Original post from NorrieG
Over a number of years I have photographed most of the
Headstones in these Cemeteries
East Wemyss Cemetery2300 headstones
West Wemyss Cemetery 210 headstones
Some of the stones are back to the late 1800s
If you care to supply me only with the names of the
Husband & Wife eg.
WW 2 James Allan Jemima Gordon
I will check my index and if there is a stone I will supply you
with the Inscription and a photograph of the stone if required.
The photograph is the alter area inside West Wemyss
Church, the church stands within the cemetery.

Dear Norrie G
On page 8 of part 1, you replied to MitchPatrick and gave some information about the Patrick family as well as photos of the 2 Patrick headstones in McDuff Cemetery. Mitch is my husband's cousin, but we have been working independently on the Patrick family tree.
Part of the information given states that James Patrick married Agnes Webster which I agree with. Then it goes on to say that James Patrick's parents are Alexander Patrick and Mary Philp, and that Alexander's parents are John Patrick and Janet Hurlay. I can't find James Patrick's birth, although I have found 3 births to Alexander Patrick and Mary Philp, Cecil baptised 19.3.1773, Janet baptised 30.4.1775, and John baptised 20.11.1777. Are you able to help me with the baptism of James? or tell me where you came by the information please? I have looked for some time today on Scotland's People and I'm confused.
Thank you very much for the headstone photos and the other information about the Patrick family. Just brilliant. Best wishes, Teri in Oz

Hi there,
could not see how to contact you directly, however my elderly mother in law wants to lay flowers on her family grave in the church yard which has a wall onto Macduff castle Wemyss? I have tried to search on-line for burial but cannot find anything at all... Since we live in Hampshire and were supposed to be coming to Scotland this summer just for her to do this. I wondered if you could shed some light on a burial - she tells us that the local miners paid for a headstone? the name is: Roderick Paterson died circa 1947 + 2/3 yrs? As my mother in law has the onset of dementia it is very difficult to get information from her, but she does say that there are a few family members in the grave, could also be a Sophie (wife died circa 1934 in childbirth)? + others?? If you could give me some information that would be wonderful. thank you
-
Hi , welcome to RootsChat :)
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ has a death for a Roderick Paterson 1948 , Buckhaven Fife , born c1880.
Buckhaven is in the Parish of Wemyss , I think.
Also a death for a Sophia Paterson 1934 , Buckhaven Fife , born c1905.
Could they be the persons you are looking for ?

Ooooh yes it is them, do you know anything about their burial place?

Hi Yes there is a headstone from the local miners, which states
339. In memory of Roderick Paterson d. 19.7.1948 aged 68y a token of esteem from fellow workers at Wellesley Colliery
there is no mention of any other family members, but there is a number of other PATERSON
headstones in East Wemyss cemetery, any other names for me to check?
Norrie
-
Wow thank you so much, do you know if this headstone is still there, and which cemetery is it in, and could you tell me where it is?
Are there any burials for:
Sophie Paterson - the 1905 birth - died 1934?
Or an Ann/Anne Paterson - this would have been the mother of Roderick
or a Sandy? Paterson.
Thank you very kindly
Dawn

do you know if this headstone is still there, and which cemetery is it in, and could you tell me where it is?
Hi Dawn
It was there 3years ago but I will visit and find exact location, it is in the older of the 2 cemeteries.
Sophie Paterson - the 1905 birth - died 1934?
what was Sophies maiden name ? Roderick would have been 25 years older than Sophie
do you know if Roderick had been married before?
Who were Rodericks Parents ?
Norrie
-
Hi Norrie,
I cannot thank you enough for your assistance, Sophie Paterson - nee Watson and yes she was apparently much younger than Roderick, she died giving birth to her 2nd child? Jean Paterson. (deceased aged 59)her first child was my mother in law Rhoda Hobbs, nee Paterson.
I know that Roderick had other children, 1 - Alex Paterson.(deceased aged 59) I do not know if Roderick ever married Alex's mother? but was told she died.
I believe that Rodericks' parents were -
Alex R Paterson
Ann Paterson - found this family on the 1881 census in Glasgow, when Roderick was 1 yr old.
I know that Roderick had a sister, Barbara there was also another brother there was also a mention of the surname macintosh - perhaps linked to Rodericks mother.
Hope that all makes sense.
Again thank you so very much.
Kindest Regards
Dawn

