Hi sarnia23,
Please don't be offended but just read the post of Russ58 again carefully. You will see that he says Janet was born in 1795 which fits with our Janet. He says that her husband Francis Birrell was born about 1790 which also fits with the information we have. They were married on the 8 Nov 1812 in Balmerino.
I am fairly confident that the Janet you mentioned is from a different Kirkcaldy line. Yes you are right about there being many was to spell Kirkcaldy. We have so far I think; Kirkcaldy, Kirkcaldie, Kirkaldy, Kirkaldie, Kirkealdy, Kirkealdie, Kirkady, Kircaldy, Kircaldie.
We do believe that all the lines will join up if we can go back to about 900ad which will be a while though simply because there are records lost or missing or whatever. The important thing is to keep researching and contributing to sites where people are trying to find their ancestors.
We are all here to help each other and that is what it is about and we all make mistakes.
Cheers and Happy New Year.
