Hello Norrie. Your posting caught my eye as I've just begun to research my direct ancestors, Wililam and Isabella Scott, who were living in Milton of Balgonie in the 1841 and 1851 census returns...which I believe is in Markinch Parish?

William Scott died a widow in 1855 in Selkirk where his son was living.  I've found his death record in Selkirk.  His death record states he was living in Selkirk only one year. 

However, I don't have much information about his wife.  Her name was Isobel or Isabel or Isabella Scott (maiden surname Bell).  There is a chance she died in Markinch somewhere between 1851 and 1854 and that prompted her husband to move closer to his son in Selkirk.

Isabella Bell was born about 1783 in Dunbar so if she died in the early 1850's she would have been about between 67-72 I guess?

Can you tell me if there is a Isabella Scott or Bell buried in Markinch, between 1851 and 1854 and about 67-72 years of age?  I couldn't find in OPRs.

Hi Merv   I have nothing in my index for Isabella Bell born about 1783,

I checked Markinch burials 1799 - 1854 nothing

also the FFH pre 1855 death Cd  nothing

there is a small cemetery at Balgonie Church but no Bell stones

Sorry that I can't be of more assistance

Thank you very much Norrie.  That was very kind of you.  For clarification....you mention you searched for her under her maiden name Bell. I trust you also looked for any memorials to her under her married name of Scott?
