Over a number of years I have photographed most of the
Headstones in these Kirkcaldy Cemeteries
ABBOTSHALL, BENNOCHY,DYSART & PATHHEAD Feuars
Some of the stones are back to the mid 1800s
If you care to supply me only with the names of the
Husband & Wife eg.
David Dewar Helen T Brown
I will check my index and if there is a stone I will supply you
With the Inscription and a photograph of the stone if required.
eg. 298 Helen T Brown died 8.6.1920
Son David C Dewar Corp. 450 Canadians
Killed in action in France 16.3.1916 age 27
Also David Dewar husband of above
Died 27.8.1929 age 65
Daughter Elizabeth wife of William Borthwick died 2.7.1934 age 50

ooooooooooh my Sutherland lot are from up there... Grace Himsley Sutherland born in Kirkaldy and died in Dundee.. darn it so that means she wont be buried in Kirkaldy. But maybe other members of her Himsley family...
yep Margaret Robertson Himsley died in 1882 Kirkaldy wife of William Himsley. And his father William Himsley died in 1875 Kirkaldy
not sure about others... Thanks xin :D :)
-
Hi Xinia sorry no Himsley in the index for any of my Cemeteries,
Lots of people could just not afford headstones, times were hard then.
NorrieG
-
okay... thanks anyway... on reading about Margaret Robertson Himsleys life she was far from well off. Thanks for looking..
:)

Thank you for your generous offer:
I have two families who might come into this category
William Whitton & Betty Thornton - primarily in Prinlaws, Leslie, but also found in Pathhead a couple of times.
Alexander Cairns & Marion Smith thought to be Dysart
Grateful thanks
Pat

Hi Pat The offer was for Kirkcaldy Cemerties,

Ben 408 David Whitton Jessie Carrie
Dys 1150 David Whitton Wilhelmina Simpson
Dysart 541 Alexander Cairns Agnes Heggie
EastWemyss 1355 Alexander Cairns Margaret Hush
East Wemyss 1540 Alexander Cairns Agnes Robertson
Are any of these yours?
NorrieG

Thanks for your generous offer. Coud you have a look for the following for me?
William Reid died 11/10/1842 Abbotshall aged 62. His wife Mary Reid (nee Heggie) died 3/9/1850 Abbotshall aged 76.
Thomas Douglas Reid died Dysart 11/10/1873 aged 65 (son of the above). His wife Euphemia Reid (nee Robertson) died 27/11/1851 age 42 at Collinsburgh, so probably not buried in Kirkcaldy.
Margaret Graham (nee Reid, daughter of Thomas and Euphemia) died 23/9/1869 Kirkcaldy aged 35. Her husband Charles Graham died 11/3/1870 Kirkcaldy aged 41.

Hi Susan Nothing on these familes
The Cemeteries I listed Abbotshall,Bennochy & Pathhead
Are older Cemeteries and burials there are most likely to be for
Persons who have have ground their, passed down from their ancestors.
Dysart Cemetery is still being used at present for new burials
In the 40s a new cemetery was opened in Kirkcaldy called Hayfield
Cemetery That is most likely where they would have been buried
Or they could have been cremated at Kirkcaldy Crematorium
Which opened in 1959
· The current lair registers (dating from 1939) are administered by Fife Council, Kirkcaldy Crematorium, Dunnikier Park, Dunnikier Way, Kirkcaldy, KY1 3PL. Tel. 01592 260277. Fax 01592 203438.

Thank you so very much for the information. I really appreciate your taking the time to explain that to me....I'm in Canada so don't know much about cemeteries, councils, etc. in the UK but I'm learning thanks to all the wonderful Rootschatters.

Hi Norrie,
Thank you for checking, I just know that they were buried somewhere in Kirkaldy, and the year for Agnes was about 1909, not sure about Andrew. The did live in Kirkaldy, but it is just family chat that they have a stone, so it might not be.
Thanks again

But I have answered 100s of requests for Headstone
inscriptions over the passed 5 years on Sct- Fife
I have 52 Headstones Listing Male Blyths

Kind regards,
Jack

I'm descended from Patrick Blyth and Isobel Inglis, who were married in 1709 at Abbotshall, Kirkcaldy. Their son Patrick Blyth (b.1711) married Margaret Watson in 1744 at Dysart/Abbotshall.
Patrick and Margaret had a daughter called Isobel Blyth (b.1748, Abbotshall) who married William Anderson at Dysart/Abbotshall in 1770.
William Anderson and Isobel Blyth were my 4 x great-grandparents. They would eventually move to Pittenweem in east Fife where they were the ancestors of the fishing families of Anderson and Horsburgh.
One scary aspect of having Blyth ancestors in Kirkcaldy is that you may be related to the former Tory Defence Secretary and current TV presenter Michael Portillo, whose maternal grandfather was a John Blyth of Dysart.

Hello Norrie,
Brilliant! Thank you so much for that. John Blyth and Margaret Simpson Christie (Dys 291) were my paternal grandparents so it's great to see their stone. Pity it's a bit weather beaten but I'm really pleased that it's still there. The others you sent have given me several leads to follow up which is good.
With regard to the other Blyths in Dysart, Dys 788 James McFarlane Blyth and Laura Blyth and Dys 272 James S Smith and Annie Blyth, are, I'm sure, mine too.
Dys 443 William Blyth and Dys 1288 William Blyth may be mine because I've got a couple of Williams for whom I do not yet have spouses. I'll check them out with SP when I renew my credits.
So, thank you once again. You've made an old man very happy.
Kind regards,
Jack

A Good New Year to you Norrie!
Many thanks for your last posting. I wonder if you could look up another one for me. It is for my Uncle Bert and Auntie Jeannie, more specifically:
Robert Herdman (1905-1968) & Jane Booth Blyth (1901-1986).
They lived for a while in Lady Helen Street, just behind Abbotshall Kirk, but could be buried anywhere. He was manager of Raith Rovers from 1945 to 1962 and I have fond memories of him.
Kind regards,
Jack

Hi Jack Bert is not in Abbotshall or Bennochy Cemetery
more likely to be in the newer Hayfield Cemetery, I intend to
go and photograph headstones there later this week so
will look for them.
question was Bert Herdman born in Kirkcaldy
I only have one HERDMAN inscription in index in Dumfermline
Erected by Arch. HERDMAN in memory of his
wives Janet HENDERSON died 23.4.1868 age 30

