HEADSTONES in Kirkcaldy Cemeteries(Part 1)

[NorrieG]

I am researching an Agnes Wilson, born in Cupar, Fife abt 1851.  I was wondering if you could help, as I cannot find anything on her after 1881 and was wondering if your Agnes Wilson could be her.  I found one web page that said an Agnes Wilson married an Andrew Dryburgh but it didn't mention her sons William or Robert so not sure if it is the same person.  Hope you can help as I am stuck ,

 Hi Brenda  is this the Agnes Wilson in the 1881 census you saw,
Robert & William are her sons  you would be better trying to find
their births on Scotlands people and see who their father was
or check for her marriage or death on Scotlands people
