One of those Nicholas II's should be a Nicholas I, obviously ;)

Genealogy is hard!

I probably have dnb access - what is it? ;)

Bah - it is extra confusing because I thought Bahamas Trott was older, which wouldn't make sense if he was the nephew... In fact that page lists *both* the Nicholas Trotts as being Governor of the Bahamas o_O

No, Bahamas Trott is the uncle ...

The DNB is the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. I have just emailed you the entry.

That makes more sense! Thanks a bunch Steve!

I still wish I knew a bit more about Bahamas Trott, but is fun to see Colonel Rhett's name turn up again. Although the entry lits him as a firm proprietary supporter, that is mostly because they were really weak at actually exerting power in the colony, so he could better get away with being shifty. There is a great quote about him saying he will "wipe his arse" with one of their decrees :V

Glad to be able to help. The DNB is a really neat source of info on British people, and I'm sure you do have access.
