Headstone Inscriptions LOCHGELLY CEMETERY

[Gadgey]

Hi Norrie,

Not been on the site in some time, but was looking around the Fife forum and saw this lady's post on another thread, titled "Davidson's of Auchterderran" do you have any information on these?

"I'm looking for the gravestone of my great great grandparents - Isabella Westwater who died in Lochore on 24 2 1915 and Birrell Davidson born 26 5 1857 died Methil 26 2 1939. They are not in Ballingry cemetery and can't find them in Bowhill either so I think they might be in Lochgelly. Would appreciate your help as my mum would love to take some flowers to their grave. My Davidson ancestors date back to 1560 in Dunfermline so any Davidsons might well be connected to my family. I now live in France so it's not easy to get time to hike round cemeteries in Scotland.
Thanks for any help you can give. Would really like to get in touch with Norrie".

I've contacted her to let her know where to find your thread.

Cheers

Bryan

Hi Norrie,

Forget that last post, the lady concerned has been in touch and apparently she has contacted you before.

Hi Norrie... Here's some more information that I have about them.

Thanks....Robert

Thomas Bain was born in Burntisland, Fife around 1819 and was married to Nancy ?
Their children were Margaret, Elizabeth and Archibald. Margaret was born in 1867 in Lochgelly

She married Alexander Dempster who was born in Kirkcaldy in 1863. His father was George Dempster born in Kinkhorn in 1826 and married to Mary Margaret Russell born Jan 5 1829 in Alloa Clackmannan.
