Hi Ruth, from the people you have asked for info on I assume we are related! William David Brunton and Janet Campbell were my great great garndparents and I grew up in the Markinch area where my parents still farm so I know the area very well.

William Brunton d 31/7/1852 and his wife Jean Smart 1/3/1847, they are both in the 1841 census.

William Brunton d 15/4/1810 and Isobel Scot 26/5/1815

John Brunton POSSIBLY d 11/12/1758 at Forthar which is very close to the Star area but just inside Kettle parish so his death is recorded there.

Eupham Sim/Sime/Simb - no record at all as far as I can find of her death which is VERY annoying as going back 12 generations the two "facts" I still have to prove 100% are that the William B who m Isabel Scott was the son of John and Eupham and not another William whose birth is not recorded and that the John B who married Eupham had previously been married to Elspeth Beal. Finding a death for her in the Kettle/Cults/Kennoway/Markinch area (the area we're talking about is only a couple of square miles) would pretty much seal the tin lid on it for me!

The Bruntons and Campbells as well as several other families who lived in Star of Markinch in the second half of the 18th century were all very inter-related and Campbell descendants at one stage or another farmed an awful lot of the farms round about, including the one my parents have (quite by chance, it's my Mum who is a Brunton not my Dad!).

I have heaps of info if you would like it, also photos of William David/Janet and their children etc.

Best regards

Susan Dun

Hello Norrie,

Hi Norrie,

Thanks so much for your quick reply. I'm not sure about the other names, I have just started helping my Mum with our family tree, we haven't done much yet.
I went to Thornton about 15 years ago (I live in Australia), and I went to a cemetery that was close by, do you know if St Drostan's is the closest to Thornton? I rang the information number that was listed at the cemetery entrance and they said that Robert and Anne Barclay were buried there and gave me the plot numbers but I couldn't find them, perhaps there were no headstones. I was a young backpacker at the time, so wasn't overly interested in family history and I didn't take note of the cemetery name or even take any photos. (Needless to say my Mum wasn't very impressed when I got home!) So I'm trying to help now!

Thanks again for checking.
