i currently live just around the corner from Abbotshall in Kirkcaldy (less than 100 yrds away from the area!)
I also do family history and have several family trees back to 1500's - unfortunately haven;t worked on this line but will now!

Catherine was married TWICE!  She married a John Findlay, who died in 1851.... and they had a daughter Agnes Findlay.  She remarried in 1852 to John Malcolm!  Hoping this sorts out the problem!  Contact me if you need to!  This is my family history too!

Noticed about John that they had the wrong birthplace!  I have him as being born on 6 Jan 1829 at CREICH, Fife!  (keeping in mind that in those days many people could not read or write and the registrar wrote down what he - thought - he heard - hence CRIEFF!!) This is part of our family history if you want to get in touch!

Fife / Re: Abbotshall Parish, Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland
« on: Saturday 03 January 15 11:04 GMT (UK)  »
"Abbotshall parish lies on the Firth of Forth, bounded by Kirkcaldy, Kinghorn, Auchtertool, Auchterderran and Dysart. It is about 4 miles long by 2.5 miles broad. The great majority of the inhabitants live in Linktown, a burgh of regality under Colonel Ferguson of Raith. It is part of the parliamentary burgh of Kirkcaldy and forms a continuation of it. The small village of Chapel is also in the parish. The parish shares fully in the trade and manufactures of Kirkcaldy. In the Linktown, there is a gas work, a pottery, a brick and tile work, some hundred of hand looms, a sail canvas manufactory, a linen bleachfield, a dye works, spinning mills and a number of corn mills. In addition to the parish church, there are a UP Church and 2 Free Churches at Abbotshall and Invertiel." edited from Westwood's Directory for the counties of Fife & Kinross published 1862.
Hope this helps?
