Fife / Re: HEADSTONES in Kirkcaldy Cemeteries(Part 2)
« on: Tuesday 26 August 14 14:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi Norrie - I'm looking for

Margaret (Bowman) (Simpson) Beveridge: Born 17 August 1797 - Died 20 August 1878.
She was married to William Simpson who died before 1827.
Then married to William Beveridge 23 November 1827.  William Beveridge died in 1851.

I'm actually tracing the Simpson line so if you find a William Simpson thank you.  I posted on the East/West Wemyss site looking for William's son James Simpson (11 Aug 1814 - 13 Feb 1870) who married Marjory Fairfull (abt 1814 - 19 Dec 1891.) but I don't think anything was found.

Thanks in advance!

Laura

Hi JDB…I know your original post dates back but if you see this, I have info on Ancestry about a George Carstairs Dewar (1890-1891).  I'm not sure where the Carstairs name came to be in my tree.  :)

In your last message, Catherine Simpson (wife of Thomas Arnott) is my great grand aunt.

I didn't know about George's wife Robina so added her to my tree   :)

I'm not sure where the others tie in but will keep looking.  I will have more later if I haven't worn you out with all these names.

Thanks Norrie!

Hi Laura,

Is this your John Simpson  - 
Erected by JOHN SIMPSON in memory of CATHERINE MORGAN his wife died 2-11-1896 aged 45y
Also the above JOHN SIMPSON died 24-2-1915 aged 70y.  Also HELEN KINEALLY FINNIGAN beloved wife of ALEXANDER SIMPSON d 12-8-1943 aged 66y Also the above ALEXANDER SIMPSON d 15-4-1946 aged 66y.  Also their daughter Marjory d 24-4-1918 aged 1y 9m Also daughter HELEN K.F. ROLLO d 2-2-1991 aged 76y.


Thank You!  I'm pretty sure that is them...I have John's death as June 1914 in England, but that seemed strange to me that he would leave the area.  Alexander was my great-great uncle, brother of James Morgan Simpson who came here to the U.S. in 1904.  so glad to be finding connections and I can't thank you enough!  Like I said, we will be there in May so this is going to make it a trip of a lifetime....
And I am on ancestry so will be attaching this information.  My name on there is also laurahammie...

Thank you Weemanswife!



Regards
Weemanswife
