HEADSTONE INSCRIPTIONS East Wemyss & West Wemyss Cemeteries

[ostler]

Hi Norrie, do you have any inscriptions from St Mary's Churchyard down by the coast? It's technically still in East Wemyss.

I trundled through the big cemetery looking for OSTLER/HOSTLER and MALCOLM headstones but didn't find any. I was wondering if you found any and if not in the big one maybe in St Mary's?

I didn't think they'd appreciate me going into their garden so I didn't bother. If I had seen someone I may have asked!

Thanks for those other headstones, I'll see if I have them on my tree.

While we're at it, do you have any KINNES/KINNIS/KINNESS anywhere in Fife? Other than in Markinch, I've been there.

St Mary,s by the Sea Church is a private house but with open acess to the grounds. I have Fairfull,s there & have been a few times.

Hello Norrie,

No doubt you get many requests from afar. I hope you may be able to help me with this one.
I am in Australia and researching information and gravesites of the Patrick family, in particular Alexander Patrick, miner from Wemyss, and his wife Elizabeth (nee Taylor, from Airdrie and also from a mining family). Both would have passed away sometime between 1892 and 1913. I am sorry, I do not have birthdates for these.
Also of interest are their sons, George, John Taylor, Alexander, Andrew Taylor, James, William, and William David Taylor, all Patricks of course, and all born between 1873 and 1892. Again, I do not have deceased dates for these.
I would be most appreciative if you could let me know of any grave information or photographs you may find for this family.
Thank You and regards.
