Thanks for that Norrie - that is indeed the family I am researching.  I would be keen to know if you had anything for the following:

James Erskine b 1841, d 1907 and his wife Agnes Brown b 1838, d ?
John Stewart b 1868, d 1952 and his wife Catherine Erskine b 1869, d 1956
William Stewart b 1839, d ? and his wife Helen Scott b 1841, d 1925
Helen Forrester b 1808, d 1883
Henry Forrester b 1766, d 1834 and his wife Janet Irvine b 1784, d 1871
John Stewart b 1819, d 1878 and his wife Isabella Davidson b 1815, d ?

Sorry it's a long list, but the Erskine and Forrester families were large.

Thanks again, in advance.

Thanks for your reply.  I have all the Census information etc and would have thought they would be in Lochgelly cemetery.  My husband has a photo of his grandfather's headstone, but he was more recent - 1966.  Would there have been another cemetery nearby, or could they still be in Lochgelly but simply no headstone?

Thanks again.

Hi again there is a cemetery at Bowhill which is about a mile away
but I'm also checking that but yes your right there just could be no stone

Doing a bit more research, and finding that a number of the ones I asked about seem to have died in Kirkcaldy (even though they lived in Lochgelly).  That probably explains why they're not buried in Lochgelly cemetery.

Thanks again Norrie for all your efforts.
