Hi Sheila   this is a site worth Checking out its a sct-fife rootsweb archives re Skinner

info from it http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search?path=SCT-FIFE
insert John Skinner in body  and press search

From: "Shirley & Neville Pedersen" <nevped@xtra.co.nz>
Subject: SKINNER, Dysart, 1871 Deaths
Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 14:50:26 +1300

Dear Dan and Vicki

Here's the sad story :

1871 DEATHS in the District of Dysart in the County of Fife:

p.2, No. 6 : On 7 January 1871 at St Clairtown, Dysart, John SKINNER, Linen Weaver, widower of Margaret PAUL, aged 71 yrs, s/of James Skinner, linen weaver, and Ann Skinner m.s. Cree (both deceased), of typhus fever 2 wks, not cert. Infmt: John Skinner, grandson, present

p.3, No. 7 : On 10 January 1871 at St Clairtown, Dysart, John SKINNER, Tenter in Linen Factory, married to Janet LOGAN, aged 49 yrs, s/of John Skinner, linen weaver, and Margaret Skinner m.s. Paul (both dec), of typhus fever 8 wks, not cert. Infmt: John Skinner, son, present

p.4, No. 11 : On 17 January 1871 at St Clairtown, Dysart, Janet SKINNER, widow of John Skinner, Tenter in Linen Factory, aged 46 yrs, dr/of Joseph LOGAN, linen weaver, and Eliza Logan, m.s. WISHART (both dec), of typhus fever, 21 days, cert. Infmt: John Skinner, son, present

These certs confirm that John Skinner Snr was the son of James Skinner & Anne Cree, and that John Jnr was the brother of Vicki's William and Dan's Ann.
 
I don't think that John & Janet would be buried in Falkland it was much later that John came to Falkland. I think it would have been Ravenscraig Cemetery where Joseph 1850 daughter Euphemia
was buried in 1901 there could still have been room in the grave of her grandparents

Well done Norrie!
You're far better at this than I am, having spent a few hours in Kirkcaldy trying to source Skinner info from the reference section (what a missed opportunity with the revamp eh? Just a 'money maker' cafe added and the REAL stuff hidden away; BOOKS).
Sheila has a slow 'net connection up there in Tweed so she may not have seen this yet. I think the system is steam powered!
Gardner, Ritchie, Adamson, Drummond, Dunigan, Kilday, Ireland, Horsburgh, Dick....and others.
Mostly all Fife in the 1900's, but obviously some Irish connections!

Hi Cousin!! I sent an email to Jake to get your email address! I got information a few years back from a John Thompson in Fife and his wife's people are related so he sent me a Gordon file and a Kinnear file. I'll send you what I  have and you send me yours and we'll compare and see if they're the from the same source:)  So cool:)
