Donald was born on Friday, 6 June 1834 at Liverpool.1,2 He was the son of Donald Nicholson and Jane Wetherell.

He was recorded as living with his parents, a servant and siblings Margaret, Eliza, Jessie, Walter and Parker in the 1841 census at Walton-on-the-Hill, Liverpool. He was recorded as being 7 years old.3 He presumably lived with his parents at Castle Street, in Liverpool, in December 1843.4

He married Elizabeth Ann Medhurst, daughter of Thomas Medhurst and Nancy Ann Cattral, in a Church of England ceremony at St. Philip's on Wednesday, 6 August 1856 at Liverpool. He was 22 and his wife Elizabeth was 19. Elizabeth was the daughter of a glass cutter.. Donald Nicholson attended as father of the groom; others who may have attended the wedding include Nancy Ann Cattral as mother of the bride, Thomas Medhurst as father of the bride and Jane Wetherell as mother of the groom. Brothers and sisters who may have attended include Walter Wetherell Nicholson and Parker Nicholson. Elizabeth and Donald went on to have at least five children together.6,2,7 Donald (and presumably his spouse Elizabeth) lived on 9 August 1857 at Crown Street, Liverpool.8 Donald and Elizabeth lived in 1860 at 31 Myrtle Street, Liverpool.9

His mother died 8 December 1870 at the age of 68. Donald was aged 36 when this happened.

He was recorded as head of household in the 1871 census with Euphemia Scott Gibb as his spouse at 3 Edgar Terrace Hulton Street, Moss Side, Manchester. He was 36 years old. Also in the house were 5 of his children from a previous marriage aged 8 to 14, and an infant from his second marriage.14 His occupation was recorded as being a bookkeeper for yarn agents in the census.14

Donald, aged 37 and Euphemia Scott Gibb became the parents of Charles Leigh Clare Nicholson in May 1872 at Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester. Interestingly, the infant's name 'Charles Leigh Clare' is the same as Donald's employer 6 years later (Charles Leigh Clare & Co.) Was Donald repaying a debt of gratitude?.15,16,17

His father died 11 February 1874 at the age of 69. Donald was aged 39 when this happened.18 Donald (and presumably his spouse Euphemia) lived in June 1878 at Plumley, Cheshire.19 Donald Nicholson was a cashier for Messrs. Chas. Leigh Clare and Co, merchants in November 1878 at 42 Lloyd Street, in Manchester.20

Donald gave evidence in a court case where a fellow employee, a collector, stole 2 cheques totalling £77. He was sentenced to a year's imprisonment.20 Donald (and presumably his spouse Euphemia) lived in December 1879 at Lower Peover, Cheshire.21

He was recorded as head of household in the 1881 census with Euphemia Scott Gibb as his spouse at Plumley Moor, Plumley, Cheshire. He was 46 years old. His age was recorded as 47 years old.17 His occupation was recorded as being a 'cashier clerk to a cotton [??] commission agent and merchant' in the census.17

At the age of 49 Donald and his wife Euphemia emigrated with their four children from Glasgow on 3 November 1883 on the 'Loch Katrine'. The ship was described as a 'Magnificent Iron Clipper Ship', and the Nicholsons travelled as second class passengers.22,16,23 Donald and his wife Euphemia arrived at Melbourne on 4 February 1884. The voyage took a long 89 days. It is reported that the ship was popular, and the passengers had an agreeable time at sea.22,24,16


The Nicholsons were granted 90 acres of land at Tasmania on April 1884.25 Donald Nicholson was empanelled on a jury in June 1887 at Launceston, Tasmania.26 He was appointed as auditior of the Little Argus Tin Mining Company on 8 March 1888 at Launceston, Tasmania.27 He was a bank clerk in May 1888 at Launceston, Tasmania.28 He bought 10 shares in the Cream Creek Tin Mining Company on 11 May 1888 at Launceston, Tasmania.28

He was acting ledger-keeper in February 1890 at The Bank of Van Diemens Land, in Launceston, Tasmania.29 He was a witness in a court case involving larceny whilst he was at work on 22 February 1890 at Launceston, Tasmania.29

