Slight amendment:

A quick recheck shows the cause of death to be Morbus Cordis (unknown duration) and acute bronchitis (7 days)

Death at Hartwood Asylum, Shotts.  But the entry also says "usual residence Old Monkland".  I suspect that that address is from before he was incarcerated.

i've yet to find his date of death & burial place.
Hello Margaret,

I think we've conversed on this subject elsewhere...

I've found an image of the death registration on my files.  Robert died at Hartwood Asylum (or Hartwood Hospital), Shotts on 1 Mar 1908.  The death was reported by his son Daniel Nisbet, then resident at Dykehead, Shotts.  The cause of death is recorded as Morbis Cordis.  His age is recorded on the death certificate as 68 (he was actually 69 - DoB: 5 Aug 1838).

Don't put too much emphasis on the mining accident.  The only source I have for that is my late Grandfather (Robert and Hamilton's Grandson), who wasn't born until 1906, and, until I find any corroboration, I'm classifying it as "family legend."

good luck!

Gordon
