Over a number of years I have photographed most of the
Headstones in these Cemeteries
East Wemyss Cemetery2300 headstones
West Wemyss Cemetery 210 headstones
Some of the stones are back to the late 1800s
If you care to supply me only with the names of the
Husband & Wife eg.
WW 2 James Allan Jemima Gordon
I will check my index and if there is a stone I will supply you
with the Inscription and a photograph of the stone if required.
The photograph is the alter area inside West Wemyss
Church, the church stands within the cemetery.

Thanks Norrie, this is great! ;D
Do you think the entry for Hugh Kelly could perhaps be 1980 and not 1950?
It's just that Robina's brother was named Hugh and he died aged 55 in 1980, so I'm wondering if it could be him that's buried there?

Hi Norrie
Read messages to Pete38, we seem to have the same family tree, through John Thomson and Euphemia Burt. Im either the line from John or his brother Thomas who was married to Mary Millie. After some more research I am of the opinion that Townsend Thomson, b 19/4/1831 in Leslie, daughter of John and Euphemia married Thomas Scott in Leslie 16/5/1853. I think the Jane Townsend Thomson who is down as having died in Leslie 4/8/1914 may be in fact Townsend Thomson and her son Robert who registered the death may have somehow got the names wrong. Thomas Thomson and Mary had a daughter Janet born 21/2/1830, but I can find no mention of her getting married.
Anyway I see that some of the Thomson family have a connection with Wemyss. Could you check and see if Townsend is mentioned in any headstones.
Many Thanks Gerry
-
Hi Norrie
Re previous post the Thomas Thomson mentioned should read Robert Thomson, he was born in Markinch on 22/5/1807 and died 13/12/1834, can,t find anything on his wife Mary Millie.

Hi again Norrie
Do you have anything for ROBERT DRUMMOND born 1 Apr 1893 died 7 Mar 1943 at the Wemyss Memorial Hospital. I believe he was interred at East Wemyss Cemetery three days after he died following a Colliery Accident at Wellsgreen when he sustained a fracture dislocation of his cervical spine. His wife was Janet Barrie Ritchie. He had a grown-up family, three of whom were in the services at the time
The Leven Mail reported (7 Apr 1943) from the enquiry held into his death at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court ... "16 year-old John Drummond, son of the deceased, said that he had worked at the coal face with his father as a drawer. On February 26 he was taking a tub of coal out to the haulage, when he heard a very loud noise of something falling. He heard groans coming from his father, and on going back to the coal face found him lying on the pavement and coal lying all around him. There was a large piece of coal weighing two or three cwts. by his father's head. His father was removed to hospital where he died."
There's another one ...
HELEN HERD m.s. POLLOCK wife of David Herd. She was born 3 Jul 1872 and died at Grieve Street, Methilhill on 7 Oct 1953. She was interred at Methilhill Cemetery.
Any HERD information you have for the cemeteries around the area would be helpful. I'll refer the thread on to a cousin in California who's researching all the Herds in Scotland .

Lots to go on there. As you say, wrong dates, but perhaps relating to someone else in my records.

Thank you very much Norrie,
That was great, especially since I mistakenly gave you the year he married instead of the year he died.
I had no idea when his wife died and the additional information that his son Thomas Huntley Wood is in the same grave..
And Frances....I was not aware that they had a daughter, just two sons..
Thanks again a great result

Hello NorrieG
Many thanks for your reply re my ancestors Nicol/Thomson. I've now discovered that West Wemyss Church was only built in 1890 so I presume they would have been baptised at East Wemyss Church even though most lived in Coaltown of Wemyss?
I am descended from the lady with the wonderful name of Alexandria Wilhelmina Montgomery Bell NICOL (known as Minnie) who was my great grandmother. I already know a lot about her - her final resting place is in a Quaker burial ground Belfast, Ireland. Her father Alexander Nicol was originally a coalminer (and his father too) so I guess were unable to afford any headstones. Alexander later became a sub postmaster in Coaltown of Wemyss.
I'm still researching the sideways branches (siblings of Minnie and her uncles/aunts). I'll post again if I think any could be found in your index.
Thanks again.

