HI
I have the fife death index pre 1855
I'm happy to do lookups but be patient i'm new to this

Hi Jac2
Its very kind of you to offer to do look ups and I would really appreciate a search for some of my Morrisons. In particular I am looking for William Morrison and his wife Margaret (MS Wright) living in Falkland but possibly members of the Associate Congregation Church in Leslie.
William and Margaret were both born round about 1750 and had, to my knowledge, at least two sons, David 1782 and James 1790 both of whom died after 1855 in Cupar (I have their death certificates). It is possible there was another son John, born in 1780, who died before 1855 and if you can find him too I would really appreciate it.
With many thanks.

Hi Jac2
Thankyou for your kind offer.
Could I get you to look up the death of Margaret Izett or Izatt, maiden surname Adamson, between 1833 and 1837.not sure where, but she was married in Dunfermline .
Thankyou :)

Hi Jac2
Many thanks for this information - it looks very much like the people I am looking for. I'm going to Dundee in a couple of weeks so hopefully I will be able to get the original records in order to make sure I am on the right track.
Really appreciate your help in looking up these deaths.
Thanks again,
Regards

Hello, Jac2 -
Could you please have a look for the death of Elizabeth/Betty/Betsy Hastie between 1851 and 1855.
In 1851, she was living at High street, Burntisland, 62 years old and a fisherman's widow.
I'm not sure if Hastie is her maiden or married name.
Thanks.
-
Hi, was online & saw this so :
no record of Elizabeth/Betsy/Betty hastie in those dates. Only Betty hastie d. jan 1805 so obv. not yours!!
Lots of other hasties though.
PS I also have the Fife monumental Inscriptions vol2 : western parishes. no hasties listed under Burntisland 2 in carnock 1 in crombie 1 Torryburn
Diddy

Wow - that was fast! Thanks very much.

Hi Hac2,
Could you look for a John Beveridge died circa 1775 in Inverkeithing ( or any Beveridge deaths in that parish up to 1800).
Much appreciated,
Ailsa
-
Ellvera - i can't find a margaret iz*tt at all but there is a margaret Adamson - Dunfermline died 23 june 1837 buried 26 june age 24 OPR 424-18 says reason - Child bed (presumably birth) does not say maiden/married name
are some margaret Izett's but different dates. Can list if needed.
Will have a look through MI's for you but long job cos all indexed seperately!!
Diddy

Ellvera - forgot also a Margaret Adamson listed as Ceres. died 17 jan 1837 age 38. accident at spinning mill. OPR 415

Crayspond - can't find John beveridge. only Andrew beveridge 5 feb 1741 inverkeithing. OPR 458
Will potter around spelling variations.

Crayspond - indexed all Johns in inverkeithing!! all that came up was a John Beveradge died 7 mar 1828. note says Fife herald 13 mar 1828 has listsed as James beveradge. OPR 432-3
Monumental Inscriptions list:
Inverkeithing Churchyard stone 135:
1775 john beveridge. (no further details)
notes with entry say: the MS (manuscript) in Dunfermline Public library refers to the inscription. This refers to the Erskine beveridge papers in the library - some inscriptions contain sketches from the churchyards.

Thanks Diddy,
It's very interesting - i have recently been to Scotland and spent only a day in Inverkeithing/Dunfermline. I saw the actual stone and read through the papers in the library(i can't find any connection with Erskine).
I have a feeling that my Beveridges left Inverkeithing and moved to Dunfermline(they show up there in 1765) after the birth of John Beveridge born 1726. They were sometimes known as Belfrage.
Would it be cheeky to ask if you could look at the Dunfermline death index. I can trace them from 1804 but it's the period in between that is lost as the death indexes are not available on Scotlandspeople yet.
No problem if you can't - you have already been very helpful.
Ailsa

Ailsa - had already looked at some. Only other John beveridges -Dunfermline:
d 25/11/1829 age 50
4/1/1830 age 87
30/1//1831
11/6/1797 chd
24/7/1799 chd
Thomas Belfrage d. 14/5/1837 age 3 son of Thomas Belfrage
There are a lot of Thomas Beveridges listed outside Dunfermline but all in fife general area I will try and copy and send you a PM.
Diddy
-
Wow,Thanks Diddy ;D The first Margaret looks distinctly possible from an age point of view & if I have the right one,this would have been her second child.
Though if she is the right Margaret, her husband didn't waste much time remarrying - a few months ??? I guess if the baby survived,he would have needed a quick solution to his problem. ;D
Thanks for the other info,I am sure it will be useful at a later date.
Much appreciated

