Carroll was born on Thursday, 24 September 1908 at Bletchingly, Surrey.¹ He was the son of Colin Nicholson and Winifred Anne Firminger.

Carroll appeared in the household of his grandparents Benjamin and Caroline Firminger in the 1911 census at Chine Cresent, Durley Grange, Bournemouth, Dorset. His mother was also living in the house; his father was likely at sea.²

He married Nancy Levi, on Saturday, 22 April 1933 at Sutton Coldfield, Bedfordshire. He was 24 and his wife Nancy was 26..¹

Carrol wrote an excellent little book on the history of the Nicholsons that is the basis for much of what I know about this family.

Carroll died on 18 December 1987 at Ravenscourt Park, London, at age 79.³
