It's defeated me and my photo fixing software :s If no one else has any luck, could you maybe go back and take another photo, this time cropping the top of the stone out and also with a flash?
I find that makes it easier when I'm trying to get faint inscriptions to show up. The only definite one I can see here is the first name "William"  Sorry!

Is that with the Duff family?

Yes

That's our second best idea. at least we know we weren't just missing something obvious, I suppose

Baggygenes - she's one of the three I got baptism records for, I thought it would be best to assume she had her parents names correct before trying to make others fit :S

flst - I've just had a look, that tree didn't come up in my searches before for some reason! Annoyingly it seems they have eluded the tree owner re the censuses too :s I'll have a look too, as these seem the most liekly couple if the parents names are right.
Sancti - 1) We don't know 2) We don't know 3)We don't know for sure, but think not, people think the sister went out earlier but aren't sure who this was 4)It was in her obituary, and as far as I know, her marraige cert. (She got married in America)
If I had the answers to those this would be so much easier :S

Hello, after having a great success with a brick wall in my own tree, with the help of lovely rootschat people -  I'm now looking for help with a friend's brick wall!

She has a Catherine (aka Cassie) Anderson, born 31st March 1889, who she believes went to America in 1902 - 1908. catherine always maintained that her parents were Elizabeth Armstrong and John Anderson, and that she came from Dundee.

However the most likely marriage is 1879
LEITH SOUTH
EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN
692/02 0017

Although I haven't had a look at the image (no credits and no money! :p)
Also, 3 births for Catherine Anderson 1n 1888, 1889 and 1887 in Dundee all proved to have the 'wrong' parents, although of course we only have what she said were her parents to go on.

In regard to census records, the only Catherine that fits is with a family living in Glasgow, and then possibly with the Duff's for 1901. But again, this is just names, nothing else fits.

There was aso possibly a sister who also went to America, but no one ever seems to have met her or have a name for her.

Sorry there's not much to go on! If someone could look up some more births around Edinburgh for me though that would be great, as if that IS the only viable marriage then that seems the best place to start.

As always, any help at all appreciated Thank you!

I've had this where the break between households has not been 'inputted' into the transcription/system - I just changed the names of the children and put a note on the tree saying the others weren't part of the family! :p
