Fife / Cemetery Search for a 'Donibristle' death in 1866
« on: Sunday 07 July 19 09:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi all
how do I go about trying to pin down where a relative is buried in Scotland. Many search sites are based on the search of Headstones. What if a relative doesn't have a headstone? what is the next best way of finding out a last resting place. I am interested in William Duncan (1806-1866) and his wife Janet Kilgour (1802-1848)
any help appreciated

Armed Forces Resources / Beath Fife, Scotland Military service 1896-1915?
« on: Sunday 07 July 19 09:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi
Does anyone know what this military service might have been? I have found a record for my great grandfather serving ... His service record is listed with those ranging from 1806-1915...yet he was also a miner and moved to NZ in 1920. He was bonded for 5 years service to pay for his passage and that of his family. Mum knows that he definitely served, so his birth date and name on this record makes sense, just not sure what his military service would have been.

Would have served in the army full-time? been a volunteer or militia type force? There is no record of him serving during WWl, so it is a bit puzzling. Perhaps the need to mine coal kept him working in this area?

thanks all for your time

The Common Room / BEVERIDGE: Scotland
« on: Sunday 24 February 19 00:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I live in NZ and on my Mum's side there is the name 'BEVERIDGE".
On my Dad's side there is also the name BEVERIDGE. Descendants of both ended up in New Zealand.

I do wonder if there is a connection and if there is a researcher out there that might have knowledge of this family.
John BEVERIDGE, Dumferline Fife. (No dates, but his daughter was Elisabeth BEVERIDGE
22 September 1849 – 9 September 1905)

Robert BEVERIDGE Kinglassie, Fife.  1803-1870 (his son James 1838-1890 immigrated to NZ).

thanks for taking the time to stop in
Talk soon

Hi

I am after a photo or info on James Gibb
Marriage to Isabella Adamson on 27 November 1840
Auchtertool, Fife, Scotland

 I have found little info on this couple, due to the fact that many researchers are confusing the name of James' wife. It is definitely Isabella.

thanks