Hi Jac and Diddy
I wonder if either of you could help out on a post www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,309524.0.html regarding the Drummond family.
A Mary Drummond born anytime late 1700s-1805ish (going by census ages etc.) showed parents Robert Drummond and Margaret Wilson on her poor relief records in Lanarkshire. She married a Hugh Marr in Dunfermline in 1822 and moved to Glasgow where Hugh was originally from. She showed a birth place of Mastertown in some of her census entries.
We are all struggling to find any details on the parents :'( We have found a Robert Drummond, a weaver aged 65 in Dunfermline in the 1841 census (one and only sighting of him). Possibility that he may have had a second marriage to a Marion/May Wardlaw (marriage in 1811).
So, some of the names we are looking at:
Robert Drummond - age 65 in 1841
Margaret Drummond, maiden name not confirmed
Marion/May Wardlaw
John Drummond - age 25 in 1841
Robert Drummond - age 38 in 1851
Curious also about any other Drummond death entries in Dunfermline. Not a particular common name for the area so hopefully may stand out ::)
Many thanks.
Monica :)

Jac and Diddy
Thank you so much for all your time and effort :D Hopefully there will be connections there to be made. Certainly the Robert Drummond death would seem to be the right one given that this is where the sons show in 1851.
Many thanks again to you both!

Hi Jac2 & Diddymiller
First off - thanks for the kind offer of searches You're doing great work.
If it's no hassle, could you look for a couple for me? Deaths I'm after are:
James Morton & Isabella Morton (Blackwood) in Kirkcaldy, sometime after 1809
Robert Adamson & Janet Adamson (Scott) in St Monans, sometime after 1795
Thanks :)

Hi Diddy - thanks for those searches :)
St Monans/St Monance/Abercrombie is certainly to the (South) east.
For what it's worth - I'm sure everyone is really appreciating your efforts, even if it feels like you're glued to your Fife MI books :P

there are alot of Robert Adamsons on the CD but not at places mentioned so far - could be listed under neighbouring place - any ideas - I don't know area at all.

Hello,
With reference to your kind offer to do searches, I'm wondering if you have a moment to look for one of my ancestors?
David Tod, b c1731 Kettle, Fife. Wife Margaret Greig (married 2.7.1756 Markinch, Fife). All children born in Kettle, Fife, so I'm hoping David and Margaret stayed put and died there!
I'm hoping that this might breath some new life into the search for this side of the family as this is as far back as I've got.

famous poem about kirkcaldy written about 100 years ago

The Boy in the Train :)
by Mary Campbell Smith ::)
Whit wey does the engine say 'Toot-toot'?
Is it feart to gang in the tunnel?
Whit wey is the furnace no pit oot
When the rain gangs doon the funnel?
What'll I hae for my tea the nicht?
A herrin', or maybe a haddie?
Has Gran'ma gotten electric licht?
Is the next stop Kirkcaddy?
There's a hoodie-craw on yon turnip-raw!
An' seagulls! - sax or seeven.
I'll no fa' oot o' the windae, Maw,
Its sneckit, as sure as I'm leevin'.
We're into the tunnel! we're a' in the dark!
But dinna be frichtit, Daddy,
We'll sune be comin' to Beveridge Park,
And the next stop's Kirkcaddy!
Is yon the mune I see in the sky?
It's awfu' wee an' curly,
See! there's a coo and a cauf ootbye,
An' a lassie pu'in' a hurly!
He's chackit the tickets and gien them back,
Sae gie me my ain yin, Daddy.
Lift doon the bag frae the luggage rack,
For the next stop's Kirkcaddy!
There's a gey wheen boats at the harbour mou',
And eh! dae ya see the cruisers?
The cinnamon drop I was sookin' the noo
Has tummelt an' stuck tae ma troosers. . .
I'll sune be ringin' ma Gran'ma's bell,
She'll cry, 'Come ben, my laddie',
For I ken mysel' by the queer-like smell
That the next stop's Kirkcaddy! :D

Thanks to the both of you once again ;D. I don't think either of those Robert Adamson's are mine. I don't have a d.o.b but if I had to guess it would be around 1760.

Thank you for the David Tod's. Don't think they are mine, but will hang onto them in case they are related somehow. thanks also for the Margaret's.

I've been told my Tod's came from Wester Gospetrie on the banks of Loch Leven, but so far have only traced them to Kettle.

