Hi Beans     No Nisbet / Burt headstones in my index, and no Nisbets in the Kirkcaldy Cemeteries in index.

Hello Norrie,

When you've got a minute can you please check to see if you details of any of the following?

James Leitch & Isabella Lambert.  I have no death record for him but she was buried in Dysart Barony 18 Apr 1859, having died 4 days earlier in Riddles Close, Leith.  Perhaps his name was added to her stone.  However, he was a sailor so may not be buried here.

John Leitch & Sophia Penman.  Although he was born in Dunfermilne he is possibly buried in Abbotshall as he lived most of his life as a coal grieve there.

David Lambert & Margaret Dewar.  I have no death record for her but he died 15 Mar 1828 and the OPR 399, Book 6, page 118 says "Buried in the middle position grave of his property, 6 foot deep"

Many thanks in advance and kind regards to you,

Hi Norrie

Thank you for your kind offer.

Mine is:
George Temple d. Aug 1853 at Gow's Railway Hotel, Kirkcaldy. (according to newspaper)

I am hoping that you may find him still there...well, in a cemetery, not at the Hotel.

sincerely

Nothing for the above names, Barony cemetery is in a bad state due to
vandals in the past.

John Leitch & Sophia Penman.  Although he was born in Dunfermilne he is possibly buried in Abbotshall as he lived most of his life as a coal grieve there
Nothing on the above.
