Thanks fiona, I have been looking at a couple of trees on Genes Reunited with Finlays. Johns, etc. I will have a good look at my notes and cross reference with what I can see on Scotlands People.
One thing I would love  to know is whether there are any birth records for Edinburgh not online, which I've not searched.
Finlay, Margaret, Katharine, Christina, John and Marion McNicol are six children of John McNicol and Margaret Logan. The children are shown as born in Edinburgh on the 1841 census, their parents just Scotland. We've never found their births, just John and Margarets marriage in 1829.
Sadly I fear the births may not have been registered. Would Queensferry be classed as Edinburgh? My grandparents talked about finlay being born there in 1829.
Many thanks.
Kate

Finlay , who died in Liverpool aged 1 was the third son of Finlay McNicol. Other brothers were  William,  John Finlay Robert and James.. Robert went to Townsville in 1885, William  died as a small child. John died in 1889 aged 30, having married Ann Fazackerley, leaving just my great grandfather James in Liverpool.
This Finlays's parents were John McNicol and Margaret Logan who married in Edinburgh in 1829 and are shown here in 1841 with Finlay, a brother and four sisters.
