can I ask you to check for James Thomson and Ann Reekie please? 

I know Ann [b c 1846] died 26 March 1913 at 13 Plantation Row Coaltown of Wemyss and her husband James died between the census 1881-91, but I have no idea where they are buried.


Hi Fifer can't find James & Ann on index

But I have  320 Thomson male Stones in my index
and 109 of them are in East Wemyss.

If you can tell who the children married, I will
check for you.

Thanks Norrie G but I only know one marriage for certain, Robert Reekie Thomson [1870] married Agnes Gear.  She died in 1912 at Approach Row East Weymss, Robert died much later in Dunfermline.

Hello Norrie .   Glad to come across you again after a few years.   You were a wonderful help to me in my search for Gordon ancestors in and around Buckhaven.   I have been away from my family history search for some time but hope to get back into it again now that winter is upon us.   From this forum it looks like you have been a big help to many  people.


Best of the season to you. 
 :)

Hi Meg  I really need a bit more information

or who was her parents?
