If you look on the IGI (www.familysearch.org) there are certainly some Imries from Markinch.
eg. Isabel Imrie b. 18 July 1822

If you have any names or dates it would help narrow things down.

There were two James Imries born in Scotland in 1885. One born in Scoonie, Leven, Fife, and the other in Perthshire.
