      Identified as Bertie Gay Nicholson, b. Sep 18 1890 at Coldwater, dau of Lewis Albert Nicholson (age 30, b. Lewis Co) and Mary Elizabeth Snider (age 27, b. Coldwater), this being the mother's 5th child of whom 4 now living. Delayed certificate filed Nov 21 1956 on affidavit of brother (not identified), marriage record and voter's registration. However, another birth record (BR Bk 2, p. 242) identifies an unnamed female Nicholson, b. Sep 25 1890 in Doddridge Co, dau of Albert Nicholson (age 30, b. Doddridge) and Mary Snider (age 26, b. Marion Co), this being the mother's 5th child. The latter record would appear to be invalid on several counts.
