Now for your great-great-grandparents, Thomas Davidson and Agnes Arbuckle. The stone is badly in need of a clean but it is legible. It is in section A number 1094. I've taken a few pictures so that you'll be able to find it.

Next are the two Davidson brothers, the farmer from Stonehouse and the quarry manager from Burntisland. They are in Low Public 495 & 496. It's a lovely spot, the big yew tree in background of the 4th picture is the one I posted a picture of a few pages back.

This is E 2020. Thomas Davidson and Jeanie Stirling. Again, the stone really needs a clean.

This is E 657. George McCansh and Mary Ann Arbuckle. Unfortunately, it's only a marker stone.
At least this one has survived, they're few and far between in this cemetery.

The first 2 pictures are the Maxwell stone at E 1438. pretty illegible I'm afraid.
3rd picture is the Tweedlie stone, Low Public 196, the right family but none of yours on it, it's a more modern stone. 4th picture is Archibald Arbuckle, he is most likely the grandson of the Archibald who was the youngest son of George & Mary Ann but, that'll be up to you to prove, if you want to. I only saw this one in the passing, so I don't know the section or number.

Oh, I posted the following query in the Headstone Pictures page by accident:
Hi Lodger!
Information on this specific family may have come up before but not sure how to find it, if it has:  Alexander Littlejohn (c1826-1893) s/o Archibald and Marion (Paterson) was married to Bethea (aka Elizabeth) Reid (d.1885). They both died in Cambusnethan so may well be buried in its cemetery.
Born c1828, Bethea/Elizabeth Reid's mother's maiden surname was Brownlie but I don't know her parents' full names, have on you got any ideas? Or information on this Littlejohn couple (they had about 8 children as well)
(I did find a post about Arch'd and Marion and a couple of their children but they did have about 9 in all!)
PS: I finally found this https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=183738.msg2750018#msg2750018 but still looking for more on Bethia/Elizabeth Reid and her Brownlee connection!

Thanks in advance !!
