Alexander Brownlie, farmer, Mains (of) Headlesscross, aged 65 years, married.
Parents - James Brownlie & Martha Thomson.
Interred in the old churchyard 8th February 1867.

This next entry is from the Plot Book, with no corresponding entry from the Day Book or MI to confirm parents names. All I can say is that it isn't very close to the Headlesscross plot, it seems to be on a Walker plot, the name Taylor appears on the stone there.

Plot owned by Alexander Brownlie and Jean Walker.
In the Centre plot - Jean Brownlie aged 90 years, interred 26th May 1892.
Thanks, Jim

Jane/Jean Walker, who died 21 May 1892 at Croftmalloch, Whitburm, was the wife of Alexander Brownlee, who died 5 February 1867 at Headlesscross. Her parents were Alexander Walker and Elizabeth Barrie.

All their descendants whose spouses were related to me died elsewhere, but it's useful to know they're not buried in Cambusnethan.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Hello
I have been reviewing the remarks on this post and I see you commented you are a descendant of Alexander Brownlee (1802-1867) Married Jane/Jean Walker if so I would be interested in sharing some information as I am as well.

Hi, I am related to the Brownlee's. My great grandmother was Lilias Brownlee and her father was John Brownlee of Mains of  Strageath Muthill. My great great great grandfather was Alexander Brownlee. I'd be interested in any family history if anyone has anything to share.
Thank you in advance 😀
