Burial places in Ceres, Fife
« on: Sunday 31 August 25 18:52 BST (UK) »
Looking for a cemetery in Ceres, Fife where my  relations would most likely be buried. Have a Thomas Wilkie and Margaret Breiz married July 1748, Johne Wilkie and Agnes Dott married 20 Nov. 1722 and Alexander Wilkie and Isobel Duncan around 1718.  Any information would be great thanks, Roberta Wilkie

The only burial ground in Ceres is the churchyard attached to the parish church.  The current parish church was built in 1806, on the site of an earlier building, possibly dating to the 12th century.

You list three marriages.  Where did these couples marry ?

The Fife Family History Society compiled a list of deaths and burials in Fife before 1855 from a variety of sources and records. IIRC this information is now available at FindMyPast.
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.
