South Africa / Agnes Paterson -- is she mine ?
« on: Monday 30 January 23 11:57 GMT (UK)  »

Family rumour has it that Agnes Paterson born 1869  Stoneykirk Wigtownshire left around 1890 and went to South Africa.
I have her until 1888 when she was bridesmaid at her sister Janet's wedding
On family search there is a marriage for an Agnes Paterson to a James Hastie on 2nd July 1895 in South Africa.
James died  aged 51 on 1st July 1915 in Durban
Agnes  died aged 81  there also on 10 March  1951  and is buried in Stellawood Cemetery .
Are there any other sources which might  help me prove that this is the  Agnes I am trying to find ?
Thanks

Fife / Anne Wemyss ms. Valentine
« on: Tuesday 29 December 20 15:08 GMT (UK)  »

I am hoping someone can help me find where Anne is buried or her obituary .
 All I know is that the cemetery is somewhere near Dunfermline as I visited it as a child .

Anne died on 17Th June 1948 at 15 Kirkgate Dunfermilne  which was her home address .  Her husband James Wemyss was the manager of The Abbey Public House and I believe this is where she died .
James did remarry and died many years later .
I have contacted several places in Fife trying to get this information including their bereavement services but they have never ever replied to my requests.
