Gravestone? for Margaret Webster 1785 - 1858 Kirkcaldy Church Yard

[markw78]

Hello
Margaret Sellars (maiden name) Webster was my great x 3 grandmother who past away in 1858. She was buried at Kirkcaldy Church Yard by Andrew Carmichael Undertakers.

Would any members happen to know if there is a headstone for her at all? 

I have tried internet searches but never been able to find any listing. Informant on DC was a Colin McPherson Son in Law 523 ? Kirkcaldy 1861 Census.


Hope some can help,
Regards

Hi markw,

Margaret Sellars happens to be my 5 x great grandmother. I am descended via her daughter Agnes Webster and son-in-law Colin McPherson.
They lived at 521 High Street, Kirkcaldy on the 1861 census.

I don't live that far from Kirkcaldy, if I am ever there I shall be sure to visit the Church Yard and see if there is a headstone.

Do you know any more about her?

Regards,

Joe
