Al,
Familysearch is down at present so I can't search just now.
Could it be that the entry on the death cert is incorrect? It does happen 
Perhaps John (father of John and grandfather of Alexander) might have had John with Jean NICHOL, then Jean died and John snr married Margaret STEEL. If this were the case, the informant might not have known that there had been a previous wife??

Sorry Al, had FamilySearch been up, I would have seen the two entries. So it's clearly just a coincidence.
Alexander's middle name of Nicoll might have come from a more distant relative, or a friend of his parents, or the minister, or ....
The parentage of Alexander's father, John CRICHTON as given on the death cert (i.e. mother Margaret STEEL) is right as is shown by John's birthplace of Airlie (on the 1851 census information provided by Dorothy earlier in this thread); John CRICHTON b 1798 with mother Jean NICOLL, was, on the other hand, bap Dundee according to the IGI.
John CRICHTON m Margaret STEEL, 14 Apr 1782, Airlie
They had, all extracted entries, all spelled CRICHTON, and all in Airlie:
Issabel, bap 17 Mar 1783
Elisabeth, bap 5 Apr 1784
Agnes, bap 2 May 1785
Margaret, bap 28 Jan 1787
William, bap 27 Jun 1797
John, bap 29 Jun 1799
George, bap 4 Dec 1800
(Another of those families with an unexplained gap - this time from 1787 to 1799).

Hi Annie,
23€ is about US$28 or 15 quid. The units are valid for 1 year and they charge 1 unit for each name in the document. My guess is that un acte de naturalisation would have 3 or 4 names (the individual, parents and possibly the wife if naturalisation was being sought through marriage). This means that 23€ would buy access to 10-15 documents, on a par with Scotlandspeople's costs and much cheaper than a priority certificate from the GRO (sorry Annie, couldn't resist slipping that one in ).
Let me know when you get yourself organised with your French ancestors and I'll let you know when I have my units from Votre Nom dans L'Histoire.
Regards,
Al
