Colin,
From the 1871 Census I have a family in the village of Lyth, Bower. They are as follows
David Nicolson Head Mar 40 Farm Servant
Elizabeth Nicolson Wife Mar 36
William Nicolson Son 10 David Nicolson Son 4
Jane B. Nicolson Dau 1
This may be the family you are looking for
Hope this helps
Bill Mackay
