I have a list of the above MI's. If anyone needs anything looking up please let me know. I do not have photos or access to either place, just an old list of the names and dates.

Hi Elaine

Wonder if you can help.  On visit to Scotland last week visited Auchterderran Churchyard looking for family.  Churchyard really old and most of headstones broken or unreadable.  Am looking for Abercrombies (James died 1850s) plus Isabelle his sister (1861?) also Browns (David and Margaret (Mary).  Would you also have Moyes and Weymss.

Any help would be appreciated


Regards Helen

Hi Elaine


Many Many thanks for the info on Auchterderran M.I.'s.  Alexander Abercrombie and Catherine Moyes were my g.g.g.g.g grandparents.  I am sure that some of the Wemyss mentioned must also by relatives (I will keep digging).  I would be grateful for the sketch of the locations of the graves - I have taken photo's of the churchyard so it would be good to see if I can place them.  I am new to "Roots Chat" so don't know the formula needed to receive scans - help needed.  Will now need to find out if someone out there  has M.I's post 1855 as I know that other family members are buried there.



Regards

When I saw Abercrombie and Moyes together I figured they were probably yours! So glad to have helped. It is difficult to post photo etc on here. I have a Moyes photo from 1937 that I tried to attach yesterday but it wasn't allowed because of size even though I resized it twice. So I gave up. I'm also not allowed to post my email address in this message. So click on my name and send me a private message with your own email and I will send you the grave plots and any photos I can find. Let me know a brief history of your family in Auchterderran, ie when they lived there and if there are any left still living there. I have 100's of old photos of the ABC parishes and it's people.
