Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has researched the Nichol family in India during the 1800s and early 1900s
I was especially wondering if anyone had any information or could point me in the right direction with a gentleman I believe to be my 4 x GGrandfather. William Nichol.
The only information I have is from a record of birth for his son John Henry Nichol (b.1840 Karnal, Bengal) which states JHN was baptised 24th Dec 1840 to William Nichol (Pvt 44th Regiment of Foot) and his wife Charlotte. I am struggling to find anything on William and his wife.
One thought I did have is that the 44th Regiment of Foot was involved in the First Afghan War in 1841-42, and its possible William could have been killed.
Anyone researching Nichol in India?
