Nipped over to Lochgelly today and saw Walter's gravestone also I managed to find John Geddes and his wife Henrietta Naysmith there too.

For others who may be tracing this family, It reads

In loving memory of John Geddes
who died 12 Dec 1952
aged 65 years
beloved husband of
Henrietta Naysmith
who died 27th March  1981
aged 87 years

I also got a picture of the war memorial in Lochgelly which has Pte Robert Geddes, who was John's younger brother.  He died 20th March 1918 In Egypt.

Thanks again Norrie

892   Walter GEDDES died 13.4.1970 age 72
   wife Jeanie Laing died 17.5.1989 age 85?

Have checked my records and think this may be one of mine.

Many thanks again!

I am looking for GEDDES surname, specifically Robert Geddes and his second wife Minnie Darling.  Robert died in 1937 Minnie in 1910.  Robert died in Dunfermline but lived at Melville Street, Lochgelly.

Also Robert's eldest son John Geddes who married 1916 to Henrietta Naysmith.  Another son Robert Geddes died in Egypt during ww1 and is mentioned on war memorial.

Many thanks

I am wondering whether anyone can do a 1911 census look-up for George Collie and his son Edward Collie aged 3 or 4

Thanks
