I am descended from Richard
Nisbet b.1815, who I believe was a brother of your William
Nisbet b.C.1810.
In the 1841 census, they are living close to each other at Plean
Muir, St. Ninian's.
When my ancestor Richard died, in 1855, the informant on his death certificate is William
Nisbet, "brother of the deceased", who states that their parents were: James
Nisbet, a
Miner, and Elizabeth
Nisbet (maiden
surname
Thomson).
In the 1851 census, William was living at West Plean. He states he is 40 years old, and was born in Falkirk. This leads back to a baptism at Falkirk on Jan 20, 1811, of William s/o James
Nisbet & Elizabeth (m.s. Thomson).
