Hi Angela,   I read with interest your headstone readings.
That was a lot of work!  I have a question you might be able to help me with.    My grandfather Peter Hay died April 6, 1939 and was buried,   quote;  "a pretty long walk" from his home at 33 Backmarch Rd.  Rosyth,  Fife.  Can you suggest names of possible cemeteries?       
                                         any reply greatly appreciate
                                                      regards,  Peter

Hi Peter


i asked the Kirkcaldy Cremotoruim who hold the burial records for rosyth and they said Dunfermline does if you write to the following address or telephone they will be able to give you more info on where they will be buried and who buried with .




The current Lair Registers (dating from 1859) are administered by Fife Council, Cemeteries Department, Dunfermline Crematorium Lodge, Masterton Road, Dunfermline (tel. 01383 724653; fax 01383 738636).



hope this helps

Hi Peter

Douglas Bank cemetery at Pattiesmuir springs to mind as soon as I read your posting.  It's a good walk from Backmarch Road.  It actually lies between Rosyth and Limekilns, not sure, but I think its the A985 (drive it everyday too).

Hi Peter

I've just read the name your interested in, Hay.  I have lots of friends who are Hay's living in Rosyth area. If you find the details your are looking for I would be more than happy to photograph the grave/area for you.

Best wishes

Sleepy

Hi 'sleepy'
 Thanks very much for your help regarding Douglas Bank.
 Regarding the Hays,  it would be great if one of your friends recognized any of the names of these people from the past.       My grandfather Peter Hay married Eliza Aitken in Edinburgh 1897.  They had three children; James , Jessie and my father Peter.   Eliza died during childbirth and grandfather Peter married Mary Alexander.  They had two children;  Stanley and Gretta. 
 Stanley and Gretta were living with their parents on Backmarch Rd. Rosyth during the 1920's and 30's.
 That's all I know.     Thanks again for your help.
 (I tried to reply yesterday but I don't think it worked)
                                                 regards, Peter Hay
