Hi Gerry
JOHN CUMMING- Death record from SP indicates he died in Milton, Markinch on 14/4/1876 age 79, widower of Sophia Johnston.
That would be more than likely Milton of Balgonie about a mile from Markinch. There is a small cemetery around the Church there.
Stuart Farrell in his Monumental inscriptions list 50 stones but no Cummings
I,m not sure of his exact birth details, but previous census data gives his place of birth as Ceres. Sophia Johnston was his second wife, she was born in Cupar on 21/4/1812, they married in Largo on 15/7/1850, they had a son John born Largo in 1851.
Sophia was the widow of a Thomas Miller
Nothing for Thomas Miller
and they had a daughter Janet born Ceres c1839 and she died Leslie 1901.
Nothing on Janet
John Cumming,s first wife was Elizabeth Forbes, b Anstruther 22/1/1804 d c1840, married 1827 Largo they had a number of children,
John b largo 1828, william born largo 1831, peter b largo 1833, possibly a Margaret and My direct relation David McRae Cumming b largo 1836 d leslie 1913, who married the above Janet Miller in East Wemyss on 24/12/1860. One strange thing I did notice that On David McRAE Cummind,s birth cert his mother,s maiden name is given as Forbes, but on his death cert it is given as Bowman. How can one explain that?
Its possible the the person who registered the death did not know her maiden name its not unusual.
John Cumming,s parents I think were John Cumming and Magdalene(Maitland) ?? Brown.
Nothing for them
I suppose even though he died in Markinch he may not have been buried there.
There are lots of people without Headstones
