Hi Jeanp,  I am a new member and would like to know if you have found any Joseph Freemans in your travels 2 in Marykirk, 1901 age 75, one 1879, age36 at time of death and one 1885 age 65 Laurencekirk burial.  The one 1879 was born in Benholm.  So could be buried there. 
 
    Cheers Joxer42

Hello again,

Thanks for the clarification.
Where was his death registered? As you can appreciate I don't want to spend a rainy sunday afternoon in the cemetery, if there's no hope of finding anything.

Jean.

Hi, Jeanp
                   joseph Freemans death was registered in Marykirk 24 -11-1879.  I had thought that you had a list of names,  I certainly was not expecting you to be going round the graveyard in the winter time, or any other time for that matter.  Thanks again for your help.
                                                           Cheers Joxer42

Hello,

Sorry for the confusion! No, I don't have a list and I really don't mind searching, but there's a bit more incentive if I think I'm definitely going to find something.

I will take a look for you and get back to you if I find anything.

Jean :)

Hi JEANP,

Have just started looking up my wife's ancestors in Kincardineshire and at the moment have 2 deaths in  Johnshaven, though whether they were buried there or at Benholm I don't know.

John Forsyth 10/3/1866 age 68, death registered at Benholm and Mary Forsyth (nee Bain) 28/12/1888 age 88, death registered at Johnshaven.
There are 2 other children that may show up, last seen 1891 Johnshaven, Duncan 58 and Elizabeth 55.

Any details appreciated whenever convienient.

Hello,

I have a plan of the kirkyard dated 1892 and quite a lot of the graves are named, there are no Forsyth graves unfortunately.

However, I will check Johnshaven cemetery the next time I'm passing and get back to you.

Hi Jean,
Thank you for responding, didn't know about the Forsyth family in that area, Catherine knew there was that name in the family but nothing more.
It was a surprise when we found that they came from Ross & Cromarty and ended up in Benholm/Bervie.

The one that we are tracing down married in Dundee and ended up in Berwickshire, quite a journey, the rest as far as I can make out stayed in Kincardinshire.

Regards,

Barry.
