dear listers: I am trying to find if the THOMAS NICOLL who was interred at Howff, and had died January 1841 age 82, was my ancestor. "My" Thomas Nicoll I believe was married to JEAN CHALMERS in 1785 at Dundee and they had 8 children born to them. Their first child was William born 1786, then Thomas, Jean, James, James #2, Janet, George and William Reid Nicoll in 1804. Son James became a "blockmaker" also in Dundee, marrying first Margt Robertson then Helen Scott. On the Friends of Dundee City Archives listing of Howff internements, "Thomas Nicoll, Blockmaker", was said to be born at "Rhind" which i assume is Rhynd, Perth? I cannot find any evidence of his birth at Perthshire, in years about 1759 or any "Thomas' born to a "William" in Perth at Rhynd. In the online Index to "Book of Perth" there is mention of a "Thomas Nicol, son of William" on "page 209". I am wondering if it is possible to view this page? or could SKS do this for me? Maybe someone can enlighten me on the contents of this book...does it deal with ancient years before 1800? thanks for your help and looking forward to your ideas on my problem, Liz of BC Canada
