I hope that something is of use - there's such a lot of good info!
I have almost completed transcribing the post 1855 stones, but I have not indexed them yet, so you'll have to bear with me whilst I check what I've done so far to see if your names crop up. I'll also check the plan to see if your names are amongst the ones not done yet.

Hi JeanP,
The Forsyth's, John 1868 age 66, Mary 1887 age 87, son Duncan after 1891 about 60, daughter Elizabeth after 1891 about 56.
There are a number of others after 1881, unless they were buried elsewhere.
Stephen, Margaret nee Forsyth 1887 age 48, husband William after 1891.
Anything at all, when ever you can.
Barry

Hi JEANP,
Thank you, have been looking at deaths, Mary died 1887 & buried Johnshaven, John died 1866 Johnshaven, Margaret Stephen nee Forsyth 1887 Johnshaven, William Stephen died 1898 Johnshaven and Duncan died 1900 Fortesso Poor House, no sign of Elizabeth at all.
They may be of some use when you look, but the Forsyth's may be like the rest I've found, no headstone or gone.
Barry
