Peter Nesbitt death 1945


Peter Nesbitt, my great grandfather, was recorded as Peter Ignatius Nesbitt on his death certificate in 1945. This was the first mention of a middle name in any documents I have found. Note the number of children that he and Mary Ann Toole had together - 4 having died before they left Liverpool to emigrate to Australia. He fell from a mast according to legend and broke his back. From about 1913 or so he walked only with the aid of calipers.
