Benjamin Nesbitt family

Judy:

The 1856 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing showed that the Nesbitt family lived in Glasdrumman townland.See link below. I also found the civil death index records for Benjamin and Mary. You get copies of these records from the General Register Office for around 4 euros each. if you want to get copies let me know and I will forward instuctions.

I am interested in the nesbitt family as i am descended from Margaret Nesbitt who was Benjamin's daughter. have you any details? Thank you

Hi Judy, The Nesbitt Family as stated above were raised in the townland of Glasdrumman, Corraneary, Cootehill. The last of the family who lived there was Edwin Nesbitt, he was unmarried and died some years ago. The house and farm is now owned by his nephew. Edwin attended Corraneary Presbyterian Church but  previous generations attended Knockbride Church of Ireland.
