Am I correct in
William Anderson died at 59 years old, and Isobel Syme died 7 Mar 1717 at 29 years old
Andrew Anderson died 31 Oct 1758 at 57 years old and Ann Christie died 7 Feb 1757 at 57 years old


Yes Ruth you are correct the information was from an inscription
recorded by Stuart Farrell, sort of shothand saving paper

I have 74 photos of Newburn Cemetery but not that one
maybe its toppled or just hard to read now and I would not have photographed.

Norrie,

Could I trouble you for another look-up...????

Trying to locate more info on my Gt x 4 grandparents, David Pearson & Christian Wylie.

I know they both died before 1869, and brought up their family in Kilconquhar where they were all born, the last being 1816.

David & Christian actually originate from Cameron & Leuchars, but I thought they may have been buried local to their last known home, Rires, Kilconquhar.

Any assistance would be grateful,

Dougie.

Hi Dougie

I am a 3rd Great Grandson of David and Christian.

They married on 6 Sep 1799 in Cameron Parish, Fife and I have four children for them: Agnes (1804), David (1806), Christian (11 Mar 1815-11 Mar 1889) and John (abt 1819).  I feel certain there are more but I haven't found them as yet!

Christian married Robert John Armit in Westray and Papa Westray Parish, Orkney on 30 Oct 1844 and I have loads of info for them and their 8 children.  Robert's family hail from Polduff near St Andrews in Fife.

Feel free to contact me by PM.

Regards

Family surnames being researched ...
Crawford, Neilson, Lindsay, Reekie, Davidson
Drummond, Laing, Pearson, Tulloch ... will do for starters but there's a whole lot more!

Hi Norrie

It transpires that Dougie is a distant cousin  ;D

I have Christian's Baptism OPR from 4 Sep 1776 in the "Kirke of Kemback"

The Fife FHS pre 1855 Fife Death Index CD and the Pittenweem Register confirm her Death as 23 Dec 1852 at Barnyards, Kilconquhar (the year after she appeared, incidentally, in the 1851 Census residing at Tuquoy, Island of Westray, Orkney - aged 70 - with her daughter Christina and son-in-law Robert) and her subsequent burial on 26 Dec 1852 (Fife Lair Register)

Regards
