Hi Norrie

Is there anything for two little sisters died in a week of each other? Georgina Budd Bissett and Janet Bissett died in February 1866. Janet may be named as Jessie.

Hi Christina  my index is set up based on Parents names.

Who were their parents so I can check

Norrie

[Crisrbow]

Hi - Parents were Mary Budd and James Bissett.  I am not very hopeful to be honest as I doubt the family could afford a marker. The parents aren't buried there as the family moved to England shortly after the girls died

Hi Christina   sorry still nothing on index,

Norrie

[Crisrbow]

Thank you Norrie, I was hoping with the two little ones dying so young and close to each other the family may have stretched to a headstone but I guess they just couldn't afford it

Hi Norrie,

Do you have any records on the surnames High and Feathers

regards Grada

Norrie, A wonderful offer...many thanks.
Could you kindly check and see if there are  the following  stones..

John Roger/Rodger and his wife Margaret Forbis/Forbes, both died c1835/6.

Also their children:
James Roger and his wife Euphan Bruce
John Roger (born poss c 1783-5
William Roger and wife Janet Carstairs.
they all appear to have died in Kilconquahar

This is a long shot..John Roger born c 1751 ...his parent were John Roger and Catherine Anderson...they could well have been born c 1727 ish.....probably no stone by now....but...you never know.
Many, many thanks for your time and assistance.
