Hi Norrie
Thank you so much for the photograph.

I've spent thirty years looking for the burial of Elizabeth McCrindle Coulter, and you have solved a huge mystery for me!

This is definitely the correct grave. Her father, John Coltart (sic) spelt his name as it appears on the gravestone, however his daughter Elizabeth spelt her name variously, using Coltart (1881) and (1891), Coulter (1901) and (1907). However, on her death certificate, she was referred to as Elizabeth Coltart once more.

I know that William Brown was born in 1884 (1911 census), and that he was dead before Elizabeth in 1950 (as she was described as "widow" on her death certificate).

I know that their son, William Brown, died in 1972 in Leven (Fife), and that his wife, Catherine Briggs died in Kirkcaldy in 1989.

Do you happen to have a photograph of Catherine's Briggs Brown's grave at all. I do not know the month that she died, only the year - 1989.

I can't thank you enough for the help that you have given me so far - you're a star!

Regards
Robert

Hi Norrie
Thank you for your prompt reply.
In answer to your questions, Elizabeth McCrindle Coulter married William Brown (of Balsusney Rd Kirkcaldy) in Calton, Glasgow, 1st April 1907. Elizabeth was the daughter of John Coulter (a shoemaker of Dounepark, Girvan).
According to the 1911 census William and Elizabeth Brown were living in Balsusney Road, Kirkcaldy)
I have Elizabeth McCrindle Brown's death certificate, which states that she died 22 Feb 1950 at Kirkcaldy, aged 71 years.
Elizabeth is described as "widow" of William Brown, and her parents are given as John Coltart (sic), shoemaker (dec.) and Jane Coltart (sic) (M.S. McCrindle) (dec.)
The informant was William Brown, son, of 50 Scoonie Drive, Leven.

That is all the information that I currently have. I'm hoping that you might have a photograph of her grave - as I would love to see it.

Regards
Robert

Hi Norrie
I'm new to the RootsChat and so I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly, however I wondered if you could help me. I'm looking for the burial of Elizabeth Brown (nee Elizabeth McCrindle Coulter) who died in 1950 Kirkcaldy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Robert
