HEADSTONE INSCRIPTIONS East Wemyss & West Wemyss Cemeteries

[teafor2]

Hi Norrie G,

 I visited East Wemyss cemetery last summer with a burial reference for my ancestors and didn't realise that I needed a map.... that cemetery is huge!  Needless to say I didn't find the plot I was searching for - Lair number Sect O number 18..

Do you have any references to McKenzie's in your records for East Wemyss (MacDuffs) cemetery:

 Peter McKenzie who died Feb 1890 and his wife Janet Brown, who died May 1875.

I saw your Fairfull information in an earlier post and this was very helpful.

Hi Teafor2   just because they gave you a location, they don’t know if
there is a headstone on that location.
I have over 2500 photographs in East Wemyss cemetery
But none for Peter & Janet Brown

Hi Norrie and Kirsty, 

Thank you for checking your photo indexes and for the extra info.  (a massive undertaking to photograph all those M.I's)   

I was hoping for any extra information that an MI can provide with regard to the McKenzies, as I am stuck on my line with Peter McKenzie d 1890 and struggling to take this line further back in time.
I am the great grandaughter of Alexander Fairfull b.1868 Wemyss and Agnes McEwan/Henderson, Kirsty we must be related

Hi,
A couple of months ago someone contacted me on Ancestry was it you by any chance. Kirsty
You only have to make 1 more post on here then we can pm.

Hi Teafor2,
Don,t now if you have this?
Andrew McKenzie (Robina,s brother) m Mary Colley in Bermondsey 1863 son Peter Colley McKenzie b 1865,he was found on 1888 electoral roll in Australia. Kirsty

Hi Kirsty,

 Thanks for that one  ... I had no idea they were in Bermondsey.  I wonder if that is why my line of Fairfull's ended up in that part of London a bit later on?
