Post by: Skoosh on Monday 07 June 10 13:42 BST (UK)

Has anybody any info' on Olla (Oliver) Nicolson, born Shetland, 16 June 1828 to William Nicolson & Agnes Halcrow,  at Tronaster, Delting. In 1841 the family are at Skae, Northmavine. A merchant seaman, he had a daughter Williamina with Betsy Tulloch, daughter of Laurence Tulloch & Margaret Tulloch. Nothing more known. William & Agnes had a large family, some of whom moved to Yell, but nothing on Bayanne as to what happened to Olla. Thanks.     Skoosh.

There is an Olla Nicolson listed in the 1841 census. Resident in Northmavine and 10 years old at the time, via ScotlandsPeople.
