Hi Jake   sorry no sign on my index,
Remember that Hayfield Cemetery in Kirkcaldy was opened in the early
50s and that is not on my index.

Thanks Norrie, I do not know modern Kirkcaldy well at all, and it's a long way from here in Cyprus.

Dear Norrie,
I really appreciate your kind offer to supply headstone inscriptions/photographs; it is very kind of you.

Would you please check your records to see if you have on your files anything on my GGG Grandparents-
Henry Arnott- B 6 Mar 1812, D 13 Jun 1874, Buried 16 Jun 1874 Pathead Cemetery Back Street Kirkcaldy.
Isabella Arnott (nee Munro)- B 1807, D 3 Jul 1873, Buried 6 Jul 1873 Pathead Cemetery Back Street Kirkcaldy.

Their son emigrated to Australia in 1857 and started the line of the family here.

Thank you in advance for any details or photographs you may be able to provide.

Hi David    yes I have photographed that Cemetery, in fact
My son lives in the property next to it, over one of the boundary walls, its quite a small cemetery approx 100 x 50 yards but with many burials over 10,000 from 1707 till 1960

I sorry to say that there are no headstones for your family, there is
a headstone for Arnott which I have enclosed they are Drsart Arnotts, I see your Arnotts  came from the Dunfermline area.

41   Alexander Arnott died 6.5.1907 age 80
   Isabella Oliphant died 2.9.1890 age 60
   Mathew O. Arnott died 13.1.1864
   His wife Christian Deas died 25.8.1848 age 22
   Son Alexander Deas Arnott died 28.9.1861 age 13
   Son William Arnott died 14.7.1904 age 45   
   Alexander  son of William died 28.11.1934 age 52

Have enclosed a general view of the cemetery

Sorry not to be of more help  Norrie

Dear Norrie,
Thank you for your very prompt reply. My wife and I visited this cemetery in July last year. Unfortunately we couldn't gain access as the gates were locked and the high walls prevented any other means of getting in. We were dissappointed that after travelling all this way we would not see the headstones. I feel a little better now knowing the headstones don't exist.
Thank you for the photo and your feedback.
Regards

Hi Norrie

Thank you in advance for your kind offer to look up your index for MI's in Kirkcaldy Cemeteries.

I have quite a few Thomsons in Bennochy Cemetery and wondered if you had a photo of my grandparent's gravestone as I have never found it.

They were David Steele Thomson (died 13th March 1962) and Bessie Goldie Thomson (MS Millar)(died 21st June 1955). There might also be a mention of their daughter, Agnes Evelyn Thomson who died 29th March 1929.

I have already found my great grandfather (Joseph Thomson) and his wife (Agnes Gemmell) and my great great uncles (Alexander Thomson) and David Thomson but not my grandfather.

Many thanks

Diana

Hello Norrie,
I was so excited when I cam across your posting yesterday.  We live in the United States and, at this point in time, I have no idea when we will ever be able to travel to Scotland to visit Kirkaldy.

My husband's 3rd great grandparents (and possibly his great grand uncles & aunts) are buried in Bennochy Cemetery.

Robert SKINNER (22 Apr 1816 - 13 Oct 1876) Occupation: Sexton at Bennochy Cemetery.  Residence: Cemetery Lodge 
Catherine GOULD Skinner (abt 1809 -14 Jan 1870) Died at residence - Cemetery Lodge.  Cause of death: Bronchitis

Children:
Mary (? - 1846), Catherine (1842 - ?), Jean (1844 - ?), Robert (1848 - ?) , John SKINNER (1849- abt 1905 - immigrated to US in 1872), Peter (1851 - ?), William (1854 - ?)

I would really appreciate if you could send me the inscription and photos of the monument for Robert and Catherine Skinner if they are included in your index as well as their children if possible.  Keeping my fingers crossed!! 

Thank you!!
Melanie
