Oooooooooops again
When we got the "Death" certificate of Robert Taylor Kirkcaldy it should have read.
Sorry I guess it is too early in the morning here. I got up at 3am and it is now just 5:15am Tuesday morning.
We are about 1300 klms north of Sydney on Brisbane's southern boundary in the city of Logan. Our cities are determined by population and not by Cathedrals. There are several cities here surrounding Brisbane and we are one of them. The city of The Gold Coast is right on our southern boundary.

Here is the extent of my research in regards to ancestry.co.uk
Myself - born Malawi (*)
My Father (*) Born (*)
My grandfather - Robert Kirkcaldy born ? died 1992. Had one sister, Rosemary Kirkcaldy and another Catherine Kirkcaldy. Rosemary later married Joss Ackland and they had many children and many grandchildren.
His father was Robert Kirkcaldty born 1897 died 1954 married to Phyllis Nyasa Ryall (1900 -?)
His father was David Kirkcaldy (1837 - 1873) married to Isabella McPherson.
His father was James Kirkcaldy (1808 - 1889).
His father was William Kirkcaldy (1774 - 1844) married to Agnes Brunton.
That is the extent of my parental lineage of the Kirkcaldys in my line. However, I also have names of brothers at each generation and in one family there were around 8 family members of 6 brothers and 2 sisters. It also seems that at each generation there have been many brothers and a few sisters. Would you need these brothers names or will this suffice?

Brothers and sisters of my forebears: Names and dates of birth - that is all that is known.
Brother of Robert Hunter Kirkcaldy (my great grandfather 1897 - 1954) - David Kirkcaldy (1899 - ?)
Brothers of David Kirkcaldy ( my great great grandfather 1937 - 1873) -
William 1835, James 1836, George 1839, Mary 1841, Alexander 1844, Agnes 1846, John 1850 and Robert 1856.
Cousins included: Cale/ James Kirkcaldy 1860, David Kirkcaldy 1862, John Kirkcaldy 1864, William Kirkcaldy 1868, Alex Kirkcaldy 1869 and Peter Kirkcaldy 1874.
I notice I have confused the generations but hopefully these names and dates of birth might allow for some collusion!

I have some info on the Tasmanian Kirkcaldy link as my grandmother had a grandfather James Kirkcaldy who emigrated from Scotland (1859) with a brother William. He married Elizabeth Turnbull in Launceston, Tas (1862). The two brothers were bap. in Creich, Fife, 1835 & 1837 (ref IGI spelling 'Kirkaldie'). David (1839) appears to be the next brother in the family as mentioned in this forum. My research shows parents were James Kirkcaldy (1808) & Isabella Faernie/Fernie (1815). James (1835) and Elizabeth had 8 children in Tasmania. James (1808) was the son of William Kirkcaldy (1774) and Agnes Brunton. James (1835) had a son also named James (1862), my grandmothers father. I know James (1835) had been in the Crimean War. Does anyone have any info on the Crimea war record of James?

Dear Matown,
Nice to hear from you. Does your post on the Kirkcaldy ancestors mean you are from Australia. My wife and I are. we have posted our tree on Ancestry.com and if you search for William Kirkcaldy you will find that William is the son of William K and Agnes Lumsden/Lumsdain. We have that William as a son of Robert K and Helen Smith/Smyth but we are not sure about it. That Robert and Helen are the direct ancestors of my wife and the originator of this thread jenc. They are 2nd cousins. However we do have quite a bit of info on William K and Agnes Lumsden and some of their other descendants which may help you to fill out your tree. If you do not have access to ancestry then you can email me at (*) and I can send you a descendancy chartfrom William K and Agnes L.

I have their marriage in 1882 and the birth of their twins but nothing more. My information came from searching the records at New Register House in Edinburgh.

Hi kirkaldie and also welcome to this thread.
Just noticed you are chasing some Australian relatives. You might want to try matown as he is from Australia and has some info on his ancestors who went to Tasmania.
Cheers,

Probably not relevant to anyone's researches, but the famous golfer, Open champion and golf-course designer Andrew Kirkcaldy was born at St. Andrews in 1860 to David Kirkcaldy, ironstone miner, and Margery McKenzie.

Hi Layna
Don't know if you have gone further back from Robert and Jane Kirkcaldy, the parents of your Helen, but we have got that line back to 1702.
Jane's maiden name was Taylor, and we think she was born on the 1st October, 1769 in Newburgh, the daughter of John Taylor and Janet Henderson, who were married in Balmerino in 1768
Robert Kirkcaldy was born in Flisk on the 28th March 1762 and he was the son of David Kirkaldie (spelling of name changes here) and Margaret Meldrum.
David Kirkaldie was born in Kilmany on the 15th December 1734 and he was the son of ROBERT Kirkaldie and Helen Smyth
ROBERT Kirkaldie was born in Ceres on the 29th March 1702.
The siblings of your Helen were Janet 1795-1859, and David 1807 who married Euphemia Walton
David Kirkcaldy and Euphemia Walton were my direct ancestors.
Also just wanted to add a big thank you to Bruce for organising the Kirkcaldy Clan Gathering in Kirkcaldy on the 26th. A good time was had by all. Well done Bruce and Robert
Jenc
