nicolsons ..sleat isle of skye
« on: Thursday 05 June 14 15:18 BST (UK) »
Hi all
I have been trying to trace  my ancestors and have managed to get back to mid 17th cen. I wondered if anyone had any other info I could add to my tree. This is a general run down of grandparents. Would love to know who their siblings were.
Neil Nicolson (grand father)1925-1986
Lachlan Nicolson 1884 wed Kate MacInnes
Colin Nicolson 1856 wed  Christina Robertson
Lachlan Nicolson 1805 wed  Mary McClure
Alexander Nicolson 1780 wed Mary Beaton.

mostly all from sleat..ardvasar..kilmore.
many thanks.

Maybe some clash with other people's research and trees...

The one tree I am looking at has:

Colin Nicolson b. 30 Jul 1851, d. 9 Mar 1936 in Teangue, Sleat/Skye m. Christina Robertson b. 25 Jan 1865 in Sasaig, Sleat/Skye.

A number of their children listed. Your line, Lachlan, b. 20 Sep 1893 in Sasaig, Sleat/Skye. Married Kate McInnes (b. 21 Jan 1897 in Kilmore, Sleat) on 18 May 1923.

From same source (fam. tree):

Lachlan Nicolson 1808 – 1885 and Mary MacLure 1812 – 1904

Siblings etc. linked to these lines.

You should be able to access the same family tree on this beta site www.mundia.com/gb/

I haven't used this particular site but it has the same trees. You could try sending the tree owner a message to try and check sources and compare info. It is free to register and use.

What I know is ..
Alexander Nicolson b1780? wed Mary Beaton b 1785? Both fro sleat in Skye. They had 6 children who I know of. would love to try and get either of their parents names.
I have looked at other trees also.
Any help would be great.

Still trying to trace info for Alexander Nicolson and Mary Beaton b around 1775/85. If I could find their birth, marriage,death cert it would be great . I have only been doing this for a few months and have found many relatives , mostly with help from you great people on here.
MonicaL...I looked at that link and now in touch with relative from way down the line. Thanks.
I tried SP but no joy and no one seems to have any further info on their tree...
Would there be a paper trail in Skye in late 17th cent ???
many thanks :D
