In the notes section for Benholm is the following:

Hi There,
I wondered that if you were out and about if you could have a wee look for any Welsh's buried in Beholm. I would be very grateful. The Welsh's have lived in the area over the 19th century, so I cannot give you specific dates.
Only if you are out and about as I know how cold it is and there is no rush.
Many thanks,
Lynda

Thank you very much for your efforts.
It's too bad that it so hard to track down the final resting places
even when confirmed on the death record such as with
Isobel Beattie m.s. Kennedy.
Yor efforts are appreciated.

Thankyou again.
For sure the Robert Beattie and Wife (Isabella Watt)
at Woodside are my g grand parents
and a couple of their kids were born Marykirk at Balmaleidie
James Beattie 16 Nov 1884
Louisa Ann Roy Beattie 12 October 1886 m John Silver 1906
I don't see Balmaleidie or Balmaleedie on any map today
I wonder where it was. Same for Woodside croft.

Hi, that would make Woodside croft between which two farms?
again I have a high level of interest because of ny GG parents
living thier between 1884 and 1899 ish.
Also William Beattie and his wife Isobel Kennedy
farmed at Brawliemuir until his death bretween 1951 and 1955
it was then farmed in turn by his son charles Beattie who died 1871 at Brawliemuir born there 1819.

Hi Lynda,
Pre 1855 Gravestone index has:
Alex Reid shipmaster lost at sea near the Isle of Bornholm 13.11.1872 aged 44 -- wife ---(w)elch died --------- their son George d Montrose 21.2.1900 45 (west side) s Douglas d saffi Morocco 11.1.1901 37, da Isabella Anderson d Montrose 13.11.1904 38, da Annie Largie d Johnshaven 20.4.1906 46, s David d Brentford Essex 17.2.1930 63, Susan Jane d Johnshaven 22.6.1934 78 (widow of Geo Reid)
Also in the notes:
Testaments: Benholm was in the St Andrews Commissariot and the following were noticed in that index - Wm Welsh at Burnhead of Benholm, 1733
and I have transcribed this:
IN MEMORY OF
ROBERT GREIG WELCH WHO DIED JUNE 30 1893
SON OF DAVID WELCH AND ANN HAY WELCH, JOHNSHAVEN
ALSO OF HIS SONS DAVID 1915 & JAMES DOUGLAS 1916
If any of these are connected let me know and I'll get you a photo.

Hello Jean,
I am not sure about the Reids or the Welchs', as I have not seen it transcribed this way. I would be interested in the Willliam Welsh c1733 though as this is one of my lines of enquiry. The David and Douglas are also names that have run through the generations.
Yhank you for this information and I will check out the details that you have sent me.
Kind regards and many thanks,
Lynda
