Monimail Cemetery

[Martha Ann]

ANyone familiar withthe graves in Monimail Cemetery?

I am wondering if there are many Bennett's there.  THink there might be a Margaret Bennet from 1949 but am hoping there might also be William Bennett 1935,  Annie Bennett 1911, her son RObert from 1903 and perhaps mention of son Adam who died in the Great War in 1915.

Any help appreciated

Annie

Brilliant.  I did not expect such a quick reply.  Do you know if there are pther Bennett's there?  Probably not because I think the family were originally from Saline, moved to Ratho and then back to Monimail around 1900.

What is the publication you looked up and where is it possible to get a copy ?

Hi Annie

I was  quoting from Publication 17 by the Fife Family History Society
You can buy it  from them http://www.fifefhs.org/   but there are no other
BENNETTs  listed there in Monimail Cemetery

Thanks.  I have other relatives scattered around FIfe so it might be worth getting my hands on a copy.

Cheers

Hi Annie this Publication 17 only covers Auchtermuchty,
Collessie and Monimail, and are most are pre 1855.

Who are you looking for some Names and parishs required

I have an index of a few thousands headstone inscriptions
in various cemerteries in fife but require names to check

eg 1457   Andrew   Burt   Wilhelmina M Drummond

The Bennett's came from Saline so I would be interested in any there.  IF there are too many to mention then I would be particularly interested in James Bennett (born 1767) and his wife Sarah Fotheringham (born 1770).  I don't know when they died though.  However, as the youngest child I know off was born in 1815 I guess it is sometime between after that.  I have a feeling James was a gardener.

I am also interested in the Philips from Crail.George Philips and Isabel Wishart who married there in 1750 but I do not know when they died.  Also John Matthew and Louisa Maver.  Again, married in 1759 but I don't know death date.

If that is not enough info then thanks anyway for the offer.

Cheers

I am looking for a James WILLIAMSON and Margaret SEATH who would have died in the area (probably) after the birth of their second son, James in 1751. They were married in Dunbog in 1748.

I am looking for any information on the family.
Thank you.

Would be interested in any other Williamson's and Seaths in same area around same time.
Thank you so much
