Hi,

I am researching my family tree and wonder if William Nesbitt had a son in 1852 called Alexander Nesbitt died 7th April 1941 in Dublin. He was married to Elizabeth George.

Hi,

I have been reading a book of my relatives who owned Arnotts Department Store until 2007 crash.

The book states that Wm Ruddell Tobacco East Wall Street was aquired by my great grandfather Alexander Nesbitt (Chairman of Arnotts) for his Son William Nesbitt in 1907. When William suceeded his father the business was passed to his brother (my grandfather) Sydney Maurice Nesbitt in 1924. He died in 1955. I heard stories on how he used to go to America as owner of a Tobacco Manufacturers and hob knob with directors of Imperial Tobacco etc.

 I recall my uncle (William Nesbitt)  taking me to the factory in Dublin in 1963 when I was 6. From what I remember the factory was also producing a line in wheelbarrows!!

Anyone got any more on this.
