MIs in DUNFERMLINE Lays Road Cemetery

[NorrieG]

Hello Norrie

Would you happen to have any details on a James Murie Chalmers died 1911 aged 8 months.

Thank you for the Galloway's, sadly not mine.

Many Thanks

Hi Moo my index is based on the main names on the headstone that would have been the parents
Who were they ?

Hi Norrie,

I know his parents were David Chalmers and Marion Campbell but he is not buried with them, James appears to have been the first Chalmers who died in Dunfermline from the family, everyone else died 30 - 40 years later. The only other surname possible is Wilson or Hoggan, but I think it would be unlikely, and mostly likely in the old grounds.

Thank you for looking Norrie, it's very much appreciated.

I'm trying to trace the grave of a James Hunter date of death 8 April 1874 and the place was Wellwood Colliery. His parents were David and Margaret Hunter. Just wondering if you'd be able to trace anything for him as Lays Road cemetery

Hi Norrie

Can you find any trace of a John and Janet Gillies nee Thomson?
The last address I can find is in the 1871 census at 158 Campbell Street, John 65 and Janet 61.
I think John may have died in Dunfermline in 1884 aged 88 and Janet in 1884 aged 76.

Many thanks
G

hello rindercella

Sorry this is late to the thread.

I am a REID from NZ and my 4th GG'mother is also Margaret Crawford.

I can help you with the Australia / NZ decedents of Margaret Crawford's grandson John Ross Reid if you are interested.  I am interested in tracing the Dunfermline Reid line back and also discovering if any Reids from that line are still in Dunfermline.  At the moment I am stuck on John Reid b 4 May 1749.  Some sites give his father as William Reid b 22 August 1723 but I am not confident.