Can anyone tell me what Mildeans, Balmalcolm and Burnturk are? They were written after Kettle. Are they ares in Kettle?

Hi Jacci and Diddy too,
A couple of days ago, Jacci, you kindly found the deaths of some of my Morrisons in Falkland. I am now wondering if you would be kind enough to see if you can find two of the female lines for me? I am going to Dundee in a couple of weeks, big 60th birthday present, so that I can look around the villages where my ancestors lived and take loads of photographs and also see if I can get a line on some of the nonconformist births in Leslie.
It would be great if you, and anybody else with knows the area, could also give me a few pointers on where else to visit when I am there (I'm going for a week) - including a nice restaurant for my birthday dinner! I'm really excited about this and so looking forward to it.
Anyway, the families I am looking for are the Wrights (Wreights) and the Patricks (Pathericks, Pedries).
Information I have is:
James Patherick and Isabel Williamson married in Monimail 29 March 1735 (so a guess at their birth dates would be 1710-1715). All their children born in Monimail, last one in 1754.
William Patherick (b 21 April 1745 in Monimail) and Mary McNaughton married 3 November 1768 in Monimail.
All their children born in Monimail, last one 1775.
David Pedrie (b. 26 Nov 1769 in Monimail) and Isabel Young. Married 12 January 1790. Only child I know of, Janet Patrick, born 12 Dec 1790 in Monimail.
The Wrights/Wreights are from Auchterderran and I would appreciate a look for George Wreight and Margaret Clark married 14 July 1726 in Auchterderran (so a guess at a birth date for them would be about 1700-06). Last child born in 1737.
Also David Wright (b 1732) and Margaret Horn married Auchterderran 2 Nov 1750. Only child I know of born in 1755.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Ruby

Diddy

Hi Diddy
I really appreciate you taking the time to look for these people. It would be good to have the Patrick Cupar deaths and I'll send my email to you. Could I also please have the George Wrights and Margaret Horns?
William Patrick b 10 July 1771 sounds like the one who died in 1808 and is probably the son of William born 1745. I haven't got an Alexander but I haven't got all the children of these couples yet.
Once again, many thanks for your kindness is helping me track down my Fife family.

Hi Jac2,

Hi Jac2,
Thank you for the offer of look ups.
I am looking for Boyds who originated in Newburgh.
The parents were George Boyd b.c1758 and Lindsay Christie b.c 1765.
Then their son, David Boyd b.1789 married Christian Melville in Flisk and their offspring were all born Flisk. David probably won't be in your book as he died 1867 Abdie, Fife but his wife, Christian died pre 1855.
Hope this isn't too much to ask.

Hi jac2
I wonder if you could be so kind to do a look up please. My main line of interest is the surname BEAT mainly in the Kingsbarn area. My 3x great-grandparents were John and Janet Beat (nee Thomson) but I have reason to believe that John's father was Gavin and the surname then was spelt BEATT.
Any info would be gratefully received.
Regards
Cheryl

Hello jac2,

Thank you

Diddy

Diddy
You have already looked up Margaret Izatt for me earlier in this post and found what could be her buried under her maiden name of Adamson ;D
Could I ask you to see if there is a child,Alexander Izatt,who may have died between 1841 and 1851,who may possibly have been her son.He is on the 1841 census with her husband James and his second wife Agnes (& of course I can't see the relationship because it is 1841 :() but as far as I know,James and Agnes didn't have a son Alexander.I'm clutching at straws here,I know ??? He was in New Monkland,Lanark in 1841,but may have been born in Dunfermline. (I can't find him on the IGI either)age 3 in 1841.
The other thing I would be interested to know is does it do a soundex search when you look for Iz*tt and pick up other mis spellings? It's just that this name is rarely spelled correctly on the census and I wondered if is was the same on MI's though I guess they would have made sure of the spelling on something as important as that.
Thankyou
Barbara
-
hi ellvera :)
couldn't find an alexander for the dates you specify. in answer to your question yes you can do surname variations. altogether 168 izatt names and variations on the pre 1855 index.
jacci :)
-
Thanks Jacci
168 - my goodness ??? ??? Well that might come in handy later on.
Thanks for looking for Alexander. I have a suspicion he may have been a nephew,the way these Scots all name their first sons after Grandpa & then swap them around and change their ages for every census to confuse later generations ;)
Much appreciated
Barbara
-
Ellvera - yes i will have a look in the MI's. I now have the NE parishes as well. because the MI's are in a book I have to look at all variations myself but i do do this.
Sorry if i haven't been around to help much the last few days Jac - we are having a family emergency - my sister -in -law rushed into hospital. also i have 9 flutes and 2 clarinets about to take their exams next week so my evenings are full of lessons!! roll on Thursday ;D

