 Classification: Biography
 Surnames: NICOLSON, GRAY, MURRAY
 Scotlands People shows that Thomas Nicolson and Margaret Gray married in 1827:in Unst:
 01/02/1827 NICOLSON THOMAS MARGARET GRAY/ M UNST /SHETLAND 011/00 0020 0120
  Births include:
 William Nicolson, 01/01/1827 Unst, parents Thomas Nicolson and Margaret Gray
 David Nicolson, 27/08/1829 Unst, parents Thomas Nicolson
 John Nicolson, 01/01/1833 Unst, parents Thomas Nicolson
 Margaret Ursula Nicolson, 25/10/1835 Unst, parents Thomas Nicolson and Margt Gray
 Robert Bruce Nicolson, 10/08/1838 Unst, parents Thomas Nicolson
 Thomas Cameron Nicolson, 29/07/1840 Unst, parents Thomas Nicolson
 Anne Cameron Nicolson, 05/07/1842 Unst, parents Thomas Nicolson
  A possible match in the 1841 Scotland census:
 Name: Thomas Nicolson
 Age: 40
 Estimated birth year: abt 1801
 Where born: Orkney and Shetland, Scotland
 Civil Parish: Unst
 County: Orkney and Shetland
 Address: Voesgarth
 Occupation: Mer S
 Household Members:
 Name Age
 Thomas Nicolson 40
 Margaret Nicolson 35
 William Nicolson 13
 David Nicolson 11
 Gilbert Nicolson 9
 John Nicolson 7
 Ursula Nicolson 5
 Robert Nicolson 3
 Thomas Nicolson 1
  Thomas may have died before 1851, as Margaret is the head of household, living at Lerwick, on Post Office Close, with children John, Ursula, Thomas and Ann, in the 1851 Scotland census.

 Voesgarth seems to be tiny - see http://www.britishplacenames.co.uk/hp6108-voesgarth-shetland...
 http://pa.shetland.gov.uk/online-applications/propertyDetail...
  Tracing the family, it looks as if William Nicolson born 1827 Unst became a Congregationalist Minister. In the 1901 Scotland census, he is living at 153 Dalkeith Road in Edinburgh with his wife Mary M., born c 1840 in England, and his sister Margaret Ursula Nicolson born 1840 Unst. The household includes William and Mary M. Nicolson's daughter, Winifred U. Nicolson, who was born 1882 in Russia.
  This seems to be:
 Name: Winifred Ursula Rev Nicolson
 Event Type: Baptism
 Christening Date: 12 May 1881
 Christening Place: St Petersburg, Russia
 Father's Name: William Rev Nicolson
 Mother's Name: Mary
 (England and Wales, Non-Conformist Record Indexes, in Family Search)
  Searching for other births to William and Mary Nicolson in Russia brings up this record, which gives Mary's maiden name as Murray:
 Name: William Lindsay Alexander Nicolson
 Event Type: Baptism
 Christening Date: 24 Mar 1875
 Christening Place: St Petersburg, Russia
 Father's Name: William Nicolson
 Mother's Name: Mary Murray
 (England and Wales, Non-Conformist Record Indexes, in Family Search)
  And also this record:
 Name: George Bell Nicolson
 Event Type: Baptism
 Christening Date: 25 Nov 1873
 Christening Place: St Petersburg, Russia
 Father's Name: William Nicolson
 Mother's Name: Mary
 (England and Wales, Non-Conformist Record Indexes, in Family Search)
  It seems that Rev. Nicolson was serving in Amble, Northumberland, England, before he was posted as a missionary to St. Petersburg about 1869.
  I hope some of this information is useful to you.
  kind regards,
 Rosemary