Hello Norrie,
I've been unable to find any birth or baptism for Bert Herdman. There are some thoughts within the family that he may have been born in Stoke on Trent. I've searched the GRO indexes but have found no trace up to now.
Good luck at Hayfield.
Jack
-
Hello Norrie G, and thank you, your offer is very generous!
I see by your surname interests that you have Kinnears listed. I'd be particularly interested to find out whether my gt grandfather, Alexander Kinnear, b. Innerleven 1872 (son of Alexander Kinnear & Isabella Rodger), died 23/11/1908, coalminer, might be buried in any of the relevant cemeteries?
If there are Kinnears anywhere, in fact, I'd be curious to see whether they may be connected; there are other related names, too, but I'll concentrate on these, first.
Cheers

My great grandparents lived in High Street, Kirkcaldy and died as follows:

Hi Jack glad I decided to check the local Kirkcaldy paper
Death Notice Fife Free press 24 th August 1968
HERDMAN suddenly at 36 Lady Helen St. Kdy
On 22nd August Robert Rodger HERDMAN husband
Of Joan Booth BLYTH
Service at Kirkcaldy Crematorium on Monday 26th August
At 3.30 pm to which all friends are invited. No letters or flowers
So glad did not have to check Hayfield Cemetery, as its was
cold and raining this morning.
I managed to get a copy of the report in the paper which
I will scan and send direct to you.

:D
Another cousin!!! Wooooohoooooooo!

Norrie,
Thanks for that and for the photocopy of the press report. The middle name "Rodger" was a surprise so there's another line of investigation.
Looking at the weather forecast, perhaps you should leave Hayfield until the spring.
Kind regards,

Thanks a lot Norrie - this is the one. I'm very grateful indeed. The others you list I don't seem to know of - the only other grave which might be there is John Russell's parents - William Russell (d before 1828) and his wife Isabel Greig (interred at Abbotshall on 12 Feb 1835) who I think may be referred to as mother of John Russell. Do you have that?
Thanks

Thanks for checking Norrie. I was hoping to find the missing dates on my list but it wasn't to be.

Hi Norrie,
What a great resource you have set up!
Do you have any graves of Cummings?
Am particularly interested in the whereabouts of Colin Cummings, 1851-1903. He died at Bank Mansion, Sinclairtown, Dysart.
Wives-- 1) Joan (Burns) c. 1850-1877
2) Janet Ness Henderson c. 1858-1904

Hi Norrie,
Thank you so much for all that information!
I think 101 was the manager of Dysart gas works if I remember my research--at present deep inside a cupboard.
These Cummings may be distant relatives of Colin Cummings------- have not yet established the link.
Colin was the eldest of a Cummings family that 'went'
Colin (seaman), b.c.1793-d.1829--buried in old cemetery, St. Serf's I think it was (MI index)
Alexander (seaman), 1825-1899
Colin (boiler -maker then wine and spirit merchant), 1851-1903
Alexander (wine merchant). 1873-195?
It is odd Colin is not buried locally. 1903 was well before cremation started.
I doubt they were listed as Cumming. The earliest surnames I found of this family were Cummins and Cummens then they were Cummings.
Will ask for a photo. if I can find the link.
Meantime thank you again for your work.
Kind regards,
MairiD

Hi Gill. No Peter L McLaren in my index, but you say he was buried in a family plot. I index with the main family on the stone, so that would be Peters
parents.
I have these Mclarnes in Dysart & 1 in Bennochy
but have checked the photographs but no mention of Peter on any of them.
Dys 223 James McLaren Ada Brawley
Dys 1100 James McLaren Euphemia Arnott Kidd
Dys 499 James B McLaren Annie Maxwell Kerr

Dys 856 Robert McLaren Annie McCallum
Dys 704 William McLaren Isabella Burt
Ben 452 Peter McLarne Catherine Brown
Who were Peters parents also Isabella parents
Norrie G
-
Hi, Peters parents were Peter and Christina Mclaren however they both died in Forfar and i would assume burried there or perhaps |Logierait ( where they came from). Isabella parents were Christopher Cairns and jemina ( cant recall her surname, would have to look it up). I though Peter had bought the plot and he, his wife and im told grandson were burried there. Hope that makes a difference as I have looked and unfortunately found nothing- relatives not much help! Thanks again. Gillian.

Hi Norrie
If you've got the time, I'm looking for gravestones for the following people. I've been through all the usual lists and found nothing and the facts would suggest they were too poor to afford a stone. But you might have turned up something I haven't!
They are all born and married in Dysart.
George Kinnaird and Agnes Raeburn (born 1760s)
John Kinnaird and Elizabeth McGregor (born 1790s)
William Page and Elizabeth Mitchell (born c1805)
James McDougall and Ann Rennie (born c1805)
George Kinnaird and Jane Weir (born 1830s)
Duncan McDougall and Euphemia Page (born 1830s)

Hello Norrie,
I've just found out that my 3xgt grandmother Agnes Troup was buried in Abbotshall in 1853. She was first married to William Simpson then, when he died, to William Young. Do you have any of them in your database please?
The GROS entry reads:
Agnes (Troop) Simpson/Young
"William Young's widow Agness Simpson was buried in the --- (indecipherable) grave of his property 5 1/2 feet deep aged 83 years"
Regards,
Jack

d. 30 November 1926
His home was in Kirkcaldy and he died in a mining accident in Wemyss.

Norrie, you are my hero! Thanks. At least we have found one of poor Isabella's sons (my great-uncle). Never would have thought of Dysart, but then I'm not that familiar with Scotland.

Hello again Norrie
I've been doing a bit more digging on locations in Kirckcaldy for the relatives in my list. Although they start in Dysart Parish, the census returns show a lot them living in High St in 1851, St Clair St in 1881, 1891 and 1901 and also Long Row in 1841, 1861 and 1871.
So they are really living in the areas of Pathhead and Sinclairtown. Eventually in my grandparents time they move further north and west. I'm just wondering what the burial grounds would be likely to be in the 19C for Pathhead and Sinclairtown and whether I've been barking up the wrong tree by looking in Dysart.
Any advice?
Many thanks
Sarah

I have my own 1881 census for Scotland and the only one I can find is
Duncan McDougal & Euphemia Page and I think I have a stone for
Elizabeth McDougal their daughter in Abbotshall Cemetery
772 Millar Robertson died 1915 age 45
wife Elizabeth McDougal died 1947 age 78
daughter Margaret Robertson died 5.3.1977 age 64
SIL. John Anderson died 9.9.1954 age 67

There are a number of cemeteries
Barony Cemetery in Dysart this is an old cemetery but only 125 stones
Pathhead Feuars Cemetery between Kirkcaldy & Dysart 110 Stones
And Dysart & Sinclairtown Cemetery over 2000 stones still in use today
And 3 in Kirkcaldy Abbotshall, Bennochy & Kirkcaldy old Church
If you wish more lookup give me the 2 names.

