Hi,
   Cannot locate Mothers' names but Alexander's father was William and Thomas' father was John. In my source the spelling of Alexander's surname was NESBIT. This was confirmed by a second source.

Regards

Hi, just noticed this post.   

My Gx4 grandfather Smith McDowell also married a Nesbitt.  His second wife was Esther Nesbitt and her father was also named William.   The married in Ballymena on 8th July 1848.  I only have the civil record, no parish records but I have other family - McDowell - records for 3rd Presbyterian Ballymena.   Esther was born c. 1810 so although it's possible she was Alexander's (born c. 1838) it's a bit of a stretch.
