HEADSTONES in Kirkcaldy Cemeteries(Part 1)

[Stripes]

Hi

I am looking for the tomb of John RUSSELL, Spirit Dealer.  I believe he had a family tomb in Abboshall Cemetery.  His wife, Mary ORR or RUSSELL died in 1852.  John RUSSELL predeceased her.  Do you have this in your records?

Thanks
Ruth

Hi,

I have a William Simpson, d. 22 Oct 1897, Dysart, wife Christian Low, d. 17 Dec 1893, Portmoak.  I don't know where they are burried.  Any info would be great.

Many thanks,
Lorna

Hi Lorna Sorry nothing on this family in my index

Thanks a lot Norrie - this is the one.  I'm very grateful indeed.  The others you list I don't seem to know of - the only other grave which might be there is John Russell's parents - William Russell (d before 1828) and his wife Isabel Greig (interred at Abbotshall on 12 Feb 1835) who I think may be referred to as mother of John Russell.  Do you have that?

Thanks

Norrie,
    Do you have anything on Peter COUPER (died 1880 in Abbosthall) and his wife Catherine (died 1883 in Newington), please?

Also, how far back do the headstones go as I have quite a few from that area?
