Hi,Thankyou for your reply.My ancestor was James Nichol My great grandfather x2 and he married Dorothy Redpath.It appears that most of Nichol family were baptised at the Falstone Presbyterian Church Northumberland however I believe he was born in Downham Northumberland.His mother Mary was born about 1770 in Lanton Northumberland and I believe his fathers name was Robert Nichol.One of the family Thomas Nichol ran the sawmill in Selkirkhe married Janet Hepburn and family members resided there also and later resided in East Lothian area also.He later resided at Gifford East Lothian .They resided on the estate of the Marquis of Tweeddale namely Gamelston Post.They emigrated to Australia in 1854 with their daughter Marjory who was born in 1853.His brother Adam also emigrated to Australia.There was association with the Tallister mine here. I will advise dates that I have soon as I have some documentation but not right on hand at the moment.I am also still seeking dates and links in England and Scotland but I have quite a bit of information concerning my family in Australia as I have the family bibles. Hope to hear from you.Regards Michele.
