Hi, Can anyone please let me know if they have a cemetery plan for East Wemyss cemetery? I've been in contact with Fife Council and they have been very helpful in providing the lair number where my great grandparents are buried. However, plans are only available by visiting the Kirkcaldy office which I can't easily manage in working hours (I'm in Glasgow). The lair is described as in section G-South, and I suspect no (legible) stone exists. I'd be grateful for any advice or information.
Thank you
David

Hi Norrie, thanks very much for your reply. Details are James Buchanan (d. 17/8/1920), and wife Betsy Thomson (d. 27/8/1924).
For information, you had kindly replied to an earlier post of mine (reply #86 on topic HEADSTONE INSCRIPTIONS East Wemyss & West Wemyss Cemeteries - Part 1) enquiring about James' parents, when you had listed all photographed Buchanan headstones, hence my assumption now that there is no stone, or legible stone, for James/ Betsy.
I am suspecting therefore that I'll need a cemetery plan for that section to identify the exact plot location?

Do you any record of a John Lucy who died 18 Jan 1920 at Wemyss Memorial Hospital?
-
Norrie,
Thanks very much - that is really really helpful. If I send you a PM, could you then send me on the James Buchanan stone photo?
One last favour - if you know the approximate location of the James Buchanan stone, could you possibly state which of my numbered locations it is nearest? - I've assumed that it is somewhere on the map below (hoping the map attaches OK and is readable!)
Thanks again for all your help.

Best wishes

Thank you very much Norrie. Is there any way I can obtain a photo of the headstone (by email)? I live in London, so it is too far to visit in person.
