Thanks so much for looking Norrie,  I thought this would be an easy one!

My mum remembers walking through the cemetery regularly with her father as a little girl in the 40's, although she was never told why (her parents were very tight lipped on everything)!

After doing our family tree, I discovered that William and Jane moved up from the Borders about 1898, and moved first to Aberdour (maybe they are buried there).  Not that long after, they moved to Woodmill Street, Dunfermline, as my great grandfather became a gardener in the Glen.

We put 2 and 2 together and came to the conclusion that my great grandparents were buried in Leys Park, hence the frequent visits!

This is the info I have on them

William Gray born 1858 Roxburghshire died around 1939
Jane Frances Gibson born 1870 Northumberland died around 1915

As I said Norrie, I thought this would be a nice quick easy one for you.  But at least if they're not there, it will save my poor auld mum, wandering round the cemetery with a bunch of flowers to put on their grave, as she was planning to when the weather eventually cheers up!

Thanks again,
Annie (Bodrum, Turkey)
