joseph nixon died on the 17march 1927.

its so hard to do research for an area where lots and lots of paperwork have been desroyed by storms over the years.
i still really need to find out where in scotland he was born

hi the death cert has arived and as with lots of stories passed down the bit about his dying young was wrong.
joseph nixon died 1927 aged 80
which puts his date of birth aboout 1847
much earlier than i had thought.
it does not tell me his place of birth so apart from his date of birth i didnt gain much
the informant on the death cert was his house maid.
i have asked hubbys sister t try and have family find out his wifes surnamd so i can get marriage cert
odd doing other peoples research at least they know im only a amature.
