Hi

I will possibly look to visit the cemetery but if you have any info on this it would be really appreciated.

Thanks
? What were the wives names I did see 2 female Stanley headstone but I was looking for
Alexander. I have an up to date list of headstones in Hayfield Cemetery

Hi

That's great you see them, the wives were called Marion and Daisy, and there also was a child called Esther stanley, which was his daughter.

If you have these pictures that would be great also.  If you manage to see an Alexander that would be great.

Do you know if they do cremations there or if there is a memorial book we could visit and see.

Thanks for this, so much.

Thank you for this. It puts a bit of a spanner in the works as we seem to have paperwork that shows dates almost a year out for both.

Is it unusual for this to happen as we have Esther passing away at 2 months but in 1955 along with Marion also passing in 1955. It's not actual death certificates though it's like registers of deaths.

Confused now.

Hi Norrie, I think I can claim all of these as being in our McMahon Tree.  Would it be possible to get pictures.  Thank you. Avril

I am looking for the graves of relatives with the name of Bruce whose graves are in Kirkcaldy although I do not know which graveyard.
Robert Bruce: 11/2/1871 & wife Isabella (nee Arthur) May, 1844.
Also daughter, Jean who died as a baby 1829, and a second daughter Isabella, date unknown.
Parents of Robert Bruce could be there too who died c.1824 and wife Margaret Bruce (nee Duff)
Regards and thanks for any help provided or suggestions made
