Hi Norrie
I have the lair number now definitely lochgelly cemetery according to fife council. Lair number 030. They said that Mary reddington died 1934 aged 44
John reddington died 1962 aged 71
John McGuire died 1940 aged 2 week's
Arthur Smith died 1942 aged 4 months are all buried in this lair. I know that these other two graves belong to relatives if my great grandparents. Does this mean they don't have headstones.

Thanks
Nichola

Hello Norrie,

Thanks very much for the MIs. All look to be for my relations. Yes, I'm very interested in the photos too please. Do you have an on line headstones database with photos? What about other cemeteries adjacent to Lochgelly? Many cemeteries which are run by local government councils here in NZ  are putting them on line and so far not charging!

Regards

Don Hutton

Hello Norrie,

Thanks for the photos. I'm not sure if Robert Sinclair is one of my relations but it seems likely. The others all fit with the records I have and add information in some cases.

For you information the wife of Ebenezer Sinclair (he d.1950) was actually Mary Ann Henderson (d.1962) but is named as Mary Sinclair on the headstone.

Regards

Don Hutton
