I too am seeking connections for Nicolson's from the Isle of Skye. The furthest back my information goes is to Donald Nicolson and Mary Lamont (Lamond) in the Bernisdale, Snizort Parish, Isle of Skye. They had at least three children in the 1830s, who all appear in the 1851 Census for Bernisdale along with their widowed mother. The entry consisted of - Mary Nicolson, head, widow, aged 59 Alexander, son, 24 Donald, son, 19 Marion, daughter 16 Would appreciate contact if this connects with anyone's research. Regards, Gordon Harbison Canton. Mich USA Sandra MacLeod wrote: > I'm seeking connections with a line of Nicolsons from Skye. The line of descent is :- > > Rev. DONALD NICOLSON, 12th.