Norrie,
Perhaps you can help me with a brick wall. Andrew Fowler was born 1790 in Abbotshall (and died in Dundee in 1853). I have found no record of his parents. Do you have any Fowlers buried in Abbotshall (or nearby) between 1790 and 1840s? Sorry for the lack of forenames, but I am stuck! Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

Hi Craig sorry not going to be much help,
There are Fowler Headstones in Abbotshall but only from the late 1800s
also checked the other local Cemeteries but no luck
the IGI only gives 1 marriage in Abbotshall for an Andrew Fowler
Father: Andrew Fowler, Mother: Margaret Reid married 3.10.1819 Abbotshall is this him?
with these children
1. JEAN FOWLER - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 31 DEC 1821 Abbotshall, Fife, Scotland
2. BETTY FOWLER - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 31 JUL 1820 Abbotshall, Fife, Scotland
There is nothing on 1841 Census

Norrie,
Cheers for the lookup. That is my relative, and those are his daughters. The family was in Ruthven on the 1841 census. Andrew was an overseer for a jute mill.
Are there any records extant for the dissenting churches? I know there were quite a lot in and around Kirkcaldy. Also, do you know of any apprenticeship records for Abbotshall / Kirkcaldy / Kinghorn?
Once again, thanks for the assistance.

Hi Norrie
Could you please tell me please if you have anything on the below?
I have family from Abbotshall
John[died april 1837] and Euphemia BLAIR [Dec 1848] and they lost a child in 1814
and from Kirkcaldy
James and Margaret SYMON. I don't know when they died. It was before June 1849. Margaret had her last child in 1814 and James was still alive in Nov 1835 when his daughter married, his abode then was Kirkcaldy. He was a gardener but his son was a stone mason. I am hoping there maybe a headstone.
His son Robert and wife Christian [Christina] lost 6 children [3 boys and 3 girls] between 1830- 1849. One was buried in Feb 1846 in Wemyss parish.

Hi David yes I have photographed that Cemetery, in fact
My son lives in the property next to it, over one of the boundary walls, its quite a small cemetery approx 100 x 50 yards but with many burials over 10,000 from 1707 till 1960
I sorry to say that there are no headstones for your family, there is
a headstone for Arnott which I have enclosed they are Drsart Arnotts, I see your Arnotts came from the Dunfermline area.
41 Alexander Arnott died 6.5.1907 age 80
Isabella Oliphant died 2.9.1890 age 60
Mathew O. Arnott died 13.1.1864
His wife Christian Deas died 25.8.1848 age 22
Son Alexander Deas Arnott died 28.9.1861 age 13
Son William Arnott died 14.7.1904 age 45
Alexander son of William died 28.11.1934 age 52
Have enclosed a general view of the cemetery
Sorry not to be of more help Norrie

Dear Norrie,
Thank you for your very prompt reply. My wife and I visited this cemetery in July last year. Unfortunately we couldn't gain access as the gates were locked and the high walls prevented any other means of getting in. We were dissappointed that after travelling all this way we would not see the headstones. I feel a little better now knowing the headstones don't exist.
Thank you for the photo and your feedback.

Hi Norrie
Thank you in advance for your kind offer to look up your index for MI's in Kirkcaldy Cemeteries.
I have quite a few Thomsons in Bennochy Cemetery and wondered if you had a photo of my grandparent's gravestone as I have never found it.
They were David Steele Thomson (died 13th March 1962) and Bessie Goldie Thomson (MS Millar)(died 21st June 1955). There might also be a mention of their daughter, Agnes Evelyn Thomson who died 29th March 1929.
I have already found my great grandfather (Joseph Thomson) and his wife (Agnes Gemmell) and my great great uncles (Alexander Thomson) and David Thomson but not my grandfather.
Many thanks

I was so excited when I cam across your posting yesterday. We live in the United States and, at this point in time, I have no idea when we will ever be able to travel to Scotland to visit Kirkaldy.
My husband's 3rd great grandparents (and possibly his great grand uncles & aunts) are buried in Bennochy Cemetery.
Robert SKINNER (22 Apr 1816 - 13 Oct 1876) Occupation: Sexton at Bennochy Cemetery. Residence: Cemetery Lodge
Catherine GOULD Skinner (abt 1809 -14 Jan 1870) Died at residence - Cemetery Lodge. Cause of death: Bronchitis
Children:
Mary (? - 1846), Catherine (1842 - ?), Jean (1844 - ?), Robert (1848 - ?) , John SKINNER (1849- abt 1905 - immigrated to US in 1872), Peter (1851 - ?), William (1854 - ?)
I would really appreciate if you could send me the inscription and photos of the monument for Robert and Catherine Skinner if they are included in your index as well as their children if possible. Keeping my fingers crossed!! :)
Thank you!!
Melanie

Hi Norrie
Thank you in advance for your kind offer to look up your index for MI's in Kirkcaldy Cemeteries.
I have quite a few Thomsons in Bennochy Cemetery and wondered if you had a photo of my grandparent's gravestone as I have never found it.
They were David Steele Thomson (died 13th March 1962) and Bessie Goldie Thomson (MS Millar)(died 21st June 1955). There might also be a mention of their daughter, Agnes Evelyn Thomson who died 29th March 1929.
I have already found my great grandfather (Joseph Thomson) and his wife (Agnes Gemmell) and my great great uncles (Alexander Thomson) and David Thomson but not my grandfather.
Many thanks
Diana
Any luck with this one Norrie?
Kind regards

Hi Norrie,
You are terrific! Thank you so much for the photo and inscription. Unfortunately, I do not know much more about the children. I found them in the 1871 census living in Kirkaldy but after that I have had not much luck. William married Isabella Johnston but I see his family living in Midlothian in 1881. John moved to the United States and married Katherine Powers - this is my husband's line. I really appreciate your time. One of these days, my husband and I (and his father too) would love to take a trip to visit Fife and to see where his ancestors are from.
Thanks again!

