Hi Steven,

Hi tom

The two births I'm struggling to find are a brother and sister:
George Nisbet c1852 in Dirleton
Mary Nisbet c1854-7 in Haddington
Father James Nisbet
Mother Agnes Denholm

I'm also struggling to find the death of their father James, the last record of him is in prospect place, Edinburgh (canongate) aged 67 on the 1891 census.

A few generations later I can't find a death for George Nisbet who was born in Falkirk in 1901.
Father George Nisbet
Mother Jeannie (Jane) Sutherland

I believe he died young and estimate his death between 1901 and 1921 at latest

Thanks Steven

Hi Steven

The only George Nesbit death I can see on SP is the one below:
1902 NISBET George male aged 0 Muiravonside/Stirling   #486/00 0047

Although its in Stirling area, its not far from Falkirk so could this be him??

There are 2 deaths of a James Nisbet in Edinburgh that could be your man

1906 NISBET James male aged 79 St Giles Edinburg City/Midlothian #685/04 0205      
1909 NISBET James male aged 85 St George Edinburg City/Midlothian #685/01 0222

The births just might not have been registered at all.

Hope that helps
Aileen

Thanks Aileen and Tom,
I'll look up those three deaths, in particular the Muiravonside one looks promising.
Tom, thanks for the obvious time you've put in I already have most of that info but as you can see the frustrating thing is the two births which seem not to exist, doubly frustrating as George is the direct link down to me.

I'm planning on going to the GRO once the 1911 census is released if you guys need a look up let me know
