I have some info on the Tasmanian Kirkcaldy link as my grandmother had a grandfather James Kirkcaldy who emigrated from Scotland (1859) with a brother William. He married Elizabeth Turnbull in Launceston, Tas (1862). The two brothers were bap. in Creich, Fife, 1835 & 1837 (ref IGI spelling 'Kirkaldie'). David (1839) appears to be the next brother in the family as mentioned in this forum. My research shows parents were James Kirkcaldy (1808) & Isabella Faernie/Fernie (1815). James (1835) and Elizabeth had 8 children in Tasmania. James (1808) was the son of William Kirkcaldy (1774) and Agnes Brunton. James (1835) had a son also named James (1862), my grandmothers father. I know James (1835) had been in the Crimean War. Does anyone have any info on the Crimea war record of James?

Dear Matown,

Nice to hear from you. Does your post on the Kirkcaldy ancestors mean you are from Australia. My wife and I are. we have posted our tree on Ancestry.com and if you search for William Kirkcaldy you will find that William is the son of William K and Agnes Lumsden/Lumsdain. We have that William as a son of Robert K and Helen Smith/Smyth but we are not sure about it. That Robert and Helen are the direct ancestors of my wife and the originator of this thread jenc. They are 2nd cousins. However we do have quite a bit of info on William K and Agnes Lumsden and some of their other descendants which may help you to fill out your tree. If you do not have access to ancestry then you can email me at (*) and I can send you a descendancy chartfrom William K and Agnes L.
