Who was Jemima Nicholas?
Jemima Nicholas, also known as Jemima Fawr, was a Welsh heroine during the Battle of Fishguard. Armed with only a pitchfork, she single-handedly rounded up 12 French soldiers when they were drunk; they surrendered shortly afterwards at the Royal Oak.
She died at the age of 82, and a plaque in Fishguard is dedicated to her.
In 2006 at the records office in Haverfordwest records were found by a local College lecturer, Andrew Thomas of Thornton, Milford Haven, which show a Jemima Nicholas being baptised in the parish of Mathry on 2 March 1755.
