Thank you very much every one for your replies.

You have all been very helpful, given me some useful idea's on researching further.

Kirk sessions and Scottish papers will be a good start.

Afternoon All

Possible ancestor death OPR

James Stevens an elder died here age 80 1850 New Luce

I'm wondering what is  ""An Elder" in 1850, Is it just because he was old?( other deaths for males similar on same record did not state this)

help appreciated :)

I pass the cemetery most days on my lunch time walk.The cemetery is still there but the church no longer exists.
There are a few old stones however the gate is locked. I was lucky one day on my walk to get a look around it as the grass cutters were in there, there are some very old headstones.

I  can’t remember , I would have to fish it out .  I will have a look and see,  it’s been a couple of years since I looked at it. However think you might be right.
Thanks again

So frustrating  just makes it more difficult to know if you have the correct ancestor. ::)

Thanks Forfarian for this information  :)

Thank you Rosie.

I did order that certificate a couple of years ago as I was convince I had the right Robert because of the birth date. Sadly it did not give any names of parents if I remember correctly. So I dont know if I have the right certificate. I did keep it just in case.

Thank you :)