Any grave marker pictures for Russell family in West Wemyss? There should be a number of markers, many of which would include several family members. Also, would be interested in Nicol and Sharp families as well.
Alexander Russell 1822 - 1891 married Janet Nicol 1822 - 1899
parents of:
George A Russell 1863 - 1908 married Jane Cook Sharp 1852 - 1933
I understand the Russell family home was called Melanie Mill(s). I am not sure if this is a name that would mean anything outside of the family.
Thanks,
Jerry Russell

Hi Norrie, do you have any inscriptions from St Mary's Churchyard down by the coast? It's technically still in East Wemyss.
I trundled through the big cemetery looking for OSTLER/HOSTLER and MALCOLM headstones but didn't find any. I was wondering if you found any and if not in the big one maybe in St Mary's?

I didn't think they'd appreciate me going into their garden so I didn't bother. If I had seen someone I may have asked!
Thanks for those other headstones, I'll see if I have them on my tree.
While we're at it, do you have any KINNES/KINNIS/KINNESS anywhere in Fife? Other than in Markinch, I've been there.

St Mary,s by the Sea Church is a private house but with open acess to the grounds. I have Fairfull,s there & have been a few times.

Hello Norrie,
No doubt you get many requests from afar. I hope you may be able to help me with this one.
I am in Australia and researching information and gravesites of the Patrick family, in particular Alexander Patrick, miner from Wemyss, and his wife Elizabeth (nee Taylor, from Airdrie and also from a mining family). Both would have passed away sometime between 1892 and 1913. I am sorry, I do not have birthdates for these.
Also of interest are their sons, George, John Taylor, Alexander, Andrew Taylor, James, William, and William David Taylor, all Patricks of course, and all born between 1873 and 1892. Again, I do not have deceased dates for these.
I would be most appreciative if you could let me know of any grave information or photographs you may find for this family.
Thank You and regards.

Thanks so much Norrie, thats an exemplary response to my enquiry, and I can't tell you how grateful i am for that information. I've spent the past hour just staring at the results and taking it all in. From just one post I have information dating back to the 1700's.
My grandfather was Christopher Westie Patrick (b. 1887 d.1980), plasterer who did most of his apprenticeship in Dysart. It seems that one of the reasons he emigrated to Australia via the U.S. in 1906 may have been the loss of both his parents. He later worked on the first Parliament house in Canberra.
Did you get the older information from parish records and census data? I only ask in case i want to pursue it further, but perhaps we may be getting close to the limits of written records in any case.
Thanks again.
P.S. I only have the Dillon side of the family from Roscommon to pursue now

George Barker b 1803 and Janet Davidson Barker
Henry Barker b 1809 and Catherine Lourie/Lawrie Barker b 1816
James Welsh b 1842 and Janet Barker Welsh b 1845
I'm sorry I don't have the death dates.

Hi NorrieG,
Again, thank you for your time. There is a John Barker in the family but the dates don't match so I don't think this is him.
I'm grateful for your help.
All the best,

Hi Cein,
I just noticed your post.
Henry Barker & Catherine Lawrie are in my tree.
Henry died 1871, Buckhaven and Catherine died 1884, Buckhaven.
I have them with 11 kids.

Hi NorrieG and Buckhind,
This is great info you've sent along. I am trying to digest it all. Many of the names match up with my research and I like how Steve has included occupations. I have a question though. In my research I have 3 more children born to James Welsh and Janet Barker: Janet b 1876 Kirkcaldy, Caroline b 1877 Leith and Christina (Christian) b 1879 Leith. Christina was my Grand Aunt. She emigrated to Canada in 1904 and married my Grand Uncle, Robert Gemmell, in 1906 in Guelph, Ontario. I hope I am not wrong about this but if I am please let me know. Also, James and Janet married 31 Dec 1868 in Buckhaven.
Thank you both for all your assistance.
All the best,
Cein

The parents of your Great Aunt Christina Welsh. 1880
James Parents were John Welsh 8.4.1786 & Elspith Wilson
John Welsh 8.4.1786 Parents were John Welsh & Isabella Anderson

Isabel WELSH 29.8.1809
Thomas WELSH 14.5.1811 Kil.

One of their Children WILLIAM WELSH 2.3.1818 married Charlotte GORDON

& Margaret KINNEAR who married 20.12.1816 Buckhaven
so it’s a small world we have a far of connection in our past ancestors
William & Charlotte children were

This may be a bit of a long shot, but I have -
James Buchanan d. 1879, married to Betsy Cairnie d. 1886, both died Buckhaven.
I am wondering if they may have been buried at East Wemyss cemetery? (or would anyone know which cemetery was used for Buckhaven around that time?).
I know that the family stayed in Buckhaven and that their son, James, was married (1873) in the United Presbyterian church, Buckhaven (to Betsy Thomson).
I had posted fairly recently generally on the related families but have since noticed this thread and thought it might just be relevant. Grateful for any advice available.

