There is only one entry for Clyne at Menmuir in Alison Mitchell's "Angus Monumental Inscriptions" - it is for a James Clyne, schoolmaster there from 1787, who died in 1817.  On the west side of the stone, a William Clyne who died at Tigerton, is mentioned, with his wife, Isabella Keith (both are of more recent date).

The full text of James's side of the stone is quoted in Jervise's "Epitaphs", praising his care for his pupils, and saying he was a native of Strichen in Aberdeenshire and educated at Marischal College in Aberdeen.

Thank you for this info.Have come across these names before but they dont tie in with info. that I posted.Tigerton is also mentioned in info that I have.
Perhaps William Clyne was born at Tigerton but baptised in Menmuir - short distance away .He was an agricultural contractor in Tigerton in 1856 .
Again thank you

Census entries do not show maiden names

From my first reply

Families were headed by James & Agnes & John & Elizabeth

As you said you were interested in John & Elizabeth - that is the only 1841 entry for those names

 Isabella  22-6-1817    Memuir Angus
 Mary       12-7-1819        "         "
 Ann         22-6-1821       "          "

There is a tree on A seems to be researching the same families (of course it could be yours)

Found a death on SP for a Elizabeth Balfour widow of John Clyne died 10 Mar 1858 at Redford, Carmyllie, the daughter of a Thomas Balfour and a Helen May buried in the Churchyard at Carmyllie.  Her son-in-law James Smith was the informant.
