The William George Albert Nicoll & Charlotte Rowley Family. |
William George Albert Nicoll (1879-1932)The third child of William Nicoll and Emma Swindlehurst, William George Albert Nicoll married Charlotte Luella Rowley in 1909. (The Rowley family were already twice married into the Nicoll line.) They moved into Charlotte's widowed mother's house. In this house, occupied until the middle of WWII, six children were born. They were James William b1910, Emma Margaret b1911, Joseph Rowley b1913, Mary Luella b1919, George Arthur b1921 and Harold Nelson b1926. The men of this family were all kind, gentle and good looking men. My research suggests they were very popular with the ladies. William George Albert Nicoll died young of a brain tumor in 1932. The eldest son, James took over as the head of household, but he also died young in 1940 of a kidney infection. Tragedy seemed never far from the leaders of this family. WWII saw the other three sons join the services, luckily all survived this event. |

George Arthur Nicoll's (1921 - 2005)The fifth child of William George Albert Nicoll & Charlotte Rowley, George Arthur Nicoll married Mable Margaret Cooper and lived his life in the outskirts of Toronto. Family tradition holds the belief that we are part of the McLeod Clan, and related to Dame Flora McLeod. His memory went as far back as two years old. He often spoke with fondness of the times on the farm. The depression was lessened by the lucky fact that they were farmers. They grew their food and traded wood for other needs like boots. They also had a piece of land with gravel the township purchased, at times even boarding road workers at the house. The Nicoll family was close, even with, or because of the tragedy of the senior men. George and his brother Nelson (Nels) bought bikes after the war and went on a tour of America. Art worked in the giant Morenzy mines in Arizona, USA to make some money. In about 2001, while in the hospital he actually recognized a man who had been his supervisor at the mine. Imagine a memory that went that clear that far back! George Arthur Nicoll and wife Mable have a total of 4 children: 3 girls and Lawrence Nicoll. George Arthur died in 2005. Although buried in Mississauga, he was honoured in 2006 with a military stone in his family cemetery in Bruce County so that future researchers can find his information. George remembered that his father had a touch of brogue, his grandfather a strong brogue but both lived during the life of the man who came from Scotland to homestead --Alexander Nicol (1802-1894)! §This Page Contributed by Lawrence Nicoll, 2007 |