Hi Jac2,
Would it be possible for you to check for Trail's in Scoonie. I'm trying to find info on James Trail born c.1770 and his wife Elizabeth Dowie and any offspring.
Any help much appreciated.
Bones ;)
-
I realise this may be in records later than the ones you have access to ... but would you be able to find anything on a James Mitchell, lost at sea? The birth date I have for him is 17/9/1835, and his parents were James Mitchell and Ann Dewar.
Many thanks in advance
-
Bones - no sign of james trail scoonie but there are 22 james / 11 Elizabeths / 429 trails altogether!! can you therefore give me any other names ie children because relatives are quite often mentioned and i may be able to narrow it down.
off to work soon but will keep on query.
Diddy
-
Deb D - nothing immediately although there are james mitchells.
do we know where he came from originally - birth place /parents wedding etc. it might help - there might be a memorial there.
will look in books anyway. i have the Western & ne parishes.
Diddy
-
Thanks, Diddy ... his father James Sr (also listed as a "seaman" on James Jr's marriage registration) was from Crail, and that's where they were living at the time of the marriage of James Jr's son. It's probably worth mentioning that I suspect there may be some confusion about which James was lost at sea ... or ... perhaps both of them were???
James Sr is noted as "deceased" by the time of James Jr's marriage to Helen Henderson, 31.12.1873, and James Jr is marked down as "deceased" by the time of his son Archibald's marriage to Agnes Morgan, in Kirk Wynd, 12.2.1895.
Cheers
Deb

Deb - I have:
Captain james Mitchell d.15/2/1822 kennoway
James Mitchell bur 9/4/1852 age 82
Ship carpenter & feuar
In the NE MI's there are quite a lot of Mitchells related to the sea.
will have another look with new info.
-
Hi Diddy,
James and Elizabeth Trail had the following children: Isabel, James, David and Thomas. They married in Kettle, but all the children were born in Scoonie, the last (Thomas) was born in 1800.
Bones ;)
-
Many thanks, Diddy ... it doesn't seem the first one is right for James Sr, since the date of death precedes James Jr's birth by a good few years. James Jr wasn't born until 1849 (marked down as 23 when he married in 1873). Also working mathematically (ouch, that hurts!) the second one couldn't be James Sr, either, as that would have made him close to 80 when James Jr was born.
Pity ... would've been nice to have appended "Captain" to somebody's name lol.
-
Found another entry for the Captain - seems he was army and not sea!! so can't be ours :-\

Oooooops! LOL

Hi Jac2,
Thankyou for your prompt reply - I wonder what the lingering illness was?
I know I am a bit cheeky but please could you look up his son: -
George SIMPSON dob 6/01/1814 Baldridge, Dunfermline. He disappears on the 1851 census and we think he must have been involved in a mining accident.
The family are in Clackmannan in 1841. He marries Helen Paterson on the 11th April 1840. By 1851 she is remarried and living in Dunfermline.
Thanks again Tab11 :-\

Thank you so much - we have been searching for that info for many years.
What do you think it means? I will try and google it.

hi tab11 :)
glad to be of help.
lingering illness is most likely emphzemia (miners lung).
water on the head comes up a lot, most likely fluid in the brain, causing the brain to swell. don't quote me on this. if i'm wrong someone is sure to point out the correct meaning.

Hi Jacci and Diddy
I'm back from my visit to Fife and not sure where to post but I thought I'd put it here. I had a marvellous time and thanks to the information you gave me I found my 5xggf's grave in Falkland and also found another generation of Betts/Beats in the records in Dundee Family History Centre as well as the elusive death of my 3xggm who died in childbirth. I walked along West Port in Falkland where my ancestors lived and tried without success to find the butcher's shops in Dundee, the site of one is the ring road and the other a car park! I did however find Dudhope Castle where a brother of my 4xggf was Drill Sergeant.
I absolutely loved Falkland and will stay there if we are lucky enough to go again. We were staying in Dundee and I have to say that the town planners need shooting - that ring road makes the place feel like it is permanently under seige!
I didn't get to Kirkcaldy and didn't get half the stuff I wanted. The nonconformist records for Leslie will have to wait for the next visit but once I have sorted out all the information I have gathered I will be asking for your help again to track the ancestors I didn't get.
Finally, I found Monimail Parish Church where my 4xggf was married and his 12 children were christened and of all the places I visited that one gave me such a spooky feeling, as if they knew I was there! I got some cracking photos and the staff in the libraries were great so I also got lots of old maps and photos.
Once again, many thanks for your help.
Regards

