Title: Searching for a burried relative in Dysart
Post by: Andy S on Saturday 08 December 18 12:01 GMT (UK)
My great great great Grandmother Helen Sutherland was buried in Dysart in 1879 according to her death certificate. I cannot find her grave stone or anything to indicate where exactly she rests.
She was married to Benjamin Sutherland who was born in Gallatown KDY. He died many years earlier but I cannot find his death cert or anything about him. One son, Charles has signed the death cert . The other son was called John.
Can anyone possibly help me find out where Helen's grave might be ?

Hi Andy,

Welcome to RootsChat. :)

I presume KDY is Kirkcaldy in Fife, Scotland?

You might have more luck if you posted this on the Scotland Forum?  I don't know if a Moderator could move your post?.

Good luck,

Kit

Added: I now see that your search for Helen's burial is in Dysart, but still in Fife, Scotland

This topic has now been relocated.

The other topic is on page 29 of a very long topic and may not been seen.
