Agnes Darling and Peter Nisbet
« on: Sunday 24 September 17 11:47 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I'm looking for any information on the parentage and family of Peter Nisbet and Agnes Darling who married 1799 Duns, Berwickshire.
These children were baptised Garvald:
David 1801
John 1803
Robert 1805
Alexander 1811
and at Haddington
Adam 1813
William 1816
Margaret 1820

Any information would be much appreciated.

Did they both die before 1855?  If not - their death certs should show parentage

1851 has a Peter Nisbet 74 b East Lothian with son & daughter in law George and Isabella Nisbet

The 1861 has an 85yr old Peter Nisbet b Haddington living with his daughter in law Isabella

Looks like Agnes died before 1851 but you should be able to download Peters death cert from Scotlands People

Thank you both. It appears that the Peter living with his son in 1851 is a different Peter to the one living with his wife and daughter in 1841. The 1841 Peter must be  the 'right' Peter I think.

Yes it looks like it to me;

The George with a Father Peter in 1851 Census was born c 1803 Eyemouth, Berwickshire.
His Parents look to be Peter Nibet and Jean Blair, his Bapt is on Anc.   

Here is the 1841 for that Peter in Berwickshire;
Peter Nisbet   65 Constable
Geo Nisbet   35
Eliza Nisbet   30
Peter Nisbet   10
John Nisbet   8
Janet Nisbet   6
Jane Nisbet   4
Margt Nisbet

Thank you - that certainly eliminates Peter, the father of George!

Thanks to another researcher, I now know the parents of Agnes Darling: Margaret Liddel 1748- 1819 and David Darling 1753 - 1808, a shepherd working at Dunse Castle;both buried Bunkle and Preston (The session Book of Bunkle and Preston).
I think Margaret was born 1748 to a Patrick Lidell of Cranshaws; siblings James 1743, Alexander 1745
William 1748.
