McNicol

[ktyreman]

Im tracing my family history , and it looks like my ancestors came from Killin, then moved to Glasgow, then moved to the North East of England.I have a forename of John he appears on the 1841 Census. I would like to hear from anyone who knows anything about the McNicols from those areas.I think John was born around the 1800s.I Would be grateful for any imformatiom . Many Thanks.

Hello ktyreman and
Since there are many, many John McNicols in the records, it would help if you could give us some more information. What is the location of the 1841 census you are referring to? What are some of the other members of the household?

Please tell us all the information you already have, so we don't duplicate your efforts. We look forward to helping you.

All the best,
Sarah

Like Sarah has kindly pointed out....more is always more when it comes to genealogy! To be sure we're talking about the right family group here we need a bit more data from you. For example...here is a John McNicol in 1851 census in Glasgow who was born in Killin about 1800. Is he the one you're referring to?
