Thomas Nesbit & family emigrated to the USA from Scotland in 1904. I have managed to track his movements up until 1930. he is living in Plymouth, Litchfield, Connecticut . Thomas is aged 77.
his son Andrew is 55 years. his daughter Elizabeth is aged 42 & married to a james murnane aged 42.
having followed Thomas from birth I would like to find out where & when he died. I would be glad of any advise as to where I could find some information.
thanks

 john forrest was named on john Fordyce's birth certificate but the name never cropped up again.
Elizabeth Fordyce married in 1871,  a coal miner - Donald McGilvary. from this marriage she had a further 4 children.
john Fordyce her son married in1891 - Elizabeth stark. they named one of their children Donald McGilvary Fordyce which suggests john thought well of his step father.
