Hi Norrie,
              I am interested in finding in the final resting place of John Barr (12th April 1902) and Elizabeth Young (4th Dec 1907). I would appreciate any information you can provide.
                                         Thanks. BB

Appologies in advance- I am very new to this message board thing.

I have been trying to track down ancestors of mine and you seem to be a beacon of light-

Hoping you can find a Samuel Fitzsimmons (surname spelling may vary) born around 1853 in Ireland and died 1924 in Lochgelly, husband of Agnes McCreadie.

Thank you for any help you can offer.