I am descended from James Donaldson and Janet Dewar's son William then through William's son James. You must be descended through William's son David who married Euphemia Bogie? Wow, I am thrilled ! This is the first time i have found anyone else online who is actually researching the same Donaldson family. My Mom has been researching the Donaldson's for many many years and has accumulated quite a bit of information. Would you be interested in sharing info?
Also, thank you for the burial information of the John Ramsay's. If you have time would there be a burial of a Magdalen or Marjory Ramsay in Collessie?

Hello
May I ask for a death or MI for George Penman somewhere between 1845 and 1851.The family were living at Wellwood Colliery,Dunfermline. George was born about 1791.His wife was Jean or Jane Izett.
Thankyou :)
Barbara

Barbara, there are only 2 george penmans on CD listed death after 1845 in Wellwood Colliery/ dunfermine don't match with your ages:
George penman d.6/10/1849 age 39 cholera OPR 424-18
George penman d.17/10/1849 age 8 Cholera (think son of above)
Diddy
-
Thankyou Diddy,that was quick.
I'm sure they will fit in somewhere.I am guessing that this George died after 1845 because there is a 2 year old son living with his widow on the 1851 Census.I got his age from the 1841,so it could be wrong.
Thanks again :)

May I please ask for a lookup for the death of Isabel (Isabella) Black nee Lowson (Lawson) born 15/04/1784 Torryburn, baptised 18/04/1784. She married John Black in Torryburn 30/06/1810.
Thanks for any help you can give.
-
hi, nothing in Torryburn but found these in kirkcaldy:
Isabella Black d. 25/3/1814 wife of John Black, sailor
Isabella Black d.9/9/1853 eldest dau. of john Black (builder, decd)
first one possible, no age given - would only be 4 years after marriage.
Diddy
-
Thaks for your help. Don't think either of these is the one as John Black was definitely a weaver. Am having real problems with this lady. Think she may have sometimes used the name Crawford and not Lowson. Would it be possible to look under that surname for me too please? Sometimes spelt Crauford or Crawfurd. Thanks.
-
Hi Sarah
Reading through the posts,,the name Bogie came up,I have a David Bogie who married an Euphemia Leighton about 1830 in Auchterderran,I will try to see how far down the line I can get.

Danal, nonlistings sorry.
do you have John Blacks death? found one that might be his father?:
John Black, weaver d.12/2/1784 Torryburn
Diddy
-
found one isabella Crawford:
isabella Crawford (Henderson) d.9/1/1838 wife of John Crawford, bookseller.
Prob not yours because of bookseller. not very close to weaver!!
why the problems with her name, did she marry more than once?
Diddy
-
Hi Diddy
Thanks for your help. The death you found for John Black could certainly be his father. Makes sense he had the same name as son and same profession and birthplace. I had not actually discovered his parentage yet.
Re. Isobel Lowson - this is a bit of a mystery! I have been unable to locate a marriage listing for John Black and Isobel Lowson but do have a birth listing for their son John born in Torryburn 11/11/1810. I also have the death certificate of John (younger) which states his mother and father were John Black and Isobel Lowson. Could be they never married! However, have found a marriage between a John Black and Isobel Crawford in Torryburn 30/6/1810. Also a birth certificate for 28/10/1770 which gives details of Isabel Crawford having a child Mary Isabel by John Black the younger, a twister in Dunfermline, born illigitimately. The 3 families do seem linked somehow, but how? Have looked at birth of Isobel Lowson and found a birth certificate for 15/4/1784 in Torryburn - parents George Lowson and Margaret Reid but not sure if this is the same one! All a bit of a muddle!
-
Thought...
you say you have the death cert for john (younger) - does isobels name say m.s. for maiden name - if not prob not married
Diddy
-
John's death certificate gives mother as Isobel (Isabel) Black ms Lowson or Lawson, which gives he impression they did marry! However, it could have been she just took his name for convenience and appearances I suppose especially as the info. was given by the son.

