I think that Alfred Stanley Nichols is NOT the son of Thomas Lewis Nichols, Convict "Maria" 1820 (1801-1882) and Mary Ann Eliza Nichols, Free Settler "Elizabeth" 1823
In his overview it states he died in the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 aged 42 years. This would give him a birth date of c1870 - although his profile says born 1864 New South Wales
Thomas Lewis Nichols, Convict "Maria" 1820 was a convict and was sent to Tasmania in 1820 where he remained until his death in 1882
Thomas was married to Mary Ann Eliza Nichols, Free Settler "Elizabeth" 1823 in 1823 and they were married when she died in 1877 - and they are buried together.
Thomas and Mary did have a son called Alfred born in 1850 in Tasmania who died in 1921 in Tasmania - Alfred Nichols
https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic-victim/alfred-nichols... says that the person who died at the Titanic sinking was Albert William Stanley NICHOLS born Sydney 16 July 1864 son of Thomas George Charles NICHOLS and his wife Mary and that he grew up on Lord Howe Island
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Nichols-10097 also states that the Titanic says that the person who died at the Titanic sinking was Albert William Stanley NICHOLS - son of Thomas George Charles NICHOLS (1838-1897 son of Thomas Arnold NICHOLS) and Mary ANDREWS
