I am researching my gggg-grandfather Robert Nimmo and family from Auchenblaine, Kirkoswald parish, Ayrshire, Scotland.

Robert married Jean Nimmo (a cousin?) in 1756 and died in 1806. He had several daughters including Agnes, Abigail, Jean, Helen and Charlotte. Abigail married David Ramsay in 1787. Agnes married John Key in 1788. Charlotte married John Ramsay in 1805. The name Key later became Kay.

Another Robert Nimmo, also from Auchenblaine, was buried at Kirkmichael, Ayrshire. Janet Nimmo, who I guess was his daughter, was also buried there with her husband Thomas Stewart. They married in 1744. The gravestone reads as follows:

Here lyes the corps of Janet Nimmo 29.3.175(?4) age 25, she was bu(?ried) hier, husband Thomas Stewart late in Kilmor, . . . . (illegible) Robert Nimmo, Auchenblain, beloved & also much lamented in death. Also the corps of Alexander Stewart her son died 22.11.1751 5 years. Also other three sons of said Thomas Stewart and Janet Cowan his spouse.
(On the west side) In Memory of Mr Robert & William Stewart, sons of the late Thomas Stewart late in Killmor . . . . . . (illegible) Killmor, merchant in Jamaica and died the . . . (illegible)

If you have any information about the Nimmos, please contact me.