Norrie,
Thanks very much for your reply and this information, which has identified my grand uncle - Thomas Buchanan, who is the grandson of Betsy Cairnie. Its also I think possible that Elizabeth Buchanan (also listed above) is the cousin of Thomas.
This has been really helpful to me and I've got a much better picture of the family and their location, and also got a bit closer to tracking Betsy Cairnie!

Hi Doug sorry nothing on index for this family,
if you can let me know who the children married
I can check them.
NorrieG

Norrie,
Thanks for checking, and for offering to follow-up. The four children mentioned did not marry: their four siblings (not mentioned) left for other counties and/or America.
There is another couple you could check for, if you have the time, although they may have died too early to be in your index. They are James Arnott (1815-1887) and his wife Elizabeth (nee Angus) Arnott (1810-17 Jan 1876), who are the parents of the Charlotte in my original post. They could be in either East or West Wemyss.
Appreciate all your help. Very kind of you to spend so much time and effort assisting those of us with connections to the area.
Sincerely,
Doug

Hi Doug sorry nothing. remember its headstones i'm working from
and not every family had stones, I see they had a son Alexander 1838
who did he marry?
Norrie
-
Norrie,
Again, thanks for checking.
Alexander Arnott (1838-1921) married Rachel Bousie (1841-1921) on 29 Jun 1866 in Wemyss Parish. They had the following children: James (1867), Rachel Menzies (1871), Elizabeth Angus (1873), John (1879) and Agnes (1886). I believe the entire family ended up in Cleish Parish, Kinross Shire, by 1881.

Hi Norrie

Do you have these people or other FOTHERINGHAMs on your list? A transcript of the inscription and/or a photo of the headstones would be very much appreciated.

I know Ann [b c 1846] died 26 March 1913 at 13 Plantation Row Coaltown of Wemyss and her husband James died between the census 1881-91, but I have no idea where they are buried.
They had 7 children

Robert 1870
James 1872
Christina 1874
Agnes 1876
David 1879
Annie 1881
David and Annie were still at home on 1901 census.

Hello Norrie . Glad to come across you again after a few years. You were a wonderful help to me in my search for Gordon ancestors in and around Buckhaven. I have been away from my family history search for some time but hope to get back into it again now that winter is upon us. From this forum it looks like you have been a big help to many people.
Best of the season to you.

Hi Norrie G,
I visited East Wemyss cemetery last summer with a burial reference for my ancestors and didn't realise that I needed a map.... that cemetery is huge! Needless to say I didn't find the plot I was searching for - Lair number Sect O number 18..
Do you have any references to McKenzie's in your records for East Wemyss (MacDuffs) cemetery:
Peter McKenzie who died Feb 1890 and his wife Janet Brown, who died May 1875.
I saw your Fairfull information in an earlier post and this was very helpful. :)

there is a headstone on that location.

I am the great grandaughter of Alexander Fairfull b.1868 Wemyss and Agnes McEwan/Henderson, Kirsty we must be related :)

I am looking for the graves of my husband's GGG Grandparents:
George Henderson born 1791 in Largo, Fife, Scotland
and his wife
Catherine Laurie Henderson born 1791 in Wemyss, Buckhaven, Scotland
According to the General Index of Deaths for Scotland, Catherine (sic) Henderson was found to have died on 20th March 1855 at Temple, parish of Largo. According to her death entry, she was then aged 64, the widow of George Henderson, and the daughter of William Laurie (sic) a weaver, and Catherine Neish. She had resided 8 years in the parish of Largo, and was born in Buckhaven, Parish of Weymyss. Her children are listed as follows:-
Catherine aged 41
Peter 39
William 37
George born July and died Oct 1830
Johan 32
Thomson born Aug 1, and died Oct. 1832
George Thomson 21
James 19
Catherine died on March 20 1855 and was buried in the Burial Ground of Wemyss. The information for her death entry was given to the registrar, by her son, John Henderson.
I would appreciate it so very much if you would look at your lists to see if you know which cemetery she might be buried in and if there is a stone.
-
Hi Mary sorry nothing in my Index for George & Catherine
Catherine died on March 20 1855 and was buried in the Burial Ground of Wemyss.
she would most likely been buried at
St Mary's by the Sea Churchyard, Main Street, East Wemyss
there is no listing by Mitchells pre 1855 deaths nor FFH pre 1855 Death Cd
if you know who their children married I can check that.

