Hi NorrieG

I'd like any detail you have for Jessie Irene Pearson b. 12 Feb 1895 and d. 12 Aug 1991 who I believe is interred at Kilconquhar.  She lived in the USA for many years but died in Craigtoun Hospital, St Andrews.  She never married.

Jessie's parents were George Pearson and Emily Smith.  George was a professional golfer and played in the U.S. Open on four occasions - 1897 (tied in 48th place), 1898 (withdrew), 1905 (tied in 50th place) and finally 1907.

George and Emily both died in Earlsferry - 1955 and 1942 respectively - so may also lie in Kilconquhar Churchyard.

Regards

Cheers NorrieG, will take a look at your list and get back to you, at first glance there certainly looks to be 2 or 3 of interest.

Many thanks for your message and image.  For some unknown reason, I wasn't alerted to it in the usual way, but that matters not.  You have completed another little twig in the family tree.

NorrieG, that's a very kind offer.

I have a Ann Campbell nee Grubb, married to Murdoch Campbell. I know she was buried in the burial ground of Largo in 1856 (but she was listed as a pauper in 1851 so may not have got a headstone).

Hi NorrieG,

Would be grateful for the photos for:-

19   In Memory of Mary Doig HOWIE wife of William Smith ROBERTSON
   died 26.3.1933 age 47 (Kilconquhar).

Coincidentally her sister died 2 days previously, also at a young age.

Regards,

Langtonian
