I have been trying to find a Birth Certificate for James Noble Nesbitt. One I sent for was the wrong one, wrong parents and another one I sent for they could not find although they searched 1846-1848. I also rang Newcastle on Tyne Registrar but they could not find him. They said he might have been born North Newcastle. I have him on the 1851 Census also on the 1861 Census. I have his Marriage Cert. which states his father was William Noble Nesbitt. But no sign of the elusive Birth Cert. Anyone got any ideas. His father was born at Alnwick Northumberland, not quite sure about his mother except she was called Barbara. Richard in Perth suggested it might be Weightman as on 1841 it does seem to be them. I sent for a birth cert saying that the mother might have been Weightman but they could not find him. So I am stuck Marina

He may not have been registered. It wasn't compulsory until 1875.

Have you tried the IGI just in case it comes up?

Thanks OrangeBlossom. At that rate is there no way of finding his mothers maiden name then. Marina

What's his mothers first name supposed to be? There is this marriage....

There is this entry on the IGI but it was submitted by a member of the LDS church... James Noble Nesbitt Male Event(s): Birth: 1847 <Seghill, Northumberland, England> Christening: Death: Before SEP 1900 Burial: Parents: Father: William Noble Nesbitt Mother: Barbara Georgina.

OrangeBlossom. His mothers first name is Barbara as I have her death certificate. Thanks Marina

Heather have tried IGI On there it states he was born 1847 Seghill Northumberland. Thanks Marina

Thanks Georgina but have already tried that. Marina

hiya, did he have anyother siblings born post 1837, that you could order a cert for to get MMN?? HTH Julie

Had a google for Northhumberland parish records. Not sure if this weblink with come out www(.)genealogylinks(.)net/uk/england/northumberland/index.html remove brackets

Julie, Unfortunately he didn't have any other brothers or sisters. He is on the 1861 Census age 13 Father William Noble Nesbitt Mother Barbara. It states he was born at Newcastle but they cannot find him. Marina

Thanks Selena Its a big site so will go through it later.

Not certain whether you have considered this birth?: James Nesbitt Alnwick Oct- Dec quarter 1847 Vol xxv page 218 Denis

Or these? Births Mar 1846 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nesbitt James Berwick 25 __ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Jun 1846 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nesbitt James Sunderland 24 317

Thanks Denis and Selina, The one at Alnwick may be a possibility although it says on th 1851 and 1861 that he was born at Newcastle. Anyway thanks will have a look. Marina

Where was Barbara born? - she might have gone to her mother's for her confinement. Jay
