to Victoria in 1852, settling in the Linton-Carngham district in the late 1850s. He acquired farmland in the 1860s which he called 'Sutton Grange'. He is listed as a dairyman in an 1868 directory entry for Linton. Later he ran a store, where he sold fruit and preserves from the farm. Members of the Nicholls family ran the store until the early 1900s, when it was sold to J. H. Morgan. (Building is currently 80 Sussex Street, Linton). Henry Nicholls died in 1889.
Henry Nicholls kept a diary of his voyage to Australia, copies of which are in the LDHS collection.
