:)Hi all; we are new to this but as my wife is a direct descendant of the elusive David Kirkcaldy/Kirkaldy/or whatever suits, we were really surprised to come across this topic and have found it very interesting. we have been searching my wifes family and had struggled to find the birth and/or death of Robert the son of David and Euphemia. We finally found his death just the other day and were really excited.
We have also struggled to find his father David until now. and All we can say is thanks for all your hard work. Just to give you a heads up on my wifes line here it is as briefly as I can put it:
Leslie Jean Haynes (nee Kirkcaldy) dau. of Robert Dempster Kirkcaldy son of Robert Kirkcaldy son of David Kirkcaldy son of Robert Kirkcaldy son of the elusive David and Euphemia.
All Leslie's cousins in Fife seemed to know were those buried in Leuchars and Tayport. We will have to send Leslie's cousin Robert Kirkcaldy from St Andrews off to Moonzie to see if he can find the grave stone which may no longer be legible.
We have only one question from the thread and that is how do we know that David's parents are Robert and Jane as we found the parents of a David Kirkaldy born Cupar 02/Aug/1808 and they were; William Kirkaldy and Helen Russell? we are probably amateurs at this so any confirmation of the parents would be fantastic. If you would like a copy I can send it.
Cheers from Downunder.
