Thanks Keyboard86,

Death 1891  MASTERTON James  Torryburn, Fife  Age 83

Pob for Margaret varies in the census. I'm not sure of her maiden name.

Death 1900 MASTERTON Margaret (BLELLOCH) Torryburn, Fife  Age 89.

Regards,

Fred

James died in December 1891, buried in Torryburn churchyard. Margaret died in 1900 aged 89 years.

William Masterton, brother of James, died in 1877 in Perth. Margaret Wynd, his wife, had died in 1850.
