Note 2. Jeannie Nicol died only a few days after the birth of her first child Jeannie Nicol Hope. The baby was then looked after by her maternal Grandparents Robert Nicol and Jessie Learmonth. They lived at Linden House in the High Street of Innerleithen, Peeblesshire. Jeannie N. Hope can be found there in the 1871/81/91/1901 census. In the latter she was twentynine years old. What happened next – where did she go? Did she emigrate with perhaps members of the Nicol/Learmonth/Cairns dynasty?
Jeannie Nicol (1844-1870) had four sisters – Janet Nicol (1845-1911) married her cousin Archibald Nicol, Christine Nicol (1847-1863) Georgina L Nicol (1856-1863) and Helen Elliot Nicol b1852.
