HEADSTONE INSCRIPTIONS East Wemyss & West Wemyss Cemeteries

[NorrieG]

Over a number of years I have photographed most of the
Headstones in these  Cemeteries
East Wemyss Cemetery2300 headstones
West Wemyss Cemetery 210 headstones

Some of the stones are back to the late 1800s

If you care to supply me only with the names of the
Husband & Wife eg.
WW 2   James  Allan       Jemima     Gordon

 I will check my index and if there is a stone I will supply you
with the Inscription and a photograph of the stone if required.

The photograph is the alter area inside West Wemyss
Church, the church stands within the cemetery.