Hi Dawn these directions should get you there
Drive through the gates to the newer part of East Wemyss Cemetery
thats the McDuffs castle end.
then proceeded by car through the opening into the older part of cemetery
after about 20 meters take the road to the right, after 40 meters stop
on the left hand side you will see a white stone to George RUSHFORD
slightly to the right and 4 levels behind is Rodericks stone lying flat
to the ground next to a stone for Christina Clark & William McIntosh
note a McIntosh
I know that Roderick had a sister, Barbara there was also another brother there was also a mention of the surname macintosh - perhaps linked to Rodericks mother.

Hello all: I wonder if anyone can help me locate my great grandparents resting place. There is a bit of a complication to their story though.
My g-grandmother Christina Thomson Young Flucker (Flockhart) died June 1st 1918 in Methil. My g-grandfather John Flucker married again to a widow Christina Wyles in 1920. He then died in 1939. Neither of them are buried in Methil. It has been suggested that they may be buried in East Weymss.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

is nothing on the above.
Flucker is an uncomman name and this inscription came up in Methilmill Cemetery
there may be some connection for you.

Hi Sorry I missed your request in May we used to be notified when someone was
making a request on our posting, but that has stopped
I cannot find a Headstone for the above in East Wemyss and I'am using
an up to date list there are a number of Wallace Stones.

Hi NorrieG,
When you get home from holiday.
Could you please have a look to see if you have any information or photo of headstone of a William Sangster 1878-1949 or his wife Isabella Methven d. 28/1/1947 whose name would probably
be on the headstone first in East Weymss cemetery and also if you know which section of the
cemetery they are in
Thanks

Hi Sarah I bought the Cds for East Wemyss Cemetery from Scottish Monumental Ins
a number of years ago and only use them when I don't have one of my own photos
for the headstone, Helen Grant ( Scottish Mon. Ins ) has never objected in the past

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody could help me locate where some of my ancestors are buried? My great-great grandfather Roderick Stewart died in East Wemyss in 1933, and his wife Helen (maiden name Smith) died there in 1940.
My great-great-great grandfather also Roderick Stewart died in 1885 in Buckhaven, however I'm aware his wife Mary (maiden name McDonald) died in 1860 and was buried in Methilmill
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Norrie
Do you have records for Jean Warrender born 1803 m James Oswald (dont have a date of birth for him) they married 1827.
Their children that I have found are James, Rachel, Ann, Walter and John. Ann Oswald is buried in the East Wemyss cemetery with her husband Walter Kyles, and their Children James Oswald Kyles, Rachel, John and Walter. I already have a photo of the headstone for this family group spanning years 1875-1996.
Jean Warrender was the daughter of Walter Warrender and Rachel Durie I dont have any marriage date for them yet but believe Walter was born in 1771 ..Their other children, in addition to Jean were John, Walter and David.
Many thanks

Thanks so much Norrie
I would love photos of all except 1729 as I already have that one. Margaret Lister Kyles and Alexander McLennan are my grandparents.
Can I seek a couple of further generations on the Warrenders if they are to be found .. so there is Walter Warrender and Rachel Durie. Walter born 1771 dont know their date of marriage but I am assuming approx 1795 based on first child born 1797,
And Walters parents were Andrew Warrender born 1749 and Christian Hutton, they married 1770 and had 7 children that I am aware of the above Walter, Margaret, Andrew, Elizabeth, Janet, a second Margaret and Alexander.
Andrews parents were Walter Warrender born 1725 and Helen Sivewright or Sievewright born 1713 and they had 4 children John, Walter, Andrew and Elspeth ... I have seen others mentioning this couple earlier in your topic.
so much thanks - you are helping me move forward without undertaking a flight from down under

Hi Norrie,
I am interested in finding the burial sites of Peter (Patrick) Fraser dod 8th Dec 1861 and Elspeth Fraser (nee Cumming) dod 6th Feb 1885. They both lived at Gellymill/Gellyburn, so I assume that they were buried in the cemetery at Macduff?.
I am hoping it may be possible to visit their grave when I visit Scotland later this year.
Thanking you for you assistance, Rose

