Hi Shelly

That is OK, you like challenges 

Dunbog Graveyard is maintained by Fife Council Bereavement Services, but interments no longer take place there. Records of burials are likely to be sketchy, if available at all

www.fife.gov.uk/atoz/index.cfm?fuseaction=facility.display&facid=D08B238F-0683-4619-85C2476EC9D50F6B

The tel number quoted there, not sure it is for the cemetery or for the Fife Council Bereavement Services?

Hi Monica,
              just to let you know that we visited the Dunbog cemetery nothing there,lovely little place though,also got a message from the Fife Council asking for the name and date my uncle died and they would look it up,that was 4weeks ago ,no answer yet.
I am wondering if you can help me again? i found my my grandads name in the 1920 valuation roll his name was not 100% correct but the place seems to be what he was used to,i emailed the Perth & Kinross archives for more info., who was in the house with him at that time,they can not give me any info., although Dundee and Renfrew councils did give me info on the same thing?i have a ref,number is there anywhere i can look this up myself on the internet?
Sorry Monica ,truly grateful for your help.

Good to see you are working through still. Knew you would 

For this period that you are in, things get trickier to find online. Not sure what additional details you have been provided with by Dundee and Renfrew councils (but great that you have this).

Regarding the 1920 valuation roll, this is a brief description here of what is to be found there www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/Content/Help/index.aspx?r=554&2080  Normally only heads of households were included on the valuation rolls.

Maybe what you need to check is the electoral rolls. Like the valuation roll, these can only be searched by address, not name. Given what they are, they only apply for people who were eligible to vote.

None of these type of records are equivalent to a census unfortunately  Also, as important, they can't be searched/viewed online and would have to be searched at a main research library in the area.

PS: Maybe follow up with Fife Council for a response. Likely a prompt may help
