Expansion needed

I have expanded this article as far as I can take it with the sources available to me, but I think that the current article is still a poor reflection of the man's career. It focuses on his brief parliamentary career ... but as this google books search shows, a lot has been written on Nicholls's role as an organiser of agricultural labourers, which appears to have been long and significant ... but unfortunately I do not have access to those books.

Other edits may have the sources to allow creation of a more round story of his his career. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:43, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Was he ordained?

I note he is described as a Pastor at a series of Congregational churches. Was he an ordained minister, entitling him to be described as "Reverend"?Cloptonson (talk) 20:42, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
