MIs in DUNFERMLINE Lays Road Cemetery

[NorrieG]

I have photographes of 2500 Headstones in Dunfermline Lays Road Cemetery. Some of the stones date back to the mid 1800s up to 1940
this is the Cemetery situated to the rear of Dunfermline Football Ground.

If  you care to supply me with the names of the
 Husband & Wife. on the stone

eg   David  Dewar   Helen T Brown

I will check my index and if there is a stone I will supply you
With the Inscription and a photograph of the stone if required.

eg. 298   Helen T Brown died 8.6.1920
      Son David C Dewar Corp. 450 Canadians
      Killed in action in France 16.3.1916 age 27
       Also David Dewar husband of above
      Died 27.8.1929 age 65
      Daughter Elizabeth wife of William Borthwick died 2.7.1934 age 50

Doubtful if there would be a stone Robert Reekie Thomson died 26 Apr 1947 in Leys Park Home/Hospital Dunfermline (wife Agnes Munro Gear died 1912 in East Wemyss) but I'd be grateful if you could check it out please. 

Apparently he was put in a scalding bath and died a few days later, there was an enquiry I believe.  I have in my notes "Death age 76 Cerebral Softening, 2nd degree Scalding, Surgical Shock at Leys Park Nursing Home "

Hi Fifer    as you thought there is no stone, also checked Wemyss Cemetery
for Agnes but nothing there.

Hi Norrie

Sorry if this appears pedantic but the Dunfermline Cemetery is at Leys Park Road - just in case anybody is trying to locate on MapQuest etc.

Your offer of photographs from the various graveyards is a magnificent gesture and a great  resource. Thanks.
