Thank you everyone that's brilliant. Gins we where always led to believe that he may have changed his surname when he came to England. Apparently he committed a murder in dromintee in Ireland. He then fled to Liverpool. We have photos of him with Michael Collins so we where unsure if this was IRA related. Thank you all for help I am really made up with this info .

Hi Lesley

Could you give us all the information that you have for Nicholas please

You say he 'fled' Ireland?

You think he changed his name, how did you conclude that?
