Name

The name of the wife of Richard Nichols is known only from his will where she is called Ann, and from her death record in Reading where she is called Annis.[1][2]
In some secondary sources and online, the name of the wife of Richard Nichols is given as Ann Kendall. No evidence has been found to support this. It is undoubtedly a confusion with the wife of his son John who was a Kendall.
She almost certainly was the woman admitted to the church at Reading in 1666 as "Sister Nichols"
