 I am researching the following people who were born in Edinburgh

Helen Williamson b 1846

Agnes Davidson b 1847

Both these were wives of John Ross Nimmo b1843

John's parents were James Nimmo c1816 and Elizabeth Auld.

Elizabeth's Father was John

James's mother was Margaret she possibly had another son Andrew c1816

Any help greatly appreciated
