HEADSTONES in Kirkcaldy Cemeteries(Part 1)

[mixedupmob]

Hi Norrie

Looking for a Peter Westwood who appears to have died between the 1861 census and 31 Dec 1865 - parents are Peter Westwood and Mary Webster. They had two sons named Peter the 1st born 7 Jul 1856 (he is on the 1861 census) and the 2nd born 31 Dec 1865 and he is on the 1871 census.

Also a Mary Westwood born 7 Jul 1856 (Peter's twin by the look of it). Looks like she died prior to the 1861 census.

Thank you.

Hello Norrie!

Do you very many Robert Beveridges in the cemetery in Dysart?  I can't remember if I've asked you before to look, and sorry if I am repeating myself!  You found David Beveridge (1837-1916) and his family in Bennochy Cemetery, Kirkcaldy, but I am trying to locate his father, one of many Robert Beveridges in the area.  He was born around 1803 in Abbotshall and died between 1861 & 1871 in Dysart.  He was married to Cecilia Fisher (1805-1883).  Their daughter Mary was married to Thomas Gray Robb.  They all died in Dysart.

Thanks!

Very  much appreciated

Thanks for your trouble.  Now I'm wondering if they were cremated or the stone is on the ground, face down so it hasn't been recorded.  That happened to another line of my family at the Abbotshall Churchyard.
I really appreciate your help!

[NorrieG]

Now I'm wondering if they were cremated

we didn't have a Crematorium in Kirkcaldy area untill 1959

as a fisherman did you ever consider he could have died
at sea do you have him in the 1861 census?
