hi karen
               if you go on to fife family history society ( records) there is mention of
               william matthew of markinch 5th dec 1802,right side of spouse agnes king
                int 13th nov 1802 (no 37 1802 ) there is also a child (10 days) of william mathew
                25th july 1822 ( ??) at feet of his mother agnes king int 13th nov 1802 ( no 37 1802)
                 would think that date is wrong for child  1822  if mother died 1802,have a look on fife family
                 history society see what you think,there is quiet a few mathew and matthews.

Thanks Eva,
I am pretty sure that the child of William Matthew is a grandchild of Agnes King.  It took me a while to figure this out- the first William Matthew mentioned in the parish record is the grandfather William King.  I believe the second mentioned is his son, William Matthew, and the child is at the foot of William Jr's mother (Agnes King).  This for me that my Robert (son of Agnes and William) had a brother named William.
 
I also know from church records here in Canada that my Robert  had two nephews come to Canada, named Robert and James- they may be sons of William.  I will definitely take another look at the Fife historical society site.  I am planning a visit to Markinch this summer, and I'm hoping to meet up with anyone researching the Matthew/Matthews while there.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Karen   sorry nothing on index for William & Anges
there are only a limited amount of headstones around the church
in fact I attended a graveyard workshop at Markinch this past Saturday, and checked the remaining stones.
There are no Matthew or King stones.
the cemetery closed in 1856 and moved to Northall Cemetery
just up the road,
there are no Headstones for Matthew or Kings there also

Who did their son Robert 1796 Marry?