Hi Sarah
Reading through the posts,,the name Bogie came up,I have a David Bogie who married an Euphemia Leighton about 1830 in Auchterderran,I will try to see how far down the line I can get.
Peter
Hi teadealer, slgood and jac2,
It looks as though these are (or might well be) two different lines?
The BOGIEs of slgood (Sarah) and jac2 (jacci) seem to be one line; and the BOGIEs of teadealer (Peter) a different line?
Later edit:
What I posted here yesterday was irrelevant to the topic of this thread (FIFE Death Index pre 1855) so I have moved the content to a new thread at:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,319797.msg2005787.html#msg2005787
in order to avoid cluttering up this thread.

Hi Jac and Diddy,

Many Thanks

Hi jac2,
Do you have any LOCHTIE or LOCHTY entries?
Many thanks,
JAP
-
Lots of Lochties - any particular names / area?
Diddy
-
Hi diddy,
LOCHTIE/LOCHTY is (perhaps surprisingly) a very rare name! And another variant (incredibly rare) is LOUGHTIE/LOUGHTY.
Perhaps I have them all.
I was just being a bit cheeky and thinking that another pair of eyes in the pre-1855 deaths might add something ...
And hoping that there might be another LOCHTIE researcher out there ...
The name seems to appear first in Dunfermline records (from Aberdour) ca early 1600s (which might be nothing more than a reflection of the dates when records were kept!!) And then, in pre-1855 days, mainly Aberdour and Dalgety - perhaps a few Burntisland, Dunfermline, Inverkeithing, and Kinghorn.
Two main lines seem to diverge very early on ...
Don't worry about it .... ;D
Best regards,
JAP
-
Hi Jac2,
Many thanks for the info, it's greatly appreciated. It also gives me another couple of names to check out.
Bones ;)
-
Me again, sorry, I've been down with the 'flu so not "compos mentis" enough to call back and thank you for looking up the James Mitchells. Very much appreciated, wish I'd gotten back earlier.
Did anyone find out about that 1841 census that reportedly went to Davy Jones' Locker in a ferry sinking?
Should we call in Bob Ballard? :o
-
Could I be cheeky and ask you to look up the following deaths for me?
George Penman and his wife Janet, formerly Izatt both born in the 1790's and living in the Dunfermline area - you have already found what I believe to be their son and grandson on an earlier posting ;)
Alexander Izett around 1840 Dunfermline area
Andrew Izatt around 1850 Dunfermline area
George Izatt before 1852 Dunfermline area
Helen Izatt formerly Spowart 1850ish
Katherine Adamson formerly Wilson before 1790 Carnock
Robert Wylie and his wife Janet Christie died between 1829 and before 1864 Dunfermline
Sorry to be so vague - I have been trying to do a tree for a friend who flies out to Scotland on Tuesday,everything was well on schedule & then no computer for three weeks :(
I will understand perfectly if this is too much to ask.There are so many Izatts,Penmans and Wylies in this family all naming their children the same and many marrying relatives,which is very helpful of them in normal circumstances,but frustrating when you ony have 24 hours to get things sorted ???
Thankyou

Hi Jac2
Would you mind looking for a death record for John Paterson who died around 1844. I think it could be 1844 but cant be sure. Could have been in St Monance or Kilconquhar but again not too sure.
Any help you could offer would be really appreciated (if you come across any other Paterson's whilst looking could I be a bit cheeky and ask if you would also let me know their details as well - its there's not too many!)
Thank you for your generous offer

If there isn't enough infos for some of the people, let me know.
Thank you very much!

Could you please look up Christian Fleming née Hoy for me? She died between 1841 and 1851. She was born c.1790, and her husband was Alexander Fleming. She probably died in Thornton, if not, then possibly Falkland.
Also Helen Grieve née Fraser, died again between 1841 and 1851. Born c.1761 and married James Grieve. Probably died in Newton of Falkland. If you could find James Grieve that'd be great, but I have literally no information on him.
James Osler (or Ostler or Hostler), and his wife Janet Louden. James was born 1762 in Carnbee, and Janet was born c.1770.
If you can find any deaths of an Elspeth Coldstream in Fife between 1786 and 1855 that would be legendary.

take your time. I just apprechiate your help,
thanks again :)

ostler, no sign of James on CD or MI's even with alternative spellings on Grieve.
Sorry,
Diddy
-
hold that thought - that was in Falkland - there are 19 James grieves elsewhere. do you have any other names to connect him too - or other places in area?
Diddy
-
Newton of Falkland, Strathmiglo and Auchtermuchty are really the only places nearby. The name Richardson might have some significance, but I'm not sure. If you can find a Richardson Grieve or a Richardson Clark, that might solve some other mystery of mine.

Hi Jac and Diddy
Would you be able to help me with the following deaths-
