Hi Norrie
Didn't think there would be so many.  Here are the ones I am most interested in:
Alexander Marr - died Cupar Muir 27th December, 1878 and his wife Agnes Dewar - died South Street St Andrews 18th January, 1875.
Robert Marr - died ca 1850 and his wife Janet Brown also died ca 1850 at Cameron, Fife.  If you can find any of those it will be great.  Thank you

Norrie, thank you so very much for all that information, I have some of it already but it certainly gives me a great start on this branch of the family, which I have just begun to research.  Shame there are no gravestones but hey-ho doing this job you can't have everything.
Again very many thanks for your help

Hi Bernice   sorry can't see a stone for Christina  Johnstone

see that John was born in 20.5.1871 Cupar, I take it that Christina
was not married and the 1881 census gives them living at Edenfield Cupar
who did John get married? where does the Moncur part of his name come from ?
and what do later censuses say?

Hi Norrie
Thanx for checking that cemetery John married Wilhelmina Clephan and its that family I am researching but just thought I'd try to tie up this mystery of her burial
Sorry for posting an email I forgot its not policy here.
Cheers Bernice

Hi Norrie,

My request is for a more recent transcription (from 2005).  I have a photo of a headstone for David Finlayson of New Gilston (son of William and Margaret Finlayson), died 10 October 1988.  My cousin, Christian Mary Myles Brown (nee Stewart), daughter of Elizabeth (Betty) Duzel, was buried in the same grave as David at Largo Cemetery on 30 July 2005.  I am curious to know what has been written on the headstone of this grave since her burial.  Is that possible?

Regards
MissPerma

Hi Missperma sorry nothing on the above when I was photographing Largo Cemetery
there was a small part of the newer stones that I missed, just never got back to complete
you can purchase a resent copy of the inscriptions and photos in Largo Cemetery
from Scottish Monumental inscriptions http://www.scottish-monumental-inscriptions.com/fife-churchyards?product_id=177  for £7.50 it lists Finlayson & Duzel
