I'm trying to find the death date or MI (if any) of George LESLIE and his wife Helen LESLIE who would have died in ROTHES around 1782-1820. Can anyone suggest any online resources please? Thanks

Hi Simon,
The main online resource for Moray I would say is http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp
A quick search didn't turn up anything but it might be worth a proper look as there are quite a few entries for Leslies :)
Also have you seen this? http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/families/leslies_rothes.htm

Hi, I'm just new but I discovered this site, it may be of help to you:
www.talkingscot.com
Go to Sources; "Links" - go down list on right to the bottom and click on "The Moray Burial Ground Research Group". Check it out send a message and sit back and wait. ::) It's run by volunteers and I havent heard back yet. You may even be able to find the family as I did too.
I have family in the Rothes cemetery too...Younie.

Hello Simon
Can't find the in the Rothes MIs. Perhaps there isn't a headstone.
Best wishes

As there isn't anything in http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp there wasn't an easily legible headstone when the kirkyard was surveyed in 1978/9.
There isn't anything in the old Speyside MI books either.
The Moray Burial Grounds Reaserch Group may eventually find some hitherto unrecorded stones, but as far as I know they have not tackled Rothes yet.
The burial ground lair book doesn't go back as far as the 1820s.
The Rothes parish register contains lists of mortcloth fees paid in but I've extracted all the Leslies from that and have not (so far) been able to match them with certainty to George and Helen.