Hello Norrie, Thanks for taking the time to photograph . I am not sure you can assist but I will give you the details as I know them
Kind regards
Jeff
From the Fife Advertiser 1 17 1852 – Simpson, John, late a farmer Hayfield Kirkcaldy, son of Peter Simpson, a tenant Wester Gourdie, Dundee died in NY 23.12.1851. John Simpson was born in liff 1787 and died when visiting his daughter Margaret Stoddart nee simpson in Manhattan. Margaret was b 1 jan 1818 - where is unknown as there is no birth record. I also cant find a definate marriage record for John Simpson. I was wondering in your travels if you came across any Simpsons that make reference to wife, daughter or son of John c 1815 onwards until his death in 1851.

Hi Norrie thanks for your reply My grt grt grandfather Alexander Sutherland's wife was Isabella M.S Bruce she died 1949 17th June ,She lived in Kennoway i think she could be in Langside Cemetery i know my grt grandfather David is there.
Regards Gordy

Hi Norrie
Many thanks for all those Thomsons. Alexander Thomson and Betsy Watt, David Thomson and Elizabeth Baird and Joseph Thomson and Agnes Gemmell are all mine. I would love a photo if possible as I am sure yours are a lot better than the ones I took.
I was also wondering if you had any of a David Thomson and Ann Steele in Pathead or Dysart Cemetery?
David and Bessie must be in Hayfield Cemetery. Do you think the Kirkcaldy Crem would be able to tell me?
Many thanks for your help.
Kind regards

Hi Norrie,
My father has family that passed away in Kirkcaldy.
The name is McK/MacKenzie, could be spelled either way.
Christina nee Alexander died August 4, 1960
her daughters
Jessie Burns McKenzie died 1977 (she never married)
There was another daughter Mary McDonald McKenzie but she was most likely married and I can't find a death for her. I'm hoping the headstone may give me clue as to who she married or when she died.
Thank you so much for offering your time and help

Christina nee Alexander died August 4, 1960
Hi Janet my index is built using the 2 main names on the stone
eg. Daniel McKenzie Ann Robertson
You don't say what your fathers name was?
and I take it Christina Alexander was his wife?
need some more info.
Norrie
-
I'm sorry, here is the information
Jessie McKenzie died 1977 in Kirkcaldy but her name could be spelled Jessie MacKenzie. Her full given name at birth was Jessie Burns McKenzie. She was never married.
Christina McKenzie died in 1960 in Kirkcaldy but again the name could be MacKenzie
Christina's maiden name was Alexander
Throughout my family research, McKenzie has been spelled both ways, even by the same family members so it's hard to know which was used on a gravestone.
Christina's husband, John McKenzie, died in Glasgow in 1924 so I'm quite sure he won't have a gravestone in Kirkcaldy.
Thank you very much
Janet

Hi Diana PM your Email and I will send direct
I was also wondering if you had any of a David Thomson and Ann Steele in Pathead or Dysart Cemetery?
nothing in index for David & Ann Steele
I see the photos are of their children
David and Bessie must be in Hayfield Cemetery. Do you think the Kirkcaldy Crem would be able to tell me?
Email tell them the dates of deaths, names and you think
they are in Hayfield or may have been cremated, and hope you may get an answer.

Hi Janet sorry nothing in my index for any of the above, Have you considered
that Christina may have been buried in her husbands grave in Glasgow.
that would have cost less.
Norrie

Thanks for having a look Norrie. I'll see what's available online for Glasgow.
I've received the death notice that was in the newspaper for my great Aunt Christina MacKenzie. I copied it below.
MACKENZIE – At 218 Rosslyn Street, Kirkcaldy on the 4th August 1960, in her 96th year Christina Alexander, beloved wife of the late John MacKenzie late of Watergate, Cleish.
Can you tell me where is Watergate, Cleish? I know my gr uncle John died in Glasgow after being hit by a train. I have his death certificate.
Thanks

Hi Norrie in reply to my question re Peter Mclaren- family plot headstone do you have any information rearding Cairns family plot? Peter's in-laws were Christopher and Jamima Cairns (Maria st kdy). Just a thought as Peters parents both died in Couper Angus. Thanks for any help Gill. ???
-
Hi, Peters parents were Peter and Christina Mclaren however they both died in Forfar and i would assume burried there or perhaps |Logierait ( where they came from). Isabella parents were Christopher Cairns and jemina ( cant recall her surname, would have to look it up). I though Peter had bought the plot and he, his wife and im told grandson were burried there. Hope that makes a difference as I have looked and unfortunately found nothing- relatives not much help! Thanks again. Gillian.
Hi Gillian sorry I can find nothing for Christopher Cairns on index
yes he may have bought a plot but did they have a headstone
Norrie

Thanks anyway and good point! Gill. :D

. I have a question also about one of the drylie families you gave me. george drylie and margret beall drylie i have son Johns birth as 1916 and your inscription says he died apr 22 1922 and was 39 years old?
Hi Beans yes your right George died 1953 not 1922 sorry
Also John Hynd and Helen Drylie is there anyway to verify that he was 10 years older than her i have both of their births in 1869 but according to the inscriptions and subtracting his age he was born in 1879

Alexander Oswald and his wife had a daughter, VERE born 1825 Lochgelly, do not no if they had anymore children as i have been unable to find a birth cert for Vere, although her OPR marriage record say's" Vere Oswald, daughter of the late Alexander Oswald" and her Death cert also states she was the daughter of Alexander Oswald.
Andrew Turnbull c1791 had a son Andrew Turnbull 1813, This is a copy of the OPR for the marriage between Andrew and Vere
The OPR: 547 Turnbull/Oswald: Upon the 12th Jan 1851 were (? cannot read) Andrew Turnbull Joiner son of the late Andw Turnbull Engineer and Vere Oswald daughter of Alexr Oswald, Farmservant and both of this Parish Married 13th by Revd John Blackie now of Abbotshall.

