Nicol and Mcdonald families
« on: Thursday 12 November 15 12:37 GMT (UK) »
Please help me find info on John Nicol and Ann Mcdonald. As with my last post I'm very limited to the information that I have on them which of course, makes it rather difficult to find anything out!

All I know of is that one of their sons William Nicol had them named on his death cert. He was born roughly 1810 in Perth. He married Mary Ballingall in 1830 and then Jean Kay some years later

Interestingly, I have a McDonald connection from Perth.

Alexander McDonald b c 1809 Perth = Catherine Steedman b c 1808 Orwell, Kinross married 1834 Kirkcaldy, Fife  :-\ I don't have Alexander's parents as his son was only an in-law.

Their son John Alexander b 1846 Ceres, Fife married my 2 x g grandaunt 1873 Newcastle, Northumberland.

Thank you Ev,
I hate seeing dates for things before 1855  :) how so you find out mothers surnames and things pre 1855? The certificates that I've bought in the past that are pre 1855 all tend to be pretty limited with the info that they give out. Bit off topic but I just thought I'd ask