Thanks Norrie. Not sure if this is them, my Henry and Mgt had a son called William Brown born in 1845 who ought to be on the 1851 census if this is the right family. That William Brown married Jessie Lessels (who I think was from Abbotshall). Their son James married Euphemia Kinnaird from Dysart. Will see if I can find out more about William Brown siblings to check if this is the correct census return.

Hello again Norrie
I've done some checking and this DOES look like the correct family as Alexander, Jeremiah and Jane were all born to Henry BROWN and Margaret DAVIDSON. Still can't work out why William (who should be about 6 years old) isn't on the census.

Hi
Have just found your site which is excellent. I am researching the Thomson / Dryburgh / Nicol families for my family tree.
From information given on here I have been able to confirm and update information I have on my tree plus add additional information and would be happy to exchange information with any others researching the same family. Helen Dryburgh (1800-1862) and Thomas Nicol (1799-1862) are my 3 x great grandparents.
Debbie, I have seen some of the photographs on here and they are superb, if I need them for my family, what information do you need? or do you already have the information to be able to send me these photographs having been asked by people in the past?
Kindest Regards
Duncan

Hi Joy sorry nothing in index, Who were his parents ?
Norrie
-
Hi Norris,
Many thanks for replying. William Marshall's parents did not come from Fife.
He married Johan (Joan) Bannerman Laing from West Wemyss in 1916 and he went to live there.
Her parents were John Murray Laing (B1878) and Georgina Bannerman (B1863) and they lived at Main Street, West Wemyss. John Murray Laing's Father was John Laing 1838-1907 and Mother was Fanny Laing 1839-1901 also from West Wemyss maybe William is Buried with the Laings.
I have been searching for William Marshall for about 6 years and only this week found him, ie his marriage and Death records (He was my Mother's brother).
Many thanks again
Best regards
Joy

Hi Norrie
Many, many thanks, most appreciated.
I shall have a look at the Russell and Grays to see if any appear to be "mine", mind you there are rather a lot of Grays in Wemyss from 1700 onwards and I'm not entirely sure where my Robert came from. The Russells, on the other hand, are now looking more promising .. trust the parish clark to omit the details on a 1738 baptism but I think that one will be mine based on other information and the majority of Russells in Wemyss appear to be the same family, at least for a few generations, albeit probably related to the Dysart family anyway. ;)

Hi, I wonder if you could help me find my great grandmother's grave. Her name was Martha Mathieson and she died on 25 January 1942 in High Street, Methil. Her second husband was Joe Mathieson. I'm trying to find out if she was buried in the area at her husband's request or if her family buried her in West Lothian with the rest of her family.
Thanks
-
Hi Iain What was Martha maiden name? who was her 1st husband, and who
were her parents
I cannot see a grave for a Joe Mathieson in either East Wemyss or Methilmill
cemetery which were the usually cemeteries used for the area.

Hi Iain What was Martha maiden name? who was her 1st husband, and who

I cannot see a grave for a Joe Mathieson in either East Wemyss or Methilmill
cemetery which were the usually cemeteries used for the area.
Norrie
Hi Norrie. Her maiden name was McLaren, first husband was George Hamilton. Her parents were William McLaren and Elizabeth Craig.
You wouldn't find Joe Mathieson (known as Mathewson at birth), as he moved down to Yorkshire with his daughter from his first marriage (Martha was wife number two) and he died down there in 1974.
I think she ended up in Fife living with some Hamilton relatives, after George died in 1936 in West Lothian. My own grandparents were living with Martha for a while in Methil before she died. If she's not in Fife, it's quite possible she's somewhere in West Lothian with her parents. That's an avenue I haven't gone down yet.
Thanks,
Iain
-
Her maiden name was McLaren, first husband was George Hamilton. Her parents were William McLaren and Elizabeth Craig.
Hi Iain sorry still nothing have checked both East Wemys & Methilmill Cemetery
no grave for William & Elizabeth McLaren,
checked the Hamilton stones to see if Martha is listed on any, but nothing
as all my information is based on Headstones she chould be buried with Hamiltons
but just not listed, there is no stone for George Hamilton.
sorry I could not have been more help

Thanks for your help Norrie. It's helped me narrow it down to the area hopefully! That's the problem with mining families moving allover the place.