Hello Norrie,
When you've got a minute can you please check to see if you details of any of the following?
James Leitch & Isabella Lambert. I have no death record for him but she was buried in Dysart Barony 18 Apr 1859, having died 4 days earlier in Riddles Close, Leith. Perhaps his name was added to her stone. However, he was a sailor so may not be buried here.
John Leitch & Sophia Penman. Although he was born in Dunfermilne he is possibly buried in Abbotshall as he lived most of his life as a coal grieve there.
David Lambert & Margaret Dewar. I have no death record for her but he died 15 Mar 1828 and the OPR 399, Book 6, page 118 says "Buried in the middle position grave of his property, 6 foot deep"
Many thanks in advance and kind regards to you,
Jack

Hi Norrie,
I left a message on the Markinch gravestones yesterday too. I have lots of folks in the Dysart/Pathhead/Sinclairtown area and would appreciate any stones you might have for them and be willing to share. Here are some of the major ones I am interested in:
Elizabeth (Dewar) Anderson - died 24 Apr 1855 in Sinclairtown/St Clairtown at age 69. (She was widowed for a while before her death and I believe her husband is likely buried in Edinburgh where they lived before he died)
Robert Anderson - died 21 Apr 1869 in Pathhead at age 57.
Wife Margaret (Deas) Anderson - died 31 Mar 1877 in Pathhead at age 66.
Margaret's parents -
John Deas, died 5 Aug 1871 in Dysart, age 91.
Margaret (Page) Deas, died 27 Sep 1855 in Dysart.
Margaret's twin sister -
Rachel (Deas) Anderson, died 22 Jan 1891 in Dysart, age 80.
Husband John Anderson, died 2 Aug 1855 in Dysart, age 48.
Thanks so much for any help or suggestions you can provide.

Hi Rockhoper yes I see they were buried in Kirkcaldy Old Kirk Cemetery
I don't have a photo of the headstone, but Mitchel gives this as the inscription
David SHEILDS born Aug 1771 died Nov. 1861
Wife Fanny MITCHELL born Nov. 1786 died Dec. 1845
Agnes SHEILD or Ross died 9.10.1908

But the IGI gives a birth in Kirkcaldy of a Robert Beveridge 10.7.1868
And parents David Beveridge & Harriet Methven
This is their inscription in Bennochy Cemetery Photo available

Thanks so much!! That is interesting that Robert died in 1933 when I have two other pieces of information that state he died in 1916; however, I haven't found him on scotlandspeople in 1916 so now I need to check 1933!! I know for sure that it's the correct Robert Beveridge because an aunt told me that he was married to Mathilde Aeschlimann, who was supposedly a governess for the Duchess of Fife.
Will you please send me the photo of #712- David Beveridge family? I hadn't found the name of one of the infants that died at a young age.
What other cemeteries in Kirkcaldy do you have records and/or photos?
Thanks again!
Heather
-
Just realized that the two stories about David Beveridge stated that Robert died in 1916 when it was actually David who died in 1916. The information was apparently copied to another story without checking the accuracy of the information.

Hi Heather have attached of Headstone 712 Bennochy

norrie do you have a picture to go with william and agnes

Thanks again for the help and information. Those Beveridges and Constables are in my lines.
I gave you the information for Cecilia Fisher incorrectly. Instead of stating Cecilia Beveridge nee Fisher I put it Cecilia Fisher Beveridge who was a daughter. Cecilia Fisher was born in 1805 in Aberdour and died in Dysart in 1883. Her husband Robert Beveridge was a sailor and he was born between 1804-1806 in Abbotshall. I am having a hard time determining his mother's name. I was hoping a MI might give me a the year of his birth and with luck his parents.
Haven't determined the mother and father at the top of 649. Another puzzle to solve.
Beans- I'll pm you and see what you have. With luck, I might have something you can use.

Hi Heather
Iam suggesting you check who their Parents were to see if they do belonged to you
Harriet M BEVERIDGE wife of William T CONSTABLE
who died 25.5.1898 age 22
William BEVERIDGE died 4.7.1939 age 60
I did not include any pictures
Norrie

They are mine. It's Harriet Methven Beveridge and William Methven Beveridge. I have the death certificates for both of them. Their parents were David Beveridge and Harriet Methven. Harriet Methven Beveridge died giving birth to Harriet Methven Beveridge Constable in 1898 and she was married to William Tasker Constable (1871-1962). William Methven Beveridge was married to Agnes More Gourlay. None of these names were on the stone with David Beveridge. If you have a picture of the stones for both/either of these families, I would appreciate it.
-
Could you see if you have any trace of William Cameron and/or wife Janet Barr? They are my 4xGt Grandparents and I know their son John was born in Pathhead in 1811. They also had William (1804 Kirkcaldy), Robert (1807 Kirkcaldy), Helen (1809 Pathhead) and Archibald (1814 Pathhead).
John, my 3x Great grandfather, died in 1871 in Edinburgh so no need to look for him!
Many thanks.

Hi Norrie
Thank you for your kind offer. I understand you do your indexing by 2 names but I am looking for a child whose parents were still alive at his death.
I am looking for a James Johnston (my Great Uncle) born 1915 and who died aged 8 in May1923 of accidental drowning at sea. His residence at time was Rose Street Kirkcaldy.
I can give you name of parents, grandparents and great Grandparents incase he could be buried with his grt Grandparents.
James father David Johnston and Mother Christina Niven.
David Johnston's father and mother David Johnston and Barbara Hunter. David Johnston(as married to Barbara Hunter) father and mother Robert Johnston d1913 and Janet Laing d1919.
Christina Nivens Father and Mother James Niven and Isabella Burt. James Niven father and mother James Niven and Mary Ritchie. Isabella Father and mother Alexander Burt and Jane Mitchell.
Some of these burials could be in Dunfermline or Auchterderan but am sure James would be Kirkcaldy.
Hope the list of names has not overwhelmed you.
Many thanks Jeanette

I wonder if you would mind having a look & letting me know if you have a head stone from Dysart Cemetery for :
John Mavor (b 1/8/1870, d 8/10/1936) & his wife
Mary Mavor (nee Syme) (b 25/4/1867, d 4/10/1931)
I know they are both buried there & have the lair reference but haven't been able to find it - not even sure if there is a stone or not.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Norrie
Thanks again for looking for Robert Philp for me in Markinch. Here is my post from this thread from July. I understand now that you need two names, so while (as I say) it is unlikely that Elizabeth (Dewar) Anderson's husband is buried in Dysart, his name was James Anderson.
Hi Norrie,
I left a message on the Markinch gravestones yesterday too. I have lots of folks in the Dysart/Pathhead/Sinclairtown area and would appreciate any stones you might have for them and be willing to share. Here are some of the major ones I am interested in:
Elizabeth (Dewar) Anderson - died 24 Apr 1855 in Sinclairtown/St Clairtown at age 69. (She was widowed for a while before her death and I believe her husband is likely buried in Edinburgh where they lived before he died)
Robert Anderson - died 21 Apr 1869 in Pathhead at age 57.
Wife Margaret (Deas) Anderson - died 31 Mar 1877 in Pathhead at age 66.
Margaret's parents -
John Deas, died 5 Aug 1871 in Dysart, age 91.
Margaret (Page) Deas, died 27 Sep 1855 in Dysart.
Margaret's twin sister -
Rachel (Deas) Anderson, died 22 Jan 1891 in Dysart, age 80.
Husband John Anderson, died 2 Aug 1855 in Dysart, age 48.

