  • Notes 
    • Family #52.
      The second of Agnes Nicol’s sons to wed (though not the older) was William (b.1798) , in 1818, to a lady variously named in parish registers as Hannah, Ann or Agnes McBean, or Agnes MacBonn, McBone, McBain, even Bones. You have to realise that in Fife, a ‘bone’ in dialect is a bane: all of these spellings sound much the same. A collier in East and West Wemyss and Methilhill, he ended up as a bleacher in Kirkland. He died 3 September 1864, in Methil, of asthma, age 66. They had ten children: Agnes (b. 1819, m. Andrew Mercer) did not appear in the parish register; then Andrew b.1820 (d.inf.), Janet 1822 (m.John Suttie), Alexander 1824, Mary 1826 (m. John Galloway), William 1831 (m. Catherine Guthrie), Ann Burt 1833 (m. Henry Thomson), Margaret 1836, and Andrew Keilor 1839 (m. Jane McKay). Only the youngest two sons, William b. 1831 and Andrew Keilor b.1839, produced families. Agnes had a colourful life with the Kennoway collier, Andrew Mercer. Through a descendant (Malcolm Holt) a family tree is available (not presented here - see www​.skeyltd​.demon​.co​.uk/​fife_​gen/​index​.html ]. A daughter (Janet) of Janet and John Suttie later married Thomas Bisset, the brother of Catherine Bisset who married Alexander Dunsire b.1843. (Information from Jim Bisset).
