Title: Black family - from Ceres and Kemback area
Post by: KylieG on Tuesday 23 April 13 12:28 BST (UK)

Hi, I'm looking for any information on William Black b. abt 1835 Ceres (m. 19 Oct 1872 (Kemback) Isabella Watson Millar (b. 7 Jul 1850 St Andrews; d. 4 Jan 1876 Blebo Mills, Kemback)).  Three sons:
William b. 14 Aug 1873 Kemback
James Millar b. abt 1874 Kemback
Thomas John b. 30 Dec 1875 Blebo Mills

This is all I have sorry and am having difficulty finding the right William Black in searches.  Has anyone else been researching this family at all and would be willing to provide advice?

Many thanks,
Kylie.

Hi Kylie ,

Do you have an occupation for William Black ?
Think he may have remarried to a Fanny Lawrence in 1877 at Cupar Fife.
