Hi Can anyone find Marriage/Birth entries which would link the people listed below


Peter Nisbet    4th great-grandfather
Birth 17 JUL 1771 • , West Calder, Midlothian, Scotland
Death 1848 • Broxburn Uphall West Lothian Scotland UK

Peter Nisbet  3rd great-grandfather
Birth 1820 • Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland
Death 01 NOV 1884 • Inveresk, Midlothian, Scotland

Robert Nisbet  2nd Great Grandfather
Birth 2 NOV 1844 • Gladmuir, East, Lothain, Scotland
Death Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland

Any help would be appreciated

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

[Little Nell]

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.

I always do my own research before looking at Trees and found a mistake or 2
Mary Nisbit is not Peters daughter but illegitimate
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?

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?
