Hi Sparkle.
Thanks for the response. That is my James Muir & his parents. He had emigrated to Canada & joined the Canadian forces in June 1915. While on leave from the front he married Agnes Boyd at Rutherglen,Glsgow on 1st August 1917. 14 days later he was killed in action at Lens,France.
James youngest sister Robina (Ruby) was a school teacher at Lockfoot village.Their parents Robert & Jessie Payne both died in the schoolhouse in 1936 & 37 respectively.

Hi, The details are taken from a booklet published by the Scottish Genealogy Society. There are 7 books & cover inscriptions taken from the headstones in the various churchyards & cemetery's in Kirkcudbrightshire.
If you can e-mail me I will scan the page & forward to you. I am going up to Scotland for a week in April next year to search the cemetery's again, so if you can wait a while I will get a photo for you then.

I do have some Rae's (or Rea's) in my tree but unfortunately do not link to yours. However I thought that this monumental Inscription from Rerrick cemetery may be of interest to you.

Wife Janet BELL died Auchencairn 13.9.1895 84 yrs,
Son David died Dundrennan infant.
Son Thomas died Auchencairn 31.7.1846 4yr 3 mths,
Daughter Mary Buchannan died Auchencairn 12.3.1899 51 yrs.

Hi Sparkle.

I'm new on this site and have just been looking around the posts for Kirkcudbrightshire when I saw this entry.
 
The group of graves you mention in Lockrutton cemetery  are of intrest to me. Mainly plot No 194. This relates to William Hyslop, his wife Janet Rae & some of their children.
Janet Rae is my 4th Great grand aunt on my father side of the family. It was Janet's sister Deborah that was the link to my grandmother Jessie Helen Payne Muir who was born in Lockrutton in 1895. Jessie,s brother James Muir is also commemorated on the WW1 memorial on the outside of the church.
Rgds    Matt.
