Did Robert die in Scotland? Perhaps 1916 or 1931? Do you have the certificate which should name both his parents. Similarly for Peter who died in 1884.

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk is the site to use for BMD info. It is a pay per view site but the index is free to search
1844 birth entry for Robert shows both parents names & mothers maiden name
Peters 1884 death entry gives his mothers maiden name
-
According to ScotlandsPeople, Robert Nisbet was born 23 Nov 1844 Gladsmuir to Peter Nisbet & Ann Horsburgh. They married in Pencaitland 26 March 1840. This Robert died in 1931
The age for Peter who died in 1884 is given as 60 on the ScotlandsPeople index. His mother's maiden name may have been Ramage.

Makes sense if you look at his marriage dates.

Also if Peter was born c 1821 then if his Father was Peter born 1771 he would be 50 when Peter Jnr was born.
I cant see a c 1821 bapt for Peter with my resources but you may find something on scotlandspeople.
Have said that if Peter Snr was born c 1771 the Marriage entry may explain why he married late in life;
Going from Trees he married Marion;
On FreeRG

Something wrong here but have to sign out so posting and will come back to it in a day or so!
(unless someone else figures it out sooner? :))
1851 Census
High St, Dunbar
East Lothian
Peter Neshit 68 Head Shoemaker
May Herkes 63 Wife
Peter Neshit 36 Son
John Neshit 28 Son
Carles Nesbit 24 Son
Agnes Neshit 21 Daughter
George Neshit 8 Grandson
So who is this Peter as yours was married to Mary Scott in 1851 Census

I'm getting a bit confused by this thread.
You say that Robert b 1844 died in Edinburgh. In what year did he die, and what was the name of his wife? What were the names of his children, and which one are you descended from?
You also say that Peter b 1820 died in 1884. The only adult Peter Nisbet whose death was registered in 1884 was aged 60, and his mother's maiden surname was Ramage.
Ann Horsburgh's son Robert, baptised 1844, died in 1931 aged 87.
So you need to resolve the disparity in the names of the mothers.
Have you seen Peter's 1884 death certificate?
-
Yep I am confused too Forfarian and too late for my brain to work now. :)
Logging out :)

Indeed.
There are four deaths of Robert Nisbets born 1844 plus or minus 3 years. See screenshot. Before going any further back we need to know which of these is the one WAND is descended from.
