HEADSTONES in Kirkcaldy Cemeteries(Part 1)

[NorrieG]

Hi Sarah you said
I've been doing a bit more digging on locations in Kirckcaldy for the relatives in my list.  Although they start in Dysart Parish, the census returns show a lot  them living in High St in 1851, St Clair St in 1881, 1891 and 1901 and also Long Row in 1841, 1861 and 1871.

I have my own 1881 census for Scotland and the only one I can find is
Duncan McDougal & Euphemia Page and I think I  have a stone for
Elizabeth McDougal their daughter in Abbotshall Cemetery

772   Millar Robertson  died 1915 age 45
         wife Elizabeth McDougal died 1947 age 78
         daughter Margaret Robertson died 5.3.1977 age 64
         SIL. John Anderson died 9.9.1954 age 67
         Wife Euphemia Robertson  died 20.1.1973 age 82


So they are really living in the areas of Pathhead and Sinclairtown.  Eventually in my grandparents time they move further north and west.  I'm just wondering what the burial grounds would be likely to be in the 19C for Pathhead and Sinclairtown and whether I've been barking up the wrong tree by looking in Dysart.

There are a number of cemeteries
Barony Cemetery in Dysart this is an old cemetery but only 125 stones

Pathhead Feuars Cemetery between Kirkcaldy & Dysart  110 Stones

And Dysart & Sinclairtown Cemetery over 2000 stones still in use today

And 3 in Kirkcaldy Abbotshall, Bennochy & Kirkcaldy old Church

If you wish more lookup give me the 2 names.

Thanks Norrie

That is my GGGrandmother's sister, thanks.  I don't want to bombard you with lots of names so I'll have a proper look at what I have and post again when I'm more definite about what and where I'm looking for.

Cheers

Hi Norrie
My GG grandfather Peter McGovern died in Dysart in 1906. Is he on your list by any chance?

Thanks for your help.
