Searching for details of the birth and parentage of my ancestress - Margaret Nesbit born at Edinburg, the daughter of William Nesbit and his wife Janet.
Would be very interested to find her parents marriage and her birth details -
We always believed that she came from Lanarkshire, but ,thanks to Gadget,
who kindly found the proof below while searching the dickie connection - I now know that Maragert was born in Edinburgh!
She was married at Calton, Glasgow on 30th November 1860 to James Dickie -she gives her address as - 20 Great Dovehill, Glasgow. She
the 1871 census for Calton, Glasgow states that she was living at -
42 Garney/Garny Street
Husband JamesDickie, 34, plumber, b. Irvine, Ayrshire
Wife Margaret, 34, housekeeper, b. County - Midlothian, Edinburgh
the 1881 Census states that she was living at-
62 Dunchattan St, Barony
Husband Dickie James, 43, plumber, b. Irvine, Ayr
Wife Margaret, 43, b. Edinburgh and children -
janet,agnes, jemima and alexander still living at home.
Her death certificate states that she -
died on 03/04/1885 at 40 Renfield St. Glasgow, Scotland, aged 47 -
and her parents were William Nesbit and Janet
I dont have access to scotlandspeople
So any help would be appreciated greatly -
