He was born in Sydney to shipwright George Robertson Nicoll and Sarah Baird.

He worked in the family shipping office, and from 1871 ran his own service in the Northern Rivers district. On 1 March 1873 he married Jane Ann Zahel, with whom he had three sons. In 1889 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the Protectionist member for Richmond. Re-elected in 1891, he was defeated in 1894.[1]
