Hi Mark,

Yes, it appears we're related somewhat...

Andrew (b.1849) is my GG Grandfather and I do have info on him.

However, anything else you have on the extended family would be greatly appreciated, and if I can fill in any holes for yourself I'll happily assist.

Andrews daughter (my G Grandmother - Margaret Methven Gillan) was also buried at the Eastern Cemetery. I managed to obtain the plot/lair details from the Council, but likewise, no marker stone. numbers.

Regards,

Dougie.

PS. I have a couple of photo's of Margaret if they would be of interest to you...

Thanks for trying for me...

I appreciate that many were buried without headstones, or that stones could have become damaged over time.

Thanks again.

Fife / Headstone - Carnbee
« on: Sunday 18 October 15 16:08 BST (UK)  »
Wonder if anyone can help me out as I can't see me getting back to "The Kingdom" for a few weeks...

My GGGG Grandfather was Thomas ROBERSTON, b.1792.

He died as a result of injuries sustained when involved in an accident with a Threshing Machine on his farm at Knights Ward, Carnbee in 1873. He was 80 years old when this occurred.

I'm assuming he was buried at Carnbee, rather than Abdie where he was born...

Anyone with MI's for the area, or available for a quick visit...?

Dougie.

Many thanks for that Blemdookie...

The Margaret Ann Cadden you found is certainly my Gt.Grandmother, but her father was born around 1841 to William Cadden.

I'll try digging a bit more.

Dougie.

Fermanagh / Margaret Ann Cadden
« on: Saturday 12 September 15 18:59 BST (UK)  »
Hoping someone can assist in helping me with info. on the above person, my Great Great Grandmother.

She was born, possibly in Fermanagh, in 1881 or thereabouts to Thomas Cadden and Isabella Morrison. (Married 2 July 1880 in Drumcor, Enniskillen)

In 1904 she gave birth to Charlotte Cadden at Irvinestown, and then in 1906 to Margaret Cadden at Trillick - both to different fathers.

The next record I have of her is her marriage in 1920 in Fife, Scotland. Both her daughters above moved over with her, as did her father latterly along with some siblings.

Anything available of her earlier years in Ireland would be greatly appreciated...

Dougie.

Fife / Re: Orange Lodge in Levenmouth...???
« on: Friday 11 September 15 17:56 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Jennifer & Annie...

I've had it fairly well confirmed as being an image of an Orange Lodge funeral, likely of a female member...

My difficulty now is trying to confirm if it is that of my Great Grandmother...

On-line Newspapers aren't throwing anything obvious up, so I'll maybe see if the central library have copies of newspapers from then to check...unfortunately, her headstone is also missing from the cemetery.

Fife / Orange Lodge in Levenmouth...???
« on: Thursday 10 September 15 18:33 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I have a couple of questions...

I am reliably advised that my Great Grandmother (Margaret Ann Cadden or Leggett), who came from Ireland, was a staunch member of the Orange Lodge. She died in 1937 in Leven and was apparently given an Orange send off.

I am also "reliably" advised that the attached photo is of her funeral...

Question 1: Was there ever an Orange Lodge in Levenmouth (I can only recall there being a Masonic one).

Question 2: Does the attached photo show an Orange Lodge procession, or a Masonic one...???

Dougie.

Hello Dougie,
     I believe it means Ebenzer gifted the sum of £1 7s (One pound, Seven shillings) for the poor of the parish when he married.
               Regards,     Dod.

Thanks Dod...makes some sense...just a shame his Spouses name wasn't included...:-(