Her parents were William Johnston and Bridget McMahon. Her husband was Patrick Higgins. Its doubtful he will be mentioned. Im going on a hunch she used a false name of Elizabeth Higgins in order to get an abortion done and she died as a result of the operation. The story surrounding her life is contained in my thread on the West Lothian page.
Thanks for looking Norrie.

The other line:
George Crombie (abt 1795-1860-1880) Married on 12 January 1789 to
Catherine Harrow (20 nov 1795 - 15 Aug 1860) 7 Children
Daughter of above Catherine Crombie (19 Oct 1823-10 Apr 1880) Married to
James Morgan (abt 1824 - 6 Jun 1877) 8 children
Daughter of above Catherine Morgan (12 Nov 1847 - After 1895) Married to
John Simpson (29 Sep 1844 - June 1914) Who I have as being in Northumberland, Durham, England when he died, but he was born in Wemyss as were all of the above.
Also if anyone reading this has information on the Simpson line around Wemyss please contact me. I've hit a dead end on John Simpson, my great-great grandfather.
Thank you so much for any information you have and see you soon :)

Norrie
Thank You Norrie....I checked and this is all lining up with the info I have. :D
Interesting find: There is an "Alex" listed on the 1881 census living with Margaret Briggs (widowed by then) who is 8 yrs old. Then he appears on the 1891 census living with Margaret's daughter Janet Adamson (46 at the time and unmarried) and he is listed as Alexander Methven. Curious...do you have that name anywhere? It's a mystery...just thought I'd throw that in there.
Now on to all the other treasures you unearthed... ;D

Hi Laura,

Thank You! I'm pretty sure that is them...I have John's death as June 1914 in England, but that seemed strange to me that he would leave the area. Alexander was my great-great uncle, brother of James Morgan Simpson who came here to the U.S. in 1904. so glad to be finding connections and I can't thank you enough! Like I said, we will be there in May so this is going to make it a trip of a lifetime....
And I am on ancestry so will be attaching this information. My name on there is also laurahammie...
Thank you Weemanswife!

In your last message, Catherine Simpson (wife of Thomas Arnott) is my great grand aunt.

I'm not sure where the others tie in but will keep looking. I will have more later if I haven't worn you out with all these names.
Thanks Norrie!

Hi Norrie
wow...you are a star. Thanks so much.
The Alexander Young (1834-1908) who erected the first stone died in 1908. I did not mention him because he drowned on The Hynde, south side at East Wemyss and I was not sure if he would be buried there. He was originally a farm worker from Scoonie, but later worked in the coal mines. His wife Betsy Rintoul was from Wemyss and the daughter of linen weavers. Alexander and his wife Betsy had 10 children, but Betsy and 3 daughters tragically all died from TB in a very short space of time.
His eldest son Alex Young (1858-1951) was my great grandfather and was a miner in the Great Michael pit. His wife Jean/Jane Adamson (1857-1939) and he had 6 children. I never knew that the eldest son Alex (1883-1941) was the organist at the church, he was originally a miner but a gifted pianist and later in life a music teacher in Edinburgh.
The James Adamson was the husband of Alex and Jane's daughter Mary.
I am a little surprised there is no stone for Alex and Jane's three children. John Young (b1891) aged 5 died in 1896 of diphtheria, William Young (b1886) died in 1917, he was a miner and then because of TB was the projectionist at the local Picture Palace at the time of his death and Jane Young (b1898) died in 1919
If its not asking too much could you check a couple of others ?
Betsy Rintoul's parents. James Rintoul (1805 - 1886) a linen weaver died in East Wemyss, as did his wife, Janet Rintoul ms McBain (1806-1884)
James Rintoul's parents were a Walter Rintoul, a linen hand loom weaver, and a Margaret ms Williamson although I do not have any date for their deaths which would be before 1855 or whether they died in East Wemyss.
Janet McBain's parents were an Alexander Bain, a stone mason and Elizabeth ms Simson from Dysart but their daughter Janet married in East Wemyss and so it's possible they may have died there.
Whether you find any more or not, I just wanted to say a real thank you for the images and what you found.
Kind Regards
Morris