Hi, I am new to this site :D, I am researching an Agnes Wilson, born in Cupar, Fife abt 1851. I was wondering if you could help, as I cannot find anything on her after 1881 and was wondering if your Agnes Wilson could be her. I found one web page that said an Agnes Wilson married an Andrew Dryburgh but it didn't mention her sons William or Robert so not sure if it is the same person. Hope you can help as I am stuck , thanks Brenda x

Hi Norrie
I very much appreciate the work that you do. Many of the children's birth years have been estimated from the census records up to 1911.
David Peebles was bc Feb 1841 at Kingsbarns d 27 Jan 1928 age 86. [ no record of birth/baptism found] On the 1841 census of Kingsbarns he was aged 4 mths.
There was a previous David b 22 Oct 1839 d 11 Oct 1840 Kingsbarns to Robert Peebles and Ann Ramsay.
From 1881 to 1911 census, David was at Dysart. I don't have the death certificate for Ann Kinley d 1893 but she was bc1844.
Davina d Mar 1896 was bc1885 -- Jane d Apr 1899 bc1882 --James K. d 1916 bc 1886 --Robert d 16 Aug 1933 bc 1878 and Elizabeth d Apr 1959 bc 1880.
Ann Kinley Peebles d 11 Feb 1994 aged 86 was bc 1908. On the 1911 census she is listed as a grand dau aged 3. I'm certain that she was the illeg. dau of Elizabeth. I made an error on a request for Ann Ramsay d 14 Jun 1860 Kilconquhar as she is buried in the churchyard Carnbee.

Above Margaret Brown died 12.5.1903 age 63
[snip]
Norrie,
Thanks! Apologies for the delay in replying, I literally only just spotted this reply:-(
Capt. William Couper is gg-grandfather's brother and somewhere there is a letter by him written in Rawalpindi in 1861. He joined the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders in 1852 (claiming he was 17!) and I believe he was at Balaclava . . .
I had assumed he had stayed in India as he transferred to a "native" regiment for a promotion to Sergeant but I didn't follow his records after the transfer.
If you have an image of his gravestone that would be fantastic!

Norrie,
I had most of the information but there were a few nuggets that I will follow up.
Two items that items that have always made me wonder and I have not been successful in investigating have been:
1) The parents of Ann Grant who married William Smart. All I have been able to determine is that their possible names were John Grant and Eliza and possibly lived in Banffshire, Scotland. No information on siblings or parents. Their daughter was Margaret Smart.
2) Donald G. Smart (Son of David Smart and Margaret Smart) born 1890 (Landsend, Falkland, Fife), out of wedlock. Who was he real father (Brodie has been named, an irishman). I have not been able to establish the Brodie's living near Margret. I have Donald traced to Kirkcaldy in 1911 but he does not show up anywhere until he goes to Australia, then to Canada where he married Lillian Andrews and his bother (John aka Jack) marries Lillian's sister. Lillian's family settled in Kerrobert, Saskatchewan, Canada. Once Donald and Lillian married they moved to Bruderhiem, Alberta, Canada. Donald passed away in Ft. Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada in the 1970's. I have him entering Canada three times between 1912 and 1915. I am trying to find any information regarding Donald between 1902 and 1912. I have him leaving Cape Town to Australia. He was supposed to have worked his way around by working on ships.
If you have any information regarding these two quandries i would appreciate the assistance.
That said thank you very much for the time and effort that have you spent already.

Hi Norrie,
I'm very impressed with all this hard work you are putting in for family researchers., it really is fantastic. I was wondering if you have come across any of my ancestors in these cemeteries -
George Smart 1790 - 1863 and his wife Margaret Shand who died in 1844 (bit uncertain about birth date, between 1802 - 1806) Their son David Smart and his family have an impressive headstone in Dysart Cemetery, I thought they could also be buried nearby.
I was also looking for John Allan 1821 - 1906 and his wife Helen Penman 1828 - 1908. They had at least 13 children and always lived in Dysart.
Thanks,
Michael
-
Norrie,
Looked from the maternal and paternal naming sequencing of the Smart family and James/Peter/Alexander/Elspet do not show up in at all. This is in my line and those of the siblings.
John Farmer is a hit, confirmed what pieces of information I was putting together.
Again hats off to you!!

Hi Michael sorry nothing for above on index, Let me know who
their children married.
I do have the headstone for David & Christina do you require a copy?
I was also looking for John Allan 1821 - 1906 and his wife Helen Penman 1828 - 1908. They had at least 13 children and always lived in Dysart.
Nothing for John & Helen but could have some stones for their Children
James & Helen Weepers
David & Isabella Herd
John & Mary Burt

Norrie
-
Thanks so much for looking. Yes I would love to see a copy.
As for the Allans, I only know what happened to two of their daughters -
Eliza or Betsy Allan (1865 - 1896) married Matthew Penman (1865 - 1941) He remarried after her death, to his cousin Isabella Penman.
Catherine or Kate Allan (1849 - 1913) married John Mcleod (1849 - 1919) I know that they are buried in Dysart Cemetery but I believe that either they never had a headstone or it was cleared away by the council because of the vandalism.
I don't know who the rest of the children married but they were -
henry b 1848
william b 1850
james b 1853
john hardie b 1856
david b 1857
robert b 1859
helen b 1860

