Thanks for the photo Norrie. Now living in Australia I have no idea where most of my family are buried.

Hi Norrie, Regarding St.Dr 845 my Aunt Elizabeth Patterson was married to an Alex Barclay and she died about 1998. Is this her or just a coincidence?

Gerry, Margaret was my GGgrandmother so our common ancestor would be our GGGGparents James Thomson and Townsend Dick. Cheers Pete.

Gerry, I've solved the riddle. There were indeed 2 Townsend Thomsons. Your relative Jane(t) Townsend b. 1930 to Robert and Mary died 1914 and my relative Townsend b. 1931 to John and Euphemia died also in Leslie in 1910. She was single. She may have had a child though as the relative who signed her death certificate was named as her grandson. Pete

Gerry, I have 3 records of Townsend and non of them mention the name Jane. My family line is through John Thomson & Euphemia Burt. The Towsend name comes from her grandmother Townsend Dick married to James Thomson. They had a son Robert and I think possibly Townsend Thomson and Jane Townsend Thomson were 2 separate people and were cousins. Pete.

Hi Gerry, Townsend Thomson isn't my direct relative, her sister Margaret is. I couldn't find Margaret in the 1841 census but Townsend was living away from her family in Coaltown of Balgownie with the Gibson family as a 10 year old servant. She was back with her family again in Leslie in 1951 working as a flax spinner. I'm not sure what happened to her father John. I can't find his death or any sign of him in censuses.

Thankyou so much for the photos Norrie. I was at my grandfather's funeral in 1968 and for some reason didn't think there was a headstone.

Norrie, #31 Margaret Thomson is my direct descendant and she married Peter Patterson and died in Dunfermline in 1902. I have copies of the IGI’s of all the births you mentioned.
#1899 is my gran and grandad & #105 would have to be my g.g.aunt. Fanny Thomson.
Could I have copies of them? I appreciate the time and effort you put in. Thanks. Pete.

Norrie, If you could check a couple that I thought might have been buried in Dysart but lived mostly in the Wemyss.
John Thomson d? Euphemia Burt d 1886
My 96 year old aunt had told me that my g.granfather Robert Andrew Dunsmuir was buried in East Wemyss cemetery and there were a number of family names on his gravestone. Has she got the wrong graveyard?
