HEADSTONES in Kirkcaldy Cemeteries(Part 2)

[rossgourlay]

Hi Norrie
Thanks for taking the time to look, I really appreciate it. My guess is that the stone has fallen over at some point as no-one has been able to track it down.
Thanks again

Hello,

I'm hoping this is still going!

I'm trying to trace the grave of a lady called Isabel Hastie, nee Muir. There's a burial transcription that lists her as ISBELL MUER and I believe she is buried at Kirkcaldy Old Kirk in February 1764. I'm just wondering if there are any other HASTIE /HASTY relatives buried with her or any other information that SP might be missing. If you could have a wee look for me please I'd be grateful...just to put my mind at ease!

Regards,

Matt.

Hello!

I'm branching out on my genealogy research and came across this post on RootsWeb posted in 2005: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/SCT-FIFE/2005-03/1109805462

The MI list references my great grandparents, 1728 James Nicol Elizabeth Black, and I am hoping someone would be able to tell me more information or even what Dysart 5 might be in reference to (ie. what cemetary, etc.).

Any information would be greatly appreciated! This family line has been hard to track with very little personal information passed on.

Thanks!

Hi NorrieG,

Thank you so much!! That's absolutely incredible that you have that volume of information - what an amazing feat!

I will definitely take you up on your offer to find more information about my family.

I do not know when James died or if he remarried. Him and Elizabeth had a son, William, who moved north to Inverness at some point and is buried there with his wife. I've been told that William was an only child; however I do not know if that is 100% the case.

James' parents were William Nicol (b. 1844) and Jane Brunton (b. 1846). From what I have found he was the oldest child, followed by Eliza Honeyman (b. 1873), Jane B (b. 1876) and Margaret (Maggie) (b. 1880). I also found that Eliza was married in the 1901 census with a daughter, Jane B Traill, however cannot find record yet of her husband and his name.

Elizabeth's parents were Alexander Black (b. 1839) and Christina Robertson (b. 1847). They had many children, 1876 to 1890. Alexander's parents are James Black (b. 1819?) and Alison Greig (b. ?). Christina's parents are Andrew Robertson and Elisabeth Gilmour. Unfortunately there's a few more unknowns on this side of the family compared to the Nicol side.

From what I have been able to find there is a long time presence of my family in Fife. Any information you may be able to find would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much Norrie!