Norrie: Thank you so very much for your response to my message about Alexander Page and Janet Kilgour Page. You have given me some excellent information. I have looked and looked for Janet Page the daughter of James Page 1819 and his wife Elizabeth (Betsy) Kellock. I found Janet on the 1861 census with her father James 1819 (my gg grandfather) and his second wife Margaret Kinghorn, her step-mother (the parents of my g grandfather also James 1864). I could not find her death in 1861 but I will look again in Scotlands People.
Alexander Page and Janet Kilgour Page had eight children that I know of:
Alexander Page bn 1801 - dd 1864 married Janet Law bn 1801
Janet Page 1802 - 1865 married Andrew Mitchell 1802-1869
Christian Page 1808 - death unknown, spouse unknown
Elizabeth 1812 - 1858 married David Gourlay 1811 - 1878
David Page 1814 death unknown, spouse unknown
John Page 1817 - 1883 married Helen Walker 1816 - 1886
James Page 1819 - 1884 at Fife & Kinross Asylum Cupar married twice 1st. Elizabeth kellock 1822 - 1858, 2nd wife Margaret Kinghorn 1825 - 1904. James & Margaret were my g g grandparents.
Jean/Jane Page 1825 - 1853 married William Anderson 1827 - 1885. Both died in Australia.
I am very interested in obtaining more information about the parents Alexander Page and Janet Kilgour if you can help it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you again.

I all, I recently obtained a copy of the Scottish Monumental Inscriptions
for Hayfield Cemetery in Kirkcaldy the cemetery opened for burials
in 1939 and is still in use today
So I will also check that cemetery when dealing with enquires
for Kirkcaldy Cemeteries
to check this site I will still require the Male & Female names you
are looking for.
eg John BROWN & Mary WHITE etc.

Hi Norrie,
I am requesting information with reference to my grandparents whom I believe are buried at Hayfield Cemetery. They both died when I was a small child and my father now has dementia and cannot clarify where they are laid to rest. I would be very grateful if you know if they are at hayfield andthe position of the grave so I can visit.

Hi Norrie
My first post, so a little nervous :)
I am looking for the headstones of a few ancestors from Kirkcaldy and am hoping you may be able to help.
John BIRRELL (d.1832) who is buried with wife JEAN (nee WYLIE) (d.1845?) and daughter HELEN (surname RITCHIE) (d. 1858?)
There are a few BIRRELL's and RITCHIE's I am after, but this is the main one.
Thanks in advance for your time. Hope it's not too much trouble.
Leonie.

Hi Leonie welcome to Roots Web, that what we are here for to help
The following information may be of some use.
It would appear that they are buried in Pathhead Feuars Cemetery
There is no Headstone for Birrell left in the cemetery
Perhaps they may have been removed in 1862, when the burial ground
was levelled and the headstones placed in an orderly manner
John Birrell & Jean Wylie married 17.10.1813 Dysart

Hi Norrie
Thanks so much for all that information! Much more than I expected. Answered some questions and confirmed some other facts, so I'm very happy. :)
Shame about there being no headstones, but am very happy with all I did get. I really appreciate your efforts.
Thanks again,

Hi Norrie
Could you please check if you have any record of Alexander Peebles bc 1805 and his wife Margaret Davidson.
The last record found on them was on the 1881 census at Abbotshall, Kirkcaldy with Alexander Peebles aged 74 b Carnbee and his wife aged 69.
I have checked Scotland's People for a record of their death and cannot find them.
Regards
Annette

Hi Annette sorry can't find anything on index for Alexander & Margaret
see they had a number of children who did they marry.
can check index for them to see if their parents are there
Norrie

Hi Norrie
Thank you. I'm interested to find the death record of Alexander to see if he is the son of James Peebles and Margaret Scott. None of the death indexes that I checked seemed to fit. I found he and his wife on the 1881 census at Abbotshall . I was hoping to find his death there.
Their children that I found marriages for were George m 12 Aug 1854 to Janet Turnbull [they emigrated to New Zealand], Janet m 31 Oct 1857 to William Webster, Robert m 29 Mar 1877 to Ann Watson, Agnes m 24 Nov 1866 to Hugh Mason. James is cited as insane on the 1851 c.

Hi again Norrie,
I was wondering if you had come across a headstone for David Anderson Reid 1831 - 1902 in Bennochy Cemetery in Kirkcaldy, he is buried with his wife Jessie Brown 1833 - 1916, and who I think is their daughter Margaret who died in 1902.
Also if you have come across any other of their children in Dysart or Kirkcaldy -
Two of David's children from his first marriage who came to Dysart with the family from Edinburgh -
David Reid b 1852
James Reid b 1858
Jessie's children from her first marriage -
Ann Cane b 1858
Elizabeth Cane b 1856 who married Andrew Melville
Then David and Jessie's children
Charles Reid 1872 - 1872
Alexander Reid b 1863. He was still living in Dysart in 1916 but I am not sure when he died
Andrew Sutherland Reid b 1868. He married Jane Ormiston Purves Findlay
Caroline Reid b 1870. She married John Dickson Roberston.
Jessie Brown Reid b 1866
Sorry for the overload of information, thanks again for your time and help
Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael nothing on David & Jessie or the rest of the family
other than
Alexander Reid b 1863. could this be him

Hello again Norrie, Thanks so much for the information. I am not really sure that the Walter Foster I have been tracking is the right one. He was my Dad's biological Father of whom we know very little. I was in Kirkcaldy in 2006 and spent some time at the local library trying to find things. I found a death notice for Walter Foster husband of Annie MacIntosh. Through the years I had heard that he was a miner and killed in an accident. The death notice said that he was killed accidently and he was the right age I thought but I guess I am barking up the wrong family tree. Thanks so muh for your help.

can you comment.
Yours Aye,

Norrie, the headstone looks like it is in a distressed condition
can you comment.Hi Angus Remember Barony Dysart is an Old Cemetery
not been in use since early 1900s unless you had lairs their
for family use.
We did suffer a lot of problems with vandals in the 90s they thought
it was fun to topple headstones, and in the early 2003 the council
toppled stones which whey thought were unsafe, ( Health & Safety)
mostly they left them face down lying on their own grave, not being able
to read the inscription
the council who upkeep the cemetery ( cut the grass ) is not responsible
to reposition headstones
I include a general photo of the Graveyard you can see the number
of stones on the ground

Hello Norrie
Thanks for your generous offer to help.
I am trying to track down some of my wife's family in Kirkcaldy (or maybe Pathhead or Dysart).
The person I am trying to find is Wiliam WEIR born 5 February 1870. His father was also William Weir and his mother Janet (nee Laing). I am struggling to find any record of his death.
William's wife was Caroline nee Burbeck. She died on 1 August 1946 at 90 Victoria Rd in Kirkcaldy. The death record does not show William as deceased so I am assuming he was still alive in 1946.
Thanks & regards
Ian A

Norrie-
Would you believe that none of those are in my family??? That's very surprising that you didn't fine anyone since I have dates that were based on the monument inscriptions. Did you look under "Fife" as well as Fyfe? Just a thought....
Thanks!!

