Hi Mellie,

I am also researching the surname NICOL in Banffshire, mostly around Mortlach and the surrounding area. Do you know which area your Nicols came from?

Hi Millerina

I believe Jean Nicol was born in Longside Aberdeenshire
it's the Peterkin line that she married into that were in Banff area... I've hit a brick wall with this line now.
Melanie

sorry should say Jean born abt 1827 to James Nicol and Elizabeth Kelman

Alan
Many thanks that is a brilliant new piece of information for me to follow up on.  and explains (i hope) why my Gt Grandmother had Anderson as a middle name - my Grandmother says they all Grt Granny and her 15 siblings were given names of their ancestors! - which is kind of handy!

Are you researching this name - family line at all?

Actually now looking at my notes - I dont think this is the Alexander PETERKIN i was hoping it was!
mine was born 1813 to Alexander PETERKIN and Jane MURRAY and died in 1870 in Parley.
I have his 2nd wife as Jean Nicol md Portsoy but yet to find 1st marriage - it says he was a widower on their marriage register entry.

many thanks anyway - shall keep all on file for cross reference.

Hi Alexander Peterkin and Jane Murray were my ancestors. I have Alexander Peterkin their son b.1813. married Jane Nicol in Portsoy 1858. I'm descended from their daughter Jean b.1807 who married a George Muiry. The Peterkin's had been in the area for a long time, I have them back as far as James Peterkin born circa 1650.
