John Nicholson +Eliz.McMullen of Kilbirnie, Scotland
John Nicholson and his wife Elizabeth McMullen b 1791 in Ireland lived in Kilbirnie, Ayr, Scotland in 1841. John was a cotton hand loom weaver, and three of his five daughters worked as cotton power loom weavers in the mill. Two daughters, Elizabeth (Lawson)b 1826 and Helen (Waldron)b 1821, married in Kilbirnie, around 1844-46 and soon immigrated to Ontario, in the Mount Forest, Grey County area.
I don't know what if the parents John & Elizabeth Nicholson immigrated with them, or stayed in Kilbirnie, Scotland. Other daughters were Mary Nicholson, b. Ireland, 1816, Margaret Nicholson, b 1831, Ayr, and Jean Nicholson, b.1834 Ayr.
I think there were some Nicholson relatives in Ontario, as the Nicholson name appears as witnesses to weddings.
Does anyone have connections/info about this family?
Thank you, Mary Corcoran
