Robert Hall Nichol of Hayden Bridge, Northumberland, 1820
Am trying to find birth records of a Robert Hall Nichol, born in Hayden Bridge, Northumberland, England, in about 1820/22 In his marriage cert. It states that his father was called Robert and was a farmer. The term farmer covers a multitude of sins, covering every trade that can be done on a farm; from a shepherd up to owning a farm! I have a sneaking suspicion that his father and brothers were shepherds and that his mothers maiden name was Ann English.
Robert was my gr.gr.grandfather and he became a ships captain and died in 1873 in Pernambuco, Brazil, aged probably 55. I cannot further my research untill I can nail down his birth records and in doing so, confirm his parents.
So is there anyone out there who is able to help. I await your replies. Thankyou. Regards David Nichol
