Fife / Re: HEADSTONES in Kirkcaldy Cemeteries(Part 2)

Hi Norrie,

Thankyou so much for looking.

I think the Bennochy cemetery Youngers listed on the index for the CD you mention will probably be the ones I have already downloaded, which were all later generations and I can't link them in to my family at this point in time.

Can I just clarify whether you checked the other cemeteries, or did you only look at Bennochy?

On "Find A Grave" there are transcriptions for Dysart and Abbotshall, but not the names I am looking for - but I don't know if they have transcribed ALL the interments for those cemeteries or just some of them.

It's so frustrating. I will be in Kirkcaldy tomorrow, but don't have time to search every cemetery - I was just hoping to find out which one my Younger ancestors might be buried in.

Thanks again,

Ian

Hi Norrie,

Hoping desperately you may be able to help. I have looked at various online indexes of burials, including paying to download details of four burials in Bennochy Cemetery which turned out not to be the names I was looking for!

My dad's family have lived in and around Kirkcaldy for generations, and I am trying to find graves for his grandparents (my great-grandparents) Andrew Nairn Younger, born abt 1863, died 1947 aged 83 - living at Massereene Road at time of death; his wife Beatrice (Howie), born abt 1862, died 1936 aged 72 - living at Overton Road at time of death.

Also looking for Andrew's parents - i.e. my dad's great-grandparents. Thomas Younger, born abt 1830, died 1904, aged 73 - living at Invertiel Road at time of death, and his wife Jane (or Jean) Nairn, born 1830, died 1914 aged 84 - was still living at Invertiel Road at time of death.

I am currently visiting Scotland, with my parents, but have to leave on Thursday morning - it would mean so much to my dad and me if we could visit any graves before we go.

Can you see if you have any of these in your collection.

Many thanks,

Ian Younger
