Title: Looking for burials Largo Fife.
Post by: patvp1 on Tuesday 05 February 13 23:59 GMT (UK)
My g/g/aunt Isobel McLaren born 1853 Port of Monteith, died 08 Aug 1939 Largo Fife, and her husband Robert Wilson died 01 Apr 1928 Largo, Fife.  Both lived at Lundin Links.  I have no idea as to cemeteries in this area  ??? so can someone help please.  Would also be interested in the deaths and burials of their daughter Kate Fowlis Wilson who married a James Forrester they married at Elie in Fife and as James was witness to both the death of Isobel and Robert would have been in the general area.
Any help appreciated..thank you as always.
Regards Patvp

There are 2 Cemeteries in Largo (which is split into Upper Largo & Lower Largo):

Largo Cemetery , North Feus, Upper Largo, KY8 6ER, and
Largo And Newburn Parish Church , Church Place, Upper Largo, KY8 6EH

The records may be in the County Buildings Cupar with the Burials Clerk in the Council's Bereavement Services: Tel  01334 659336 or Liz Murphy, Bereavement Services Manager at Kirkcaldy Tel: 08451 55 55 55 + Ext 47 66 81
 
I've just been in touch with the Burials Clerk in Cupar regarding my Great Grandmother and they were most helpful - they got back to me in a couple of day with the name of the cemetery and the plot number.  It's easier for them to look back if you have date & place of death.