Hi Norrie
Thanks
#26 The Margaret Rintoul married to David Knox is the sister of the Elizabeth Betsy Rintoul who was married to the Alexander Young (d1908) who's headstone you found. Margaret was another daughter of James Rintoul the weaver and his wife Janet McBain
The Elizabeth Thomson, who died aged 39 buried with the 4 young children who died, was the first wife of Walter Rintoul. Another 4 children survived that I know of. Walter Rintoul was also a child of James Rintoul the weaver and Janet McBain, and brother to Betsy and Margaret. I have his death as 1903, not 1905. He was named after his paternal grandfather Walter who was the father of James the weaver
#1026 The Dora Rintoul mother of Elizabeth Tait was the daughter of Walter Rintoul and Elizabeth Thomson
#223 John Rintoul born circa 1803 was probably a brother of James the weaver
I am not sure where James Rintoul the weaver(d 1886) and his wife Janet McBain (d 1884) might have been buried if not in East Wemyss. They had another son John Rintoul, a stone mason, who died in 1894 in Anstruther, and also two small children Janet and James who I think died by 1851.
Thanks for searching and for what you have found.

Wife Alison HUTCHISON died 18.8.1949 age 79
this could be another son and the brother of Forbes and could Nan be the sister of
Margaret?

Hi Norrie
That's great - thank you!!
I've checked with my mum (my dad passed away Dec 2011) and she doesn't recognise inscription 10 so not sure if they are related to us. Inscription 13 is my dad's uncle and auntie who where both siblings of my dad's mother and father (which I didn't know). My grandfather (Forbes Welsh) is buried beside Margaret and Mary but unfortunately his name was never put on the headstone.
My great grandfather was called Peter Welsh who was the father of Forbes and john. There was also a sister called Ina?? Not sure what her married name would have been though.
My dad spent some of his childhood in methil so i think some of the family would have been from the buckhaven area. Have you any other information on the name Ness?
I'm seeing my mum at the weekend so hopefully will get more information then.
Many thanks

Hi Andrea I acessed the marriage Certificate for Forbes Welsh & Margaret Ness
and it gives

parents Forbes Welsh Stockeeper & Alison Hutchison
Margaret Grant Ness age 38 Ironmongers Asst. Wood bank House East Wemyss
parents Peter Ness Storekeeper Colliery & Eliza Page
Witness James D Penman & Jeannie Beveridge
this would meant that Margaret Ness died after only 4 years of Marriage
Your other GGrandfather was called Peter Ness
Inscription East Wemyss
1234. Cherished memories of Eliza Page the dearly beloved wife of
Peter Ness d. 17.9.1949 aged 79. She was gentle, loving and kind.
Also the above Peter Ness d. 16.10.1951 aged 82. United

Wife Alison HUTCHISON died 18.8.1949 age 79

Hi Mitch,
I am the great, great, great granddaughter of Alex and Elizabeth (Taylor) Patrick.
Their son Alexander and his wife Mary (Miller) came to New Zealand in 1921. They had 3 children.
Moira , Catherine and John. I am the granddaughter of Catherine.
John Taylor was born 1875 - Died 1951
Son Alexander was born 1897 - Died 1976
I have birth dates and death dates of most of the Patrick Family from the Patrick Bible. It was handed down to me from my great Aunty Moria who use to travel to Scotland to visit her grandparents. I also have photos

Hi Mitch and welcole to Roots web,and success on your first post
you asked
I am in Australia and researching information and gravesites of the Patrick family, in particular Alexander Patrick, miner from Wemyss, and his wife Elizabeth (nee Taylor, from Airdrie and also from a mining family). Both would have passed away sometime between 1892 and 1913. I am sorry, I do not have birthdates for these.
Also of interest are their sons, George, John Taylor, Alexander, Andrew Taylor, James, William, and William David Taylor, all Patricks of course, and all born between 1873 and 1892. Again, I do not have deceased dates for these.
I would be most appreciative if you could let me know of any grave information or photographs you may find for this family.
THIS MAY BE OF SOME USE

Hi Kathy sorry there is nothing on my headstone index for Thomas & Elizabeth,
Who were their parents ? if you don't know then can access their Marriage certificate
on Scotlands People site which is a pay for view site also you will be able to access the 1901 Census. if you can supply these further names I can again check index for any headstones.

Hi Norrie
Yes that all seems correct!! Your a superstar!!
Margaret Ness died ten days after giving birth to my dad so they were only married a short time.
Not sure if you would be able to get any further info??
Also do you have anything for the name Forbes, Gourley and Moodie (not sure if spelt with y) in west wemyss??

