St Cyrus Kirkyard
« on: Tuesday 11 June 13 16:46 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have a copy of the pre-188 MI book for Kincardineshire? If so, I would be very grateful to know if there are any stones commemorating either James White/Whyte and Jean/Jane Croll, or James Whyte/White and May/Marjory Mitchell.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

This is from Nether St.Cyrus:

"by Jas White smith at Bourtrybush imo s Jas 8.2.1794 2y10m, my w Jean Croat 20.3.1799.  Jas White 11.5.1802 13.  Jas White 12.11.1837 79, w May Mitchell 12.7.1857 80".

('Croat' just a weathered 'Croll'?).

Brilliant, thank you! That confirms my theory that May Mitchell was James White's second wife.
