The Nix Family
Greg's mother was Lucy Jane Nix born 6th March 1911 at Midville Lincs,
She was the daughter of Henry Nix (187? - 1954) and Fanny Horry (188?-1944) who are buried in Midville Church Yard. They had nine other children the last of whom died this year 2000, and many grandchildren. I have fairly full information about these relatives.
I have traced back the NIX line to the entries in the 1881 Census below, and using some of the latter Day Saints web resources. I have not yet been able to organise the relationships or confirm how they fit in the family tree, but it looks likely there is an unbroken line of Nix's going back at least 200 years in the Dowsby, Horbling area of Lincolnshire
However I have little information about the Horry's.
