Andrew Nicoll Margaret Sim
« on: Thursday 11 October 18 03:05 BST (UK) »
Looking for any information on Andrew Nicoll (Nichol) and Margaret Sim (Sime Syme) to tie up some more loose ends

What I do have is Andrew is the son of Andrew and Ann Nicoll ms Nicoll b 1856 and married Margaret Sim in 1881 in Barry Angus Scotland They had 5 children between 1883 and 1889 all born Dundee

Margaret 1883
Annie 1884
Andrew 1885
Susan 1888
Agnes 1889

Margaret Sim was born c 1854 in Carmylie Angus parents John Sim and Margaret Fleming

I have found the family emigrating  to Canada arriving in 1915 at Quebec on board the Scandinavion and in the 1916 Canadian Census in Manitobia https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KMPW-TDT
and the death of their son Andrew in 1958 in Burnaby British Columbia wife Elizabeth Dobbie
Thanks

THe Manitoba index has the marriage of Andrew Nicoll and Elizabeth Dobbie in Winnipeg on 24/09/1919.

There is also a marriage for an Agnes Aime Nicoll to Thomas Moir Morrison in Winnipeg on 25/10/1917

There are a couple of possibilities for Margaret.

Winnipeg Free Press on July 20, 1925....a very short obituary for Andrew Nicoll.  He was 69, lived at 343 Bartlett Ave.  He died on July 15, 1925.  No family members are mentioned.  Says he will be interred in Elmwood Cemetery.

Found an obituary in the Winnipeg Free Press for Mrs Agnes Sime Morrison (so the Manitoba Vital Statistics site is incorrect in saying Aime)... she died April 25 1957 at Grace hospital.  She was 67 years old.  Her address had been 1163 Ingersoll St.  She is survived by husband Thomas Moir, one daughter Mrs George Harris and one son Colin, two sisters - Mrs Samuel Millar and Mrs R Foster, one brother Andrew Nicoll and two grandchildren.  Interment Elmwood Cemetery. 

Winnipeg Free Press April 25 1957 page 6
