Elizabeth Jane (born NICHOLLS) first married @John BRICE. Mitzi (that is, Elizabeth Jane's daughter-in-law, @Rosella Blackmore born PEARSON) seems to have thought her full name was Elizabeth Jane Tregonnan Anne; that her first husband was John BRYCE; and that her maiden name was spelled NICOLS or NICHOLS. According to the "Sandringham" passenger list, Elizabeth Jane could read but not write, so it is certainly possible that variant spellings were used. Some variants of NICHOLLS appear in official records. Elizabeth Jane's mother's maiden name was Tregoning, which undoubtedly explains the "Tregonnan" part of the recollection, "Tregonnan" being the spelling Mitzi used for one of her daughter's middle names (@Sadie Tregonnan Blackmore). The "Tregonnan Anne" recollection might be a result of duplication (Tregonn-an-an -> Tregonnan Anne).
