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.
