I am looking for more information on Mary Nisbett (siblings, parents), who was born in Gosforth, Northumberland, England abt. 1750. She married Henry Clasper, also from Northumberland. If anyone has information on Henry's parents or siblings, that would also be appreciated. They were married 6 May 1700 in Gosforth, Northumberland, England.
If it helps, they moved to Setvenston, Ayrshire, Scotland, which explains where my ancestors came from.
Any leads would be appreciated.

Hello Tom,

I am also searching the Mary Nisbett & Henry Clasper you mentionned. Do you have any info on them yet? I have some info on the children of this couple. Do you need any of it?

Sincerely,
Sandra

Yes. I have gathered some information. Check out: http://www.johnbage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/

This site lists 5 childern of Henry and Mary. Henry (1775), James (1778), Mary (1781), Thomas (1783), and Isabella (1786). I am a decendant of James and have information for that part of the tree.

What I really would like to get is information on:
1. decendants of the other children.
2. siblings of Henry or Mary.
3. parents of Henry or Mary.

Thanks,
TC

Hello Lisa,

Their known children are:
Henry Clasper born 16 Sep `775 Newcastle upon Tyne
James " " 6 Sep 1778 Boldon, Durham
Mary " " 25 Mar 1781 " "
Tlhomas " " 1 Jul 1783 Hylton, Monkwearmouth
Isabella " Chr. 24 Apr 1786 "
Jane " Bur. 29 Jul 1791
John ' " 14 Dec 1788

I know nothing about Mary Nesbitt's Chr., parents or siblings.

Do you know anything about her?

Sincerely,
Sandra
