It looks like Robert Nimmo, and Elizabeth Gordon's, last child Elizabeth Nimmo, was born 31/July/1863. Calton, Glasgow. Calton, and Springburn, are very close to each other so it may be worth your while looking at the above death. Regards, Jonn.

Andrew, Here is your Thomas in the 1841 census with a son John still at home. This census info is from http://www.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl To find siblings, you would need to check the death registers for RONIE/RONNEY/ROMNY/ROWNEY/ROANEY etc who were born in Ireland.