Thank you for looking. YOu are a fantastic resource person Norrie.
Are there no more details either on the James Williamson senior and then junior and his wife Eliz. Whyte/White?
-
Also would love further details on Christian Williamson, wife of Robert Cock who died in 1836. Her birth year might confirm if she is indeed the daughter of James Williamson senior and Margaret PHILPS (it is the mother we haven't confirmed but probability is increasing). Still trying to find the death/burial of this lady somewhere in Fife 1793-1821. Would love a list of all Marg. Philp/Williamson burials in Fife. One has to match! How we love unusual names in genealogy and don't like common ones!

Posted by Mixedupmob in June, you suould get in touch with this person
I am looking for anyone researching the following Williamson family:
James b. 1811
Alexander b. 1814
John b. 1818
Thomas b. 1820
All were born in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland, the children of James Williamson and Elizabeth Whyte. They all arrived in Tasmania on board the Dunmore which left Leith on 19 July 1830 and arrived in Hobart Town on 28 February 1831. Their sister Janet was also on board with them but I think I have discovered what happened to her - waiting on a death transcript to confirm my theory.
I would really like to know what happened to the boys and so far have not had any luck in my search.

Hi Norrie
Looking for a Peter Westwood who appears to have died between the 1861 census and 31 Dec 1865 - parents are Peter Westwood and Mary Webster. They had two sons named Peter the 1st born 7 Jul 1856 (he is on the 1861 census) and the 2nd born 31 Dec 1865 and he is on the 1871 census.
Also a Mary Westwood born 7 Jul 1856 (Peter's twin by the look of it). Looks like she died prior to the 1861 census.
Thank you.

Hello Norrie!
Do you very many Robert Beveridges in the cemetery in Dysart? I can't remember if I've asked you before to look, and sorry if I am repeating myself! You found David Beveridge (1837-1916) and his family in Bennochy Cemetery, Kirkcaldy, but I am trying to locate his father, one of many Robert Beveridges in the area. He was born around 1803 in Abbotshall and died between 1861 & 1871 in Dysart. He was married to Cecilia Fisher (1805-1883). Their daughter Mary was married to Thomas Gray Robb. They all died in Dysart.
Thanks!

Robert is on the 1861 census, but his wife Cecilia is "head" of house on 1871 and listed at a widow in 1881. Maybe he did die at sea, but where did his wife go? She lived on "Back Street" from 1851 to her death in 1883.

Hi Diddy re Robert Beveridge & Ceillia Fisher
sorry can find no headstone in my index for them
as they died 1861+ 1883 they would more than likely have been buried
in Dysart Cemetery opened for burials 1860 and is still having burials today
have checked the lair records for other Dysart Cemeteries
Pathhead Feuars, Barony,St Denis, and St Clairtown Feuars.but nothing.
re Cecila Beveridge staying at 11 Back street in 1881 Census
have a map of the area showing 11 to the right of EU church
about across the road, My son presently lives at No 1 to 5 Back Sttreet
now called Pathhead Court between the Burial ground(Pathhead Feuars)
and EU church, the houses to the right of the church were demolished
in early 1900 to make way for Linolenm Works

Thanks for all your work! I appreciate it. I would never have thought it that difficult to locate a grave until I went to the Mitchell and tried to look at the old microfilms of the graves in Glasgow- forget that!! The films were in horrible shape and too many to look through, plus I later learned from the Glasgow Herald that they were cremated!

What a generous thing to do…. I wondered if you could kindly check for any Kellock or Reid burials, if it’s not too much trouble:
David Kellock, Jean Reid Kirkcaldy, Fife, Dron
I have David Kellock married to Jean Reid. From Scotland's People, under Register of Marriages for Kirkcaldy, 1755, it reads: "contracted in order to marriage David Kelloch founder, of this parish and Jean Reid in the Parish of Dron and after proclamation were married the 3rd of February"
I don’t have David or Jean’s birth dates, but I believe these are their death dates:
David Kellock, son of David Kellock b? died Jan 1784 as shown: "Burgess Kirkcaldy: David Kellock, founder, son of David Kellock, founder(?) in Kirkcauldy 3.1.1784; Thomas son of David 29.10.1788; William, clock and watch monger, son of David 3.1.1788"
Jean Reid on 03 Feb 1755 in Kirkcaldy, Fife b? died 24 Jan 1792 as follows: "RID, JEN: spouse of David Kellock, founder; 24/25 Jan 1792" (This was listed in the list of Reid deaths so it was probably actually Reid) Died on the 24th, buried on the 25th.
From the above I am surmising that David Kellock’s father was David Kellock, and Thomas Kellock and William Kellock are his brothers.
I wondered if you have photos of their headstones, which might list their birthdates (of David Kellock and Jean Kellock, nee Reid) and the birthdates of their brothers.
Any info at all would be helpful.
Thank you in advance

Hi Chica can I ask what sort of dates are we looking at ?
Norrie

Hi Norrie:
Thanks so much for the response and for all the work you have done. For those of us that live in other countries, being able to talk to someone there is amazing!!
I think we're looking at the late 1800s and early 1900s for Smart/Watson and the late 1800s for Brown/Bryce. No places for Brown/Bryce deaths but think it might be Dysart as I think Elizabeth Watson died there and the two children obviously got together as David Smart married Janet Brown.
This is the same line that ended up in Kinghorn with the marriage of James Christie McCurrach to Elizabeth Watson Smart in 1918. James was from Govan. His father was also James and his mother was Catherine Christie.
James McCurrach's (Sr) parents were William McCurrach and Ann Taylor (Elgin) and Catherine Christie's parents were James Christie and Christina Morrison (don't know where they were from but would guess Elgin or area if their daughter married William and Ann's son).
Thanks Norrie. I really appreciate your help!!!
