Nicol in Tullibody Alloa Clackmannan
My great grandfather, Robert Nicol was born in Alloa Clackmannan Scotland Dec 8, 1828.On LDS, his parents are listed as James Nicol and Mary Ferguson.They were married Feb 26, 1828 in Alloa.I wasn't able to find their parents or any siblings.
In the 1841 census, Robert Nicol abt 13 years old was living with the Dennis and Isabelle O'Brien and two children in Tullibody apparently at the time training to be a tailor.On the same census, there was a James and Mary Nicol living at another address in Tullibody.Their approximate year of birth was given as 1781 and 1791 respectively.Therefore at the time of census, they were abt 60 and 50 years old. Also there was a fifteen year old male, Thomas Nicol living with them.I don't have evidence that ties Robert Nicol to this older couple.
Is there someone who can clarify this relationship for me or who has access to 1851 census for relevant information.
