Title: Andrew Smith's children
Post by: Fife Lass on Sunday 10 February 08 21:15 GMT (UK)

My GG grandfather, Andrew Smith, had 20 children. I've been able to trace details for 16 of them but have been unable to find dates of death for the following -

John Smith.  Born 27/09/1861 in Cupar, Fife.
The latest details I have been able to find for him is a 1871 census entry in Cupar,Fife.

Agnes Smith. Born 28/11/1862 in Cupar, Fife.
Latest infromation held is a 1881 census entry in Kirkcaldy, Fife

Alexander Smith. Born 19/03/1972 in Cupar Fife.
Latest information held is a 1902 birth cert for his son Andrew, who was born in Creich.

I've tried to find the details on line (e.g on Scotlands People site) and at The Edinburgh Records Office.

Does any one out there know what happened to them?

Assuming Agnes stayed in the Kirkcaldy area, there are 2 possible marriage records for her

1882 LYNN HUGH SMITH AGNES KIRKCALDY AND ABBOTSHALL /FIFE

1883 BARCLAY JOHN SMITH AGNES KIRKCALDY AND ABBOTSHALL /FIFE

What was her mothers name? It may help you find a death record

Hi Sancti

Thanks for the details. Have checked both the possible marriages that you came up with and neither one is my Agnes Smith. Agnes was named after her mother Agnes Kirk.
I'm starting to wonder of she has moved out of the country because I couldn't find anything for her at Edinburgh.
Thanks again for your help
