Hi Jot If it's still possible can you tell me if there are any Kirkcaldy/Kirkaldy burials in Balmerino?

Hi JoT,

Could you kindly do me a look up for Logie - particularly interested in SMITH.

Also looking for a Robert Smith who died between 1806 (birth of son) and 1841 (his widow appears in Census) - possible locations are Logie, Kilmany or Dairsie.

Thank you.

Hi Jo,

I wonder if you could look up WISHART in Cults churchyard. I was up there this summer and expected to find lots. Unfortunately, the only ones I found didn't appear to be mine Sad

Many thanks

Hello-if you-or anyone elso-still has a copy of the MI book, could you possibly look up Terras/Tayrus (and other variants) in the following:
Balmerino  (expect to find a James Terras there, with wife May Henderson)
Kilmany
Forgan (I know there is at least one Terras grave there-James, Margaret and 3 of their children)     

Thank you.

Many thanks for both replies.
Is it known how complete MI records and death records are-ie. would every visible grave at Balmerino have been recorded (and therefore I wouldn't be likely to find any other Terras's if I visited) or is it all still a work in progress?
Thank you!

Jenny.
in the introduction to the book it says that it 'is a record of all known and accessible mi's'  these are for pre 1855 inscriptions.

on the small map for Balmarino which shows the grave positions there are obviously lots of gaps where grves are unable to be read/missing etc. the book also lists other sources where mi's have been found for Balmerino and includes them.
I think that you would not gain much by a visit sadly.

For 'scrumsrus'

What are your connections to the Bennetts and Halkerstons here in St Andrews?

I have a 'cousin' who married David Bennett son of David Bennett and Mary Halkerston.

Response appreciated

Thanks for the prompt repy - that's great! That is them alright. Now I wonder if any of the others are  his father or brothers.

Look forward to hearing.

Judy  Smiley

PS Is this St Andrews Cathedral and were there any other churches in St Andrews in those days?


Lots of churches ... as you'd imagine for a 'Cathedral town'.

St Andrews Cathedral has another smaller cemetery beside it known as the Eastern Cemetery.  There is also a newer one to the west of the town known ... of course ... as the Western Cemetery.

Hi I have quite a few look ups at various churchyards, here goes:

St.Andrews
David Arnot(t)   died c 1870
Jemima McRobbie (nee Arnot) born 1866
Robina Arnot(t)  died c 1870
Thomas Arnot(t)  died c 1908
Mary Arnot(t)  died 1901
Alexander Arnot(t) born 1804
David Arnot(t) born 1799  died c 1801
David Arnot(t) born 1827
Elizabeth Arnot(t) died 1875
Harriet Smart died 1917
Alan Smart died 1903
James Arnot(t) born 1807
Robina Halkerston died 1906
Alexander Halkerston died 1892
Thomas Arnot(t)  died 1935
Euphemia White born 1851
Robina Craig died abt 1987
Janet Robertson born abt 1842  died bef 1874
Thomas Robertson born 1805

Ferry Port On Craig
Harriet Craig died 1974
James Craig died 1910
Alexanda Robertson died 1942


Cupar
Harriet Craig  died 1923

Actually it might be easier to say any Halkerston, Arnot or Robertson in St.Andrews or Ferry Port On Craig.

I know its a big ask.

Regards
Andy Stuart
