If Alexander Nimmo was 90 years old when he died in 1858, his birth would have been in 1768. This suggests he is the son of George Nimmo, Alexander b. 1768. A son Alexander of a George Nimmo died in 1841. Clarification needed

Narrative

This is the son of Alexander Nimmo, portioner, d. 14.11.1858 age 90. Muiravonside, who was informant on his father's death certifiicate.

Narrative

He is most likely the husband of Agnes Forgie (from grandchild name structure), whose daughter Agnes married Robert Lindsay, baker of Perth (Census 1891), but may not be the same Alexander Nimmo who was married to Mary Robertson.

In other words, here is work to do to disentangle the history of possibly two Alexander Nimmo's. For example, if he was the husband of Agnes Forgie, he did not die in 1885 (see Census 1891).
