Hello JoT,
We have the following information - can you possibly confirm it or add to it in anyway?
Forgan
Robert Mackie buried 26/04/1803, Margaret Mackie wife nee Buttercase buried 09/12/1808. Their son James Mackie buried 13/12 1815 but we are not quite sure where, it could be Forgan, Ferryport or Leuchars, & his wife Catherine Mackie nee Smith.

Dairsie
Christian Mitchell nee Terras died 24/10/1866 aged 72. James Hean/Hen died 25/05/1784.

Ceres
Robert Terras died 17/03/1810

Logie
David Forbes buried 18/01/1755

Leuchars
David Smith buried 28/01/1780, Christian Terras nee Hean died 07/05/1803.

We also have a David Sutherland dying as a result of an accident in Blebo Craigs quarry, Kemback 24/01/1895. Would he be buried in Kemback?
If you find any other members of these families, we would love to hear about them but realise you will be very busy with the ones we have already mentioned! Any help would be most welcome & appreciated.
Regards,
Graham

Checked Forgan churchyard but unfortunately no inscription listed for Robert and Margaret.  There are some Mackies:

Thomas Just of Justfield 8/01/1821 age 80, wife Barbara Mackie 8/12/1855 age 80, son Robert in Newport 11/10/1893 age 82

John Anderson wright Dundee, wife Ann Mackie ?/06/1800 age 47

Patrick Mackie smith, wife ? 170?, WM  TM  IM  AM

1740 AM  MW  AM  WM  IM  SM, Margaret Walker 20/10/175? age 51, wife of Alex Mackie, six children

George Mackie, widow Elizabeth Thomson 24/01/1878 age 85, daughter Jane 21/05/1890,

There are other Mackies in some of the other churchyards in the book but no Robert or James. I'll keep looking.

I have a Thomas Robertson Born in Cults in 1741 married to Ann Henes B 1745. I don't have dates of death for either of them. Would it be possible to check for inscriptions on these.

Many thanks

Can't find either I'm afraid anywhere in the churchyards listed.

Hi Jo T
Would you mind looking to see whether there are any MIs in Kilmany for Robert Paterson and Elspeth Paterson (but could be Margaret Paterson)
Unfortunately I don't have any real idea of time but would guess this could be between 1800-1820 (they would have been born c 1770)
Sorry to be so vague but any help would be much appreciated
