GOVERNMENT SAVINGS BANK OF NEW SOUTH WALES, cheque form, 192-, signed Eliza Nichols, vignette at left edge and printer's name, Bloxham & Chambers Ltd. Folds, age toned, otherwise nearly very fine.
Eliza Nichols was born at the village of Stone in Buckinghamshire, England. She came to Australia in 1849 and married William Nichols in the same year at East Maitland, NSW. She lived at Bishop's Bridge, Maitland for nearly sixty years. Her husband predeceased her and for the last two years of her life she lived with her son, Herbert Nichols, at Oswald near Lochinvar. She died on 27 April 1920 at her son's home at the age of 89 and was buried at the small Bishop's Bridge Cemetery. The above blank cheque was no doubt signed by her and given to her son to use if needed as he was her carer.