Hi Rose sorry there is nothing in East Wemyss Cemetery for the above
are you sure are in the right area as nothing comes up for Gellymill/Gellyburn
but there is a Gellymill in Macduff Banffshire

Hi Norrie,
You are correct; it's the Banffshire Macduff cemetery that I am looking for (in my excitement I shouldn't have ignored 'Fife").
Is there anyone I can contact, who knows the Banffshire cemetery, and would be able to assist me?
THANKs, Rose

Hi Norrie
Onto a new branch of the tree - do you have any headstones for Andrew Martin and Anne Oliphant. Anne Martin nee Oliphant died before 1874, and was married to Andrew Martin. Their children were born from 1838 till 1850 so I anticipate they married about 1835-37 and guessing they were born around 1805-1815. Their children were John born 1838, Ann born 1839, Andrew born 1841, George born 1844, John born 1846 (I suspect first child John died) Samuel 1848 and James 1850 (you have already supplied me with photo for James Martin who married Margaret Lister). All the children were born in Wemyss.
Many thanks

Sorry no headstone for the above whho did their children Marry and will check for them
Norrie

Andrew Martin born 1841 I think married Agnes Wood in Wemyss in 1873, on a quick search I cant locate any children born to this couple.
George married Hellen Braid (maybe Helen) in 1868. they had one child Andrew. George died in 1910 but is listed as buried in Dysart so wont be on your list I believe.

Hi Norrie
I have communicated with you in the past and you were most helpful. I have been looking at another aspect of my husband's family namely Alexander Peter who married Janet Kinnear 7.2.1823 at Wemyss. I have found his death 27th August 1862 age 66 where he is quoted as widower of Janet Kinnear. I can't find any information about Janet's death however (between 1851 and 1861). This is a long shot but I was wondering if there were any PETER /KINNEAR headstones that you are aware of? I have also been unable to find any births for this couple although a daughter Margaret was born about 1824 and it is stated that Alexander and Janet are her parents, (She married George Bisset PATRICK) also if I have found the correct census returns there was a son James born about 1827. Any help would be most appreciated, here in sunny Australia. Thank you.

Hi Norrie do you by any chance have a John Martin died Mar 1857 buried East Wemyss. Hi wife was Marion Whyte who predeceased him but I dont have her date of death yet - I think it was between 1851 and 1857.
thanks

Hi Norrie,
Might be a bit of a long shot, looking for an ancestor of mine, James McDonald. He was born around 1784 and died in Buckhaven in 1842, though lived in East Wemyss for a time. His wife Janet (nee Hamilton) died in Buckhaven in 1873. I'm not too hopeful of a stone existing as she was listed as a pauper on her death certificate. The only other thing I have to go on is that his daughter Mary was buried in Methilmill but no stone exists (as you were kind enough to check some time ago).
Ross.

hi there
I live in Australia and wanted to find the ground where my GGG Grandfather was buried in November 1847 t the St Mary's churchyard in East Wemyss. There does not seem to be any records of burials at this churchyard cemetery anywhere. I doubt he had a headstone. His name was John SPARK buried &th Nov 1847. Now I know to the west of him was a James HOGG, to the East John BURTS, North by Kirk Road Southof the Aisle, south by John Baffours Sawmill. anyone got any ideas where this might roughly be. I cant seem to see a Kirk Road near this cemetery but someone there might know?
-
I have have a printed copy of Fife Family History Society Monumental Inscriptions printed in 2002 ,I found Hoggs & Burts nothing for Peter Spark . There is an older MI,s pre 1855 I have a copy of the index for St Mary,s I,ll have look for it .This is an old graveyard and headstones have fallen grass have covered them . First time I visited I found my gr gr gr grandparents but the next time there was just the out line where the headstone lay . Kirsty
-
Thank you, much appreciated if you can find it. Was the Hoggs and Burts graves at St Mary's cemetery? These were mentioned in 1843 as where John Spark was buying the burial ground.
He would have been buried November 1847 - states at Wemyss cemetery but this paperwork we have from 1843 suggests the East Wemyss churchyard; Which I assume is St Mary's. The main East Wemyss Cemetery was from 1867 onwards so he wont be in there.
Cheers
Peter
