Thanks Norrie,
           The older dates concerning the Sunters seem to tie in with Sunters in my tree.

Here's another one for anybody who collects Sunters.

In 1820 William Sunter, pipe-layer, married Elizabeth Peebles in Kilconquhar parish. They lived in Main Street, Earlsferry.

William died in 1878, aged 80. His parents were David Sunter, linen-weaver, and Margaret Andrew.
Elizabeth died in 1864, aged 63. Her parents were Alexander Peebles, seaman, and Helen Wilson.

Hi I am researching my husband's family, and some of them go way back in Kilconquhar. The names are Wallace, Wilkie, and Duncan.  Specifically, I'd like to know anything about a William Wallace, born 1740-1770, he is listed as father to our last known Wallace relative, George Wallace b. 1791-2.
George's parents are listed as William Wallace and Pauline Wilkie. I think that Pauline is Polly or 'Pally' Wilkie on the baptismal records (b.1762 Kilconquhar), her father was William Wilkie b. 1725. Her mother was Alice Grubb. George Wallace was married to Janet Finlay, she died around 1840. Lastly, Alexander Duncan, listed on a great-aunts marriage record as her father. Her mother was Catherine Wallace, but Catherine was not married to Alex, and did not list him on her kids' birth records. I'd like to find out if he was married to someone else, and when he died. There are 2 Alex Duncan's born in Kilconquhar, one in 1810 and another 1830.  If any of these people are on the headstones, I'd really appreciate it. Janice

Thanks Norrie, I think this will be of help to me. The George-Janet-Catherine family is mine, and the Polly Wilkie & Wallace are probably mine too, I just have to find out where they fit. George had a son James who moved to a nearby village and had lots of boys, who had lots of boys, and I actually found a living relative from that line.  Thank you for all you do. Janice

Norrie, I got 2 dates of death that I needed from your look-up, a half or full sister (Binnie Polly Wilkie) to Grandfather George, and I'm claiming Polly Wallace as his second daughter, as there's a gap between kids that would fit for her, and the naming pattern works better with her in the family. So thank you very, very, much!! Janice
