Hi, Have just seen your post.

I do have some Rae's (or Rea's) in my tree but unfortunately do not link to yours. However I thought that this monumental Inscription from Rerrick cemetery may be of interest to you.

William RAE died Auchencairn 28.6.1889 72 yrs,
Wife Janet BELL died Auchencairn 13.9.1895 84 yrs,
Son David died Dundrennan infant.
Son Thomas died Auchencairn 31.7.1846 4yr 3 mths,
Daughter Mary Buchannan died Auchencairn 12.3.1899 51 yrs.

Hi Matt, 

Thank you for your kind thought in posting the info from the cemetery inscription. It is much appreciated.

Did you get this yourself from personal observation or did it come via the Internet or some other source?

My reason for asking is that if it was through personal observation, could I please request a photo of the grave if it is not too much trouble?

Whatever the outcome I really appreciate your time in posting this to me.

Best Regards,

Hi, The details are taken from a booklet published by the Scottish Genealogy Society. There are 7 books & cover inscriptions taken from the headstones in the various churchyards & cemetery's in Kirkcudbrightshire.
If you can e-mail me I will scan the page & forward to you. I am going up to Scotland for a week in April next year to search the cemetery's again, so if you can wait a while I will get a photo for you then.

Matt,

That is a very generous offer - I sure am glad to wait for a photo.

The Campbell/Rae relationship is not actually of my family - I started to help a guy I met in the local library and I somehow got caught up in it. Still, that does not matter because I received an enormous amount of help when I first started back in 2001 - I am more than happy to pay that back in some way.

Please let me knw if you have any Australian questions which I may be able to help you with,

Best Regards,

Matt,

I am a sports-lover and the colour of my blood reflects that!

I am aware however that there is another team in Liverpool - Liverpool Reserves!

Best Wishes,

Phil
