Title: Lookup Request - Wilkie Gravestones at Ceres Parish Church, Fife
Post by: Roberta Wilkie on Friday 16 January 26 02:29 GMT (UK)

Hello, I’m researching my Wilkie family from Ceres and would be very grateful for a lookup in the Ceres Parish Church monumental inscriptions booklet.
I’m looking for any WILKIE gravestones, especially the following individuals:
- Thomas Wilkie (1724–1789) – likely buried at Ceres
- Alexander Wilkie (1749–1833) – son of Thomas
- Margaret Bryce – wife of Thomas
- Agnes Milson/Milison – wife of Alexander
- Any other Wilkie stones from the 1700s–1800s
If anyone has access to the Ceres MI booklet or has photographed the kirkyard, I would really appreciate any inscriptions, stone numbers, or notes.
Thank you very much for any help.
Roberta Wilkie

Another useful resource is the Fife burials index which is available on FindMyPast.

Thought it is a Pay site.

FindMyPast is a subscription site, but many libraries have subscriptions to it where you can access information without a personal subscription.

You can sign up for a free account with FindMyPast and search.  The MI's appear to be transcripts but I understand that register images etc are available by micropayment using the free account.  I have not looked at what is available for the Wilkie family

Signed up along time ago and the free period is over!

Your local library would seem the best place then as mentioned above by Forfarian
