I have a Ann Campbell nee Grubb, married to Murdoch Campbell. I know she was buried in the burial ground of Largo in 1856 (but she was listed as a pauper in 1851 so may not have got a headstone).

Hi Anthornis   sorry nothing on my index
But the Fife Family history pre 1855 deaths Cd gives these

In Largo Bonnyton date of burial 2.4.1804
Still born child of Murdoch Campbell ( servant )

Murdoch Campbell Largo Pilmuir
Died 26.6.1848 buried 30.6.1848

there is an Ann Grubb Who died  in Largo,Little Pilmuir
16.5.1856 age 78 but she is listed as being
the wife of an Alexander Wallace
and given as daughter of David Grubb & Christian Morgan

If they were buried in Common ground you were not allowed stones
I will see if I can find anything else

Oh, that's great (and very sad), I hadn't found any reference to a stillborn child, but the places are spot on for this family as well.

I've got her death certificate (post 1855) which does list her as a Campbell at death, and I do have a marriage record for her and Murdoch in 1799. The parents match the Ann Grubb you list.

Thanks for taking the time to look it up for me though - another little bit of information added in, and a bit of a mystery too!

Well we're distantly related then - Ann was my 5g grandmother! One of Ann's children was named Alison - presumably after her sister!

By chance do you have anything on this woman?

Isabella Pryde (never married)
b. 1857/8 in Ceres
d. 3/3/1953 in Buckhaven

I ask in this forum because she spent most of her life in Woodside, Largo.  I have been unable to determine where she was buried.

on their names.
The next time Iam at the library will check local

I really appreciate the offer, Norrie.  Being in the USA, I can't just run down to the library.

  Isabella's parents were Robert Pride/Pryde and Mary Doig.  I am aware that Robert and Mary were recently mentioned here and I am in touch with that poster (we share Robert & Mary).  However, I don't believe he has anything on Isabella's burial as he went down a different line from there.

  Long story short, she gave birth to three illegitimate sons between 1877 and 1886 (one of whom was my grandfather) and then remained in Woodside as housekeeper to her father at least through the 1901 census.  She died at Methilhaven on 3/3/1953 but Fife Council personnel have not been able to help with her burial.