Hi Norrie
My cousin in Brisbane was asking if there was a headstone image available from East Wemyss Cemetery for Elizabeth Blyth Kennedy m.s. Rollo who died 15 Jan 1939. She was the wife of the Reverend John Kennedy who died 13 Mar 1963.
Can you help?

Hi Norrie
wow...you are a star. Thanks so much.
The Alexander Young (1834-1908) who erected the first stone died in 1908. I did not mention him because he drowned on The Hynde, south side at East Wemyss and I was not sure if he would be buried there. He was originally a farm worker from Scoonie, but later worked in the coal mines. His wife Betsy Rintoul was from Wemyss and the daughter of linen weavers. Alexander and his wife Betsy had 10 children, but Betsy and 3 daughters tragically all died from TB in a very short space of time.
His eldest son Alex Young (1858-1951) was my great grandfather and was a miner in the Great Michael pit. His wife Jean/Jane Adamson (1857-1939) and he had 6 children. I never knew that the eldest son Alex (1883-1941) was the organist at the church, he was originally a miner but a gifted pianist and later in life a music teacher in Edinburgh.
The James Adamson was the husband of Alex and Jane's daughter Mary.
I am a little surprised there is no stone for Alex and Jane's three children. John Young (b1891) aged 5 died in 1896 of diphtheria, William Young (b1886) died in 1917, he was a miner and then because of TB was the projectionist at the local Picture Palace at the time of his death and Jane Young (b1898) died in 1919
If its not asking too much could you check a couple of others ?
Betsy Rintoul's parents. James Rintoul (1805 - 1886) a linen weaver died in East Wemyss, as did his wife, Janet Rintoul ms McBain (1806-1884)
James Rintoul's parents were a Walter Rintoul, a linen hand loom weaver, and a Margaret ms Williamson although I do not have any date for their deaths which would be before 1855 or whether they died in East Wemyss.
Janet McBain's parents were an Alexander Bain, a stone mason and Elizabeth ms Simson from Dysart but their daughter Janet married in East Wemyss and so it's possible they may have died there.
Whether you find any more or not, I just wanted to say a real thank you for the images and what you found.
Kind Regards
Morris

Hi Norrie
I'm chasing Russell sidelines at the moment. Picked up a rootsweb posting of yours from 2005 regarding Dunsire gravestones in East Wemyss cemetery. Do you still have a photo of the following please?
385 John Russell DUNSIRE died 1.6.1968 age 68
youngest son of David & Sarah DUNSIRE
and brother of Annie Thomson DUNSIRE
died 29.5.1971 age 68
David's wife was Sarah Thomson. His parents being Isabella Russell and Robert Dunsire who both died in 1871 but I don't think there would be a gravestone for them anyway.
Judging by various ancestry trees, there was also another son Alexander Thomson Dunsire who died about 1953 and was buried in East Wemyss. David Dunsire died 1945.
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Nicola

Hi Norrie
I'm looking for my great great grandfather John McIntosh, died 6 December 1919, husband of Alice Dryburgh Crichton, who died 3 December 1939. The last known residence of John before his death was in Leslie in 1911, but died in Durie St, Methil in 1919. His wife died in Methil also in 1939. I was wondering if you had any record of them being there? John was originally from Abbotshall, but I thought I'd see if he was in Methilhill, given that I have other relatives (including his daughter Isabella) who died in the Leslie/Glenrothes/Methil area and ended up in there. I can't find a specific thread for Methilhill, so I hope this is ok.
Thanks :)

Thanks for that Norrie. I've spoken to a relation and he says he has a photo of the headstone from the late 70s where the inscription above is visible. I've only ever seen a photo of it from recent times with very badly faded writing. Thanks for your help though, I guess John and Alice McIntosh were perhaps in there already with a cheap headstone marker and then they got the newer one when John Paton died in 1960.
As for the Crichton one, it could well be a connection, but I've yet to fully investigate that branch. No doubt when I do, I'll come back to you with other names! :)

Hi Norrie. Fresh from a visit to Edinburgh to Register House yesterday and I did some digging on my McIntoshs, the siblings of my Great Grandmother mentioned previously. I believe Alice H McIntosh (married to Alexander Allison) 1906 to 1971 to be in Methilmill, along with her brother David Crichton McIntosh (married to Jemima Black) 1901 to 1963. They also had a brother William McIntosh (married to Robina Smith) who died in 1950 aged 47, but I'm not sure if he's in there or not too.
