NIMMO ancestors Polmont area.

[David Little]

My ancestors were William NIMMO, born 1827 in Polmont, Stirlingshire, and Agnes EMSLIE, also born in 1827, but in Linlithgow.

They were married in Muiravonside on 26 November 1847.

William NIMMO died at a village or settlement called "Loan", situated between Polmont and Linlithgow on 12 July 1903.

My Scots Grandmother's full maiden name was: Agnes Baxter Emslie NIMMO. She descended from William and Agnes.

Can anyone please advise me who were the parents of William NIMMO?

As I live in New Zealand, I am not familiar with the Stirlingshire region.

Thank you

David Little

Hello Christina
Thank you for your reply. My "William NIMMO" ancestor I mentioned above was born during 1827 in Polmont, and he died on 12 July 1903.
I am not seeking a "William NIMMO baptism 3 Dec 1928".

Thank you

That's a typo it is meant as 1828.

There is a lot of info on Ancestry regarding these people.A tree and photos of gravestones also census .

If you aren't a member of Ancestry you can access the site at a library.

Born 24 Nov 1826, baptised 3rd Dec 1826.

Whoops, double posting!

Have you looked at William's death certificate? It should show his parents.
You can buy a pdf from Scotlands People HERE (https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/) for a small fee.

There's a article about using SP HERE (https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/), and others on Scottish Genealogy in the same place.

David, remember that dates (and spellings) in Scotland at that time could be fuzzy. Birth registration wasn't brought in until 1855, and we generally rely on baptism records unless the Minister recorded the date of birth as well.
