William Nicoll MIs Look up
« on: Sunday 01 March 15 06:31 GMT (UK) »
My gr grandfather, William Nicoll,  married Elizabeth Boyd in 1841 at I think, Mains and Strathmartine, Angus,  They had two sons, James, born 1842 and John born 1843. In the 1851 census, Elizabeth is described as a widow.  I cannot find a death date for William and wondered if anyone with access to the MIs would be able to find him.  I do not have a birth date for him, but Elizabeth was born in 1810. Any help would be much appreciated. Blinshall.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

thank you, Forfarian, for sharing this information with me.  I really appreciate the details re the Nicoll family as it fills in gaps in my Nicoll/Mackay family story which I am about to finish writing. Rootschat is a great source of knowledgable and helpful people!  Best wishes, Blinshall.