The Launceston Training College had its annual exhibition on Thursday, 17 December 1891 in Y.M.C.A Hall Brisbane Street, in Launceston, Tasmania. It was so well attended that some were not able to be admitted. Lady Hamilton, the wife of the Governor, was received by Euphemia and Donald. Charles, George and Lily played the violin to acclaim, and George sang "Sion". In the prizes awarded, Lily was seen as the most improved, and also won a special writing prize. Lady Hamilton spoke enthusiastically about what she had seen on her visit, especially the good feeling that existed between the students and teachers, and presented Euphemia with a number of volumes from her Scripture class.30,31,32

On Wednesday, 29 November 1893 became a Deacon of the Catholic Apostolic Church (although he may have been a memeber of the congregation for some time beforehand). This Church espoused the messages that the second coming of Christ was imminent and that the Christianity was poorly prepared for it. Further, the Church taught that other churches would be divinely judged and that God had restored the office of Apostle to carry out its work. These 12 contemporary Apostles would carry their message to all people. The congregation met in the “Catholic Apostolic church-room” in the Quadrant.33,34,35 A key distinction of the Catholic Apostolic Church was their belief that the clergy should only be funded by the paying of tithes, not other methods. The standard tithe, at least 10 years later, was ten percent.36,37

Donald began working as a private accountant: on 8 December 1894:
NEW BUSINESS.-It is announced in an advertisement in another column of this issue that Mr Donald Nicholson, who is well-known in the city, having been here for 10 years connected with the Bank of V.D. Land, has opened an office at 37 Patterson-street, and is prepared to take accountant's work in general, including the winding up of insolvent estates, posting tradesmen's books, and estate agencies. Mr Nicholson will no doubt secure a share of the public patronage.38,39

He applied to be auditior of the Northern Tasmania Permanent Building Society on 21 February 1895.40

Donald was the estate-agent trying to sell a house.41 He was elected as auditor of the Cornwall Coal Company on 1 May 1896.42

Lily was given a crystal mounted photgraph of the Cataract Gorge at a social on Tuesday, 30 June 1896; Euphemia and Donald both attended.43 He was re-elected as auditor of the Launceston Savings Investment and Building Society on 4 August 1896.44

On 4 September 1898 Donald Nicholson The Catholic Apostolic Church opened for the first time in Margaret Street, in Launceston, Tasmania, on Sunday, 4 September 1898, four months after the plans were approved by the State. Three services were held, and at least 150 attended the last at 7pm. at Launceston, Tasmania.45,46 In the special sermon from opening night, the doctrines of the church were explained. "It was not a sect, nor was the building erected to form a sect, but the purpose was to reveal to the people the true way of worshipping God. The ministry ... (consists) of apostles, prophets, evangelists and pastors....The only apostle left was (very old), and when he left the earth the offer of mercy would be withdrawn. (The church) believed that every Christian who had been baptised, no matter what sect or creed, had been granted special privileges, and was already saved". In other respects however, the services were similar to Church of England services.47,37

A sense can be gained of the Catholic Apostolic Church from a report in the newspaper regarding one of their sermons:
This church was again, crowded to its utmost capaicity on Sunday eveaning. The pulpit was occupied by Mr. C. Lindley Perry, B.A., who took for his subject 'The necessity for a living apostolic miinistry for every believer." The argument was that the sealing or anointing should always follow baptism, and that the sealing could only be bestowed by the laying on of apostles' hands, which belonged to the apostolic ministry alone, and to none other. This was illustrated by passages taken from the book of the Acts of the Apostles, the parable of the ten virgins, and from the book of Revelation. The preacher stated that the apostolic ministry had been restored to Christendom to prepare a people for the coming of the Lord, which was very near at hand, and for their deliverance from impending judgments. The sermon, which occupied an hour in deliviery, was listened to with much interest.48



George was mentioned for academic achievement: on 2 May 1899:
At the recent Sydney University examinations, George Nicholson, son of Mr. Donald Nicholson, of this city, took the degree of Bachelor of Arts. He took the University medal, Professor Anderson's prize, and first-class honours in logic and mental philosophy, first-class honours in English, French, and German, Professor McCallum's prize for English, and the law studentship of £50 a year for three years. He was equal with the man who obtained the travelling scholarship of £150 for three years, the scholarship being given to the elder man because he was too old to compete again. Young Nicholson was at one time employed at the Town-hall here, and since going to the Sydney University has, by hard work and perseverance, gained £320 in money prizes alone.

