Yeah, as Nelson is a skill and knowledge-heavy bard, James Heard has been playing the character as though he knows just a whole bunch of useless trivia, especially in regards to the town and the surrounding environs.
This is actually something that I'm quite open to for everyone, if it helps flesh out your character, your posts, and the town of Seawell. If you mention new NPCs, places of business, past events... all to help flesh out our story... that is completely fine. Go for it. Nelson does it a lot being a bard, but the rest of you can do it as well. There are very few things that are "canon" as it were, and that's all stuff that either appears in the game thread or in the character bios.
