I am a direct descendant of William and Catherine and would like to share what information I have.

Hi William Nisbet and Catherine Paterson were my 3xgt grandparents. Their son, Robert,was my 2xgt grandfather and his son, William my gt grandfather. There were other children born in Falkirk parish - James in 1808 and Henry in 1810 before they moved to Old Monkland. A further child, Thomas, was born around 1821,but his baptism was never recorded. William died in about 1834 and Catherine about 1848.
I would love to share the information I have on the family.

Fantastic, William was my 4Th Gt Grandfather, his son Thomas my 3rd Gt Grandfather, his son John my 2ND Gt Grandfather, who moved from Uphall West Lothian to Prestonpans, his son John who married Helen Deans Fraser was my Great Grandfather, his son John was my Grandfather who moved from Prestonpans, East Lothian to Musselburgh, his son James was my father. What a small world. If you want I can share my tree which is on Ancestry, called James Anthony Nisbet tree.

I would love to share your tree information as I have been collecting Nisbets for many years. William & Catherine moved from Falkirk to Old Monkland, presumably for work, just before William was born. I don't know what happened with their first two sons, but since another two sons bear the same names I assume they must have died. When I don't know and have been trying to find out if they died in Falkirk or when they came to Old Monkland.
Best regards

I've had a lot of help from a lady called Jean Skar who also does a lot of work for the Nisbet magazine and what she doesn't know about the Nisbet's isn't worth knowing. As well as Ancestry we have put a lot of information on WikeTree. If you have good information that William was from the Falkirk area, it may be possible that his tree went back towards Bo'ness, if so there is about 3 generations going back.
What's strange is that I have moved from Musselburgh to Bo'ness, the first person I came across when I started looking for our line, was a James Nisbet who was a writer (lawyer) in Bo'ness, 1691.
Where have you got a lot of your information from, I generally use various web sites, but I find more going into Edinburgh to the records office.

Gainsborough's blue boy was once owned by Nesbitts..
I remember from clicking on stuff I can across a book "The Book of the Nesbitts" which had a huge Genealogy of them incuding those in Ireland.

The publication from the Nesbit Society states that William Nisbet & Catherine Paterson had two children James bap 24/04/1808, and Henry bap 15/04/1810 both Falkirk in Vol3 although there is no marriage stated for them. In vol1 it lists some of the children ie William, Robert, Richard , Andrew, James,Agnes and Henry.
I am afraid I do not take these volumes too literally as I have found some discrepancies in them.
I do believe William & Catherine had these two boys in Falkirk as they followed the naming patterns and James was William's father and Henry was Catherine's.
I have taken my research back to the 1600's and you are right that William's line stays in that area.
Best regards

SP's index lists James, 1808; Henry, 1810; Robert, 1814; Richard, 1816; Andrew, 1819; James, 1825; Agnes, 1827; and Henry, 1835. The first two in Falkirk and the rest in Old Monkland.
It looks as if the second Henry died in Cambusnethan in 1859, aged 24.
