Hi,
If anyone has the Kinross-shire burials book could they have a wee look for a John Miller and Mary Drummond please?
I know they were married in 1800 in Fossoway & Tullibole, they had their last child (as far as I can tell) in 1807. So possibly born around 1780ish and definitely died before 1855.
Ta'
Derek.
btw, this must be one of the least visited boards on the whole website.
Was it that sparsely populated? If anyone has Kinross-shire ancestors mine are Miller, Drummond, Gray, Dick and Honyman.

Hi, Derek,
I do agree about the least visited board, but I live in hope of finding long-lost relations.
My g.g.g.grandmother was also a Mary Drummond but she married John Bruce in 1802. I believe she was the daughter of John Drummond and Margaret Paterson. The Drummonds appear to have originated in Kinross and moved to Markinch before Mary's marriage. Don't know if this is of any interest to you.
Regards,
Old Scoonie

Hello Derek,
I would have to agree with you, and it's a great pity. I see you mentioned the Dick family and the Honeyman family. Those names appear in my Family Tree, but the Dick family that I have, lived around Bannockburn, Stirlingshire and married into the Cooper's.
There would have to be quite a few of my "rellie's" laid to rest in Kinross, but I wouldn't have a clue where to start! Many of my family still live just over Benarty Hill from Loch Leven - what a breath-taking place that is.
My best wishes to you.
Tom.

Hi DennyDescendant and Old Scoonie,
Did you ever get any joy from your queries?
Kinross is certainly nor a popular board :'(
My children's paternal Gggggpa was close by - in Kelty, Beath, Fife in 1847 - but mail came via Blairadam which was in Kinross-shire.
Regards,
JAP

Hi. Jap,
No, nothing. Thanks for your interest. I'm still trying to find further information about my 4xg.grandmother, Janet Curror(or Currer)
born Cleish.
Regards,
Old Scoonie.

hello could not help noticing this board too. My great grandmother Janet YOUNG, some of her siblings and all of her 4 illigitimate children were born at Orwell or thereabouts in the late 1800's. I visited my greatgrandmother often in Milnathort as a child. She lived to be 90 from 1859 to 1949.
I now live in Canada and am trying to get on with the Family Tree from here.
Great reading all the messages.
My mother came from Kelty, FOTHERINGHAM was there name. Her father was from Clackmannan.
thanks for reading

One Grave in Crook of Devon Miller 97
One Grave in Old Fossoway Miller 16
This is probably of no interest but there are Millers in the transcript of the 1662
assize of the Witch Covin at the Crook of Devon.

Hi there - I notice you mentioned the surname FOTHERINGHAM - can you get in touch so that we can see if any of your ancestors married into the Thomson family from Aberlady, East Lothian?
