'Armorials' reports that "It is not known from which branch of the various English families of Nicholl or Nicoll the Jersey branch descends, although the ancient arms assimilate somewhat closely to those of Nicholl, of Walden, co. Essex, whose pedigree commences with John Nichole, 31 Edward I." This family's arms are described as "Vert, three escallops, or" whilst the "Ancient arms of Nicholl, of Essex", are described as "Argent, a pheon sable, on a canton, a bird of the field, beaked, or".
