Hi Elaine,

Many thanks for looking.

The Finnick side was definately from Scotland. However, I know from the 1841 and 51 census Mary's father Philip was from Ireland, but as is often the case it doesn't say where.

I must admit it hadn't occured to me she may have gone to Ireland. Thanks for the suggestion.

Kind regards,

Alison

Hi Elaine,
  Do you have any Fairfull,s in Auchterderran by any chance. Christine.

Hi Christine,

I was just searching for an uncle of mine when I came across a really interesting
Fairfull death in Auchterderran. As I remembered telling you I'd never heard that
name before, I immediately thought of you. Let me know if you would like details.
It is for an Andrew Fairfull who was murdered in 1928.

Hi Elaine,
Is it in Cardenden ? I found a death cert saying he had be found strangled in an avary?. I had a look at newspapers at Kirkcaldy Library but didn,t find anything.I would love the details.
I have another Fairfull death in Auchterderran who was shot poaching but that was a lot earlier. Christine.
