Surnames: Nesbitt, Nisbet
Hello. I am trying to get information about my maternal grandfather. Originally born in Glasgow Scotland on Jan 19, 1890 as Thomas Urie Sutherland Nisbet.
Moved to Canada with his parents James and Jane (Sutherland) and put in an orphanage. While there his name was changed to Thomas Walter Nesbitt.
All my family birth certificates have him listed as Nesbitt, but HIS birth certificate from Scotland is listed as Nisbet. I am trying to find proof of that name change, for my purposes of securing an Ancestral Visa to the UK.
Thomas went on to have 11 children, including Rita, Barbara, Maurice, Jesse, Nelda, Marge, Ruth, and 3 other I can't remember off the top of my head.
