Archibald Nicol, Harbour Master, Rothesay, mid 1800's. Any information?
« on: Monday 06 August 12 15:30 BST (UK) »
People on here are capable of some wonderful tips and information, so I wonder if anyone would be able to help. I'll looking back at 'Nicol' ancestors in Bute. One specifically was harbour master in Rothesay in the 1830's, 40's and 50's. He was born Archibald Nicol in Bute in 1777, and died in the town in 1859.

Ideally, I'd appreciate any knowledge of the job in that place and at that time. Equally, if anyone has any ideas for records to browse, more specific to his job than the OPR records or census forms, that would be great.

Thanks.
