Hi Jac and Diddy

Would you be able to help me with the following deaths-

Arthur Gourlay (Gourley) Born 1761 in Carnbee and his wife Margaret Bennet who married in Carnbee in 1791. They had at least four children in Carnbee between 1791-1802

Thomas Gourlay (Gourley) and his wife Margaret Webster. I haven't found their marriage but they had at least four children in Carnbee between 1761-1777.

Regards
Sneff

Hi Diddy

Thanks for your quick reply.

Looks like the Thomas Gourlay who died at Carnbee and the two Arthurs who died at Elie are mine.

Thanks again
Sneff

Hello Diddy,
What a great job you have been doing!

I have Robert Wilson born 1796 and his wife Margaret Keddie born 1799 in Kirkcaldy Fifeshire and Abbotshall Kirkcaldy Fifeshire.  1855 may be a little too early for them.

Their parents were
John Wilson and Janet Duncan
John Keddie and Anne Chapman both Abbotshall Kirkcaldy Fife

I f you have time could you see if you can find anything please,
Regards,
Abiam
