Apologies again Elizabeth.  I mistakenly gave the surname as Kirkcaldy in my last post when it was actually Kirkaldy.  Try again on SP using this spelling and I'm sure you'll find it.  The same date and place applies - 24 May 1808 Dundee, Angus.  Good luck.

Isles.

Hi Jennifer and Elizabeth,
I'm so sorry to have led you astray by giving the wrong date in my last post.  The entry in Scotlands People is for a David Kirkaldy (note the spelling) born 2 Aug 1808 at Cupar, Fife.  He may not be the person you are searching for but the date of birth fits for someone married in 1829 (?).

Isles.

Hi Jenc

Just picking up on Isle's point on the spelling variants for Kirkcaldy. Have you got David's parents' marriage - this looks a likely entry, an actual extract, on IGI:

ROBERT KIRKALDY  Marriages: Spouse: JANE TAYLOR    
Marriage:  19 MAY 1792  Balmerino, Fife, Scotland

Regards.

Monica

Hi Elizabeth

Remember in Scottish research, the name variants always drive us mad  ;) Sadly, as Jenc is finding, nothing whatsoever showing with any spelling variants of Kirkcaldy for birth in Balmerino, or anywhere else in Fife, to at least a father Robert (in case birth registered in just father's name).

Regards.

Monica  :)

Hi Everyone  Think this is my 'Eureka' moment.   My 'Rootschat' friends have come up trumps again! :)   This surely must be my Robert and Jane.  Was so sure the spelling of the name was Kirkcaldy. Never thought to try the other spelling.  Many many thanks to all
Kincardineshire - Beattie Dickson Tavendale Donaldson Whyte Wishart
Forfar - Adam Grindlay Easson Fyffe Livestone Wilson Fairweather Boath
Fife - Berry Brown Keith Kirkcaldy Walton Johnstone Gourlay Robb Robertson Pattie Stevenson Taylor
Glasgow - Fitzgerald, Campbell, McInnis, Sheriff, (Smith, Chambers.) maybe Ireland
Angus - Saunders, McGregor Richardson  Moore.
Inverness-shire - McLean (I hope)

Monica,

I am interested in Robert Kirkaldy and Jane Taylor's marriage as it could open up another branch of my tree.  Any thoughts on Robert's parents?
