Ayrshire / Claud Nimmo
« on: Friday 14 October 05 23:41 BST (UK)  »
Two brothers, named John and William NIMMO, both had sons named Claud NIMMO born at Sorn in 1790.  The brother's father's name was Claud NIMMO and he was born 25/11/1742 at Sorn.  A Claud NIMMO married on 16/07/1830 in Sorn.  I am not sure if the Claud who married in 1830 was the son, grandson, or possibly even nephew or Great Nephew of John and/or William.  Any information enabling me to trace the link between the younger and older Claud NIMMOs would be greatly appreciated.

Ayrshire / Re: OFFER MI AYRSHIRE

Bob, I don't have any requests about MIs at the moment, but could have soon if you are able to help me with some local knowledge.  I am trying to trace my wife's family, and I'm getting stuck with locations.  The 1901 Census gives relatives as living  at Boyd Street (at least I think that is what it says) Loudoun, but a slightly later Marriage Certificate gives the address as Boyd Street (definitely) Galston. 
From your local knowledge could you tell me if these are the same street?  I can't find Loudoun on Autoroute, but it does show Loudoun Golf Club as quite close to Galston.
I am also having problems with the fact that the Census shows a place of birth as Catrine, but there are no records of any births of anybody with that name being born at the corresponding time.  There are however 2 births with the correct name, and withing the right time period in Sorn.  I know Sorn and Catrine are fairly close together, so do you think it likely that a person born around 875 in Sorn, could give there place of birth as Catrine on a Census form?  I also have a Birth Certificate from 1899 showing the address as Brewland Street, Galston, which is again not far from Boyd Street.  As you can see, if I can identify the locations correctly, I could well be coming back to you to check for MIs.
Hope you can help me,
Regards,
MalcolmS60.
