I did find a Michael Clifton in the LA area through a Google search while I was reading Dorinda's book. I made email contact with Dorinda but she was unwell and did not participate in any Nicolle family history discussion. As far as I know, she was unaware of her father's Forsyth family. Interestingly, his father was a musician and made his living playing in an orchestra in Ontario, Canada. I hope you are able to contact Michael. If he is interested, I would be happy to share my information. I am curious if you are a relative as well.

I have not been able to find Michael, but I was under the impression he was living in LA. Any idea? Would love to talk to him. I was unaware there was a third child. I don't recall her being mentioned in the book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920638799457751115.post-1378012991567177322015-01-20T17:10:33.237-08:002015-01-20T17:10:33.237-08:00Thank you so much, Sandra!

I am related to him through his mother, Margaret Nicolle. I was very interested to see that you have his correct information regarding his place of birth and his father. As an adult, he applied for a passport and gave his father as John Clifton and his place of birth as Chicago. It is unclear why he hid his true birth details. I received a scan of a picture of him when he was about 6 years old. The photo was taken in Monteith, Ill. He had a head of beautiful blonde curls! He did marry and may have been married twice. He was married to the actress Helen Kiely and had three children, Patricia, Michael and Dorinda. I have read Dorinda's book, "Woman in the Water" which tells of her life growing up in an old-time Hollywood family. You will find it very interesting. It is clear though that she and her brother knew very little about their father's origins. It was a wealth of information for me as the book includes pictures of other members of my Nicolle family.

His good looks can be appreciated in any century!<br />I could have sworn I read in a book once that he shot himself, which is not how he died at all. I have no idea where I read that, and for all I know, I made it up lolJessica Wahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04385533879935684021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920638799457751115.post-33639095393983245692014-04-06T11:03:04.377-07:002014-04-06T11:03:04.377-07:00wow-he is good looking!