His parents must have been very proud.49

In September 1899 Donald the church council of the Catholic Apostlic Church nominated Donald to be ordained as a priest.33 He was ordained as a priest of the Catholic Apostolic Church in December 1899. The duties of a priest during a Church service were described in detail by a visitor to the congegration in 1904.33,37

He was elected auditor of the New Monarch Gold Mining Company.50

In August 1900 he was reelected to be an auditor of the Launceston Savings Investment and Building Society.51

Donald attempted to sell his house: on 27 February 1901:
MESSRS. ALFRED HARRAP AND SON have been favoured with instructions from Donald Nicholson, Esq., to sell by auction at ,their mart, Cameron-street, on MONDAY, 18th MARCH, AT NOON,
W.B. balconied residence, No. 16 Laura-street, Cataract Hill (corner Laura-street and Kinburn street), and containing on the ground floor drawing-room, dining-room, breakfast-room, kitchen, school-room (30 x 15), class-room, scullery, bath, workshop, -which can be converted into a stable, conservatory; splendid flower garden, cement yard, etc., with 4 rooms on the upper floor, and the whole is in an excellent state of preservation. Land, 57ft. on Laura-street ,by 133ft. on Kinburn-street; also, a separate allotment of orchard land, 100ft. by 100ft. in Kinburn-street.

Further particulars on application to the auctioneers.52,53,54



Two youths who had stolen 15s worth of carpentry tools from the Nicholson household were taken to Police Court. Donald, suffering from about of influenza, declined to prosecute due to the age of the accused.55,56

He was appointed auditor of a new mining company, "The Duchess of York G. M Company, No Liability."57 He and Euphemia Scott Gibb moved to Gormanston, Tasmania, on 24 March 1902.33 Donald left the Church when he moved to Gormanston, Tasmania, but by this time the church was evidently in serious decline; in April 1904 there were 'less than 20' members of the congregation. This was perhaps related to the fact the last of the Church's apostles died in 1901 and the church seemingly retreated to 'family circles'.35,58 He was the manager at the National Bank at Gormanston, Tasmania, on 11 June 1902 at Gormanston, Tasmania.59

Donald gave evidence in a court case in July 1902.60

He gave evidence in an court case in Strahan, Tasmania, on Friday, 15 August 1902.61 He was manager of the National Bank in April 1906 at Queenstown, Tasmania.62

Donald, as the father of the groom, along with Euphemia attended the wedding of Charles and Louise Augusta Fookes in a Church of England ceremony at St. Martin's Church on Sunday, 8 December 1907 at Queenstown, Tasmania. Charles was 35 and his wife Louise was 27. And Rev. Henry Samuel Cox Fookes as father of the bride. Louise and Charles went on to have three children together.15

Donald was involved in a court case concerning a begger called John Long: in March 1908:
"Long, it appears, went to Mr D. Nicholson, the bank manager, and asked for money to obtain food. He was handed a shilling, but regarded this a mean gift, considering that Mr Nicholson was manager of a financial institution. Then he asked for an old cap, but here Mr Nicholson became suspicious, and got rid of his caller, afterwards reporting the matter to the police. Detective-Sergeant Bain sarched out Long, and taxed him. Long protested that he had not asked anyone for money. Next he was confronted with Mr Nicholson, who at once recognised Long. 'Here, that'll do,' exclaimed Long. 'Don't you put up a tale about me. You never saw me before in your life, or I never saw you.' 'You are a bad man,' replied tbe astonished bank manager. 'Why, didn't you ask me for an old cap?' 'No,' I didn't,' indignantly proclaimed Long. 'What would I wan't to ask you for a cap for? Haven't I got one of my own'; and Long pulled a rather well-worn cap from his head and proudly, held it up for exhibition. Later on, however, the Bench was satisfied that Long was an offender, and he was dealt with as already indicated."63

He was appointed as a Justice of the Peace on 3 May 1909 at Queenstown, Tasmania.64 The Nicholson family posed for a photograph c1910.

His place was taken by his son-in-law Albert Henry Fooks on 1 October 1919 at Queenstown, Tasmania.69 Donald arrived at New South Wales in 1920.16
