Hi Diddymiller,

How nice to hear from you, and I note your interest in this topic. I don't have your experience with such matters but would simply mention that the Wilkie's and Hugh's (?Heugh's) appear to have accumulated around Kilmany and Markinch.

I have a genuine interest where members of the family were laid to rest - not just a morbid fascination, I hasten to add!

There are several people with an interest in the Wilkie/Hugh (?Heugh) connection, and it may be that I will have to make a new posting with a link connecting it to this one. That, I suppose would depend on just how much interest is generated.


Best wishes to you and yours,


Tom.

Hello again, Diddymiller,

Our postings must have passed each other somewhere over Saudi Arabia! That's just terrific, and the area stretching from the Lomond Hills through Kettle, the little town that I remember as Ladybank, Collessie and Cults seems to be of great interest. Yup! Seems great to me, and whatever you can do with Monumental Inscriptions around the area would be greatly appreciated.

My very best wishes to that family of yours that you're so proud of.

My very best wishes,


Tom.

Hi,

Thanks for that information, Diddy. Like you, I have quite a large file on the Reverend David Wilkie as well as Sir David Wilkie, the artist. Because we're looking at Cults in Fife, I couldn't help but notice a record in my personal files about a David WILKIE born in Cults in 1785.

The first note I had was from a record submitted by a member of the LDS Church after 1991. As you would know, I would prefer to see an extracted record, and so went on to S.P. There I found a David Wilkie born 4th December, 1785 at Cults in Fife. The parents names are shown as David Wilkie and Isobel LITESTER. The dates, and the Cults location as well as the names, are quite interesting, wouldn't you agree? The name Isobel LISTER doesn't seem too far removed, does it?

The burial places may turn up a few surprises for us, I would think.

Best wishes to you and yours,


Tom.

Hi,

      I note the interest in the death places for David WILKIE's family, incidently he has a middle name of GALLOWAY and I still don't know where it originates from.

David died 1898, Little Dunkeld, Perthshire
Margaret, his wife, died 1896, Little Dunkeld, Perthshire
James b 1851, died bef. 1930, Trenton, New Jersey
Allan b 1852, died 1919, Dundee
William b 1855, died 1922, Garngadhill, Lanark
David b 1857, died 1920, Dumbarton
Robert b 1860, died 1939, Dunfermline
Jean b 1867, died 1870, Kettle

From about 1870, David is the publican at the inn at Kettlebridge, the children were being looked after, next door, by his parents-in-law, Allan and Rachel HEUGH
By the 1881 census David is a coachman

Please excuse if I mess up (first time using this site! which was passed on to me by a  fellow researcher.  Any tips would be gratefully received).

My WILKIEs were from Kettle back to David WILKIE & Catherine STARK who married 1750 in Kettle.

I have a lot of event certs for WILKIEs, if I can be of any help - just shout.

Regards
