HEADSTONES in Kirkcaldy Cemeteries(Part 1)

[mjsmart90]

Thanks so much for looking. Yes I would love to see a copy.

As for the Allans, I only know what happened to two of their daughters -
Eliza or Betsy Allan (1865 - 1896) married Matthew Penman (1865 - 1941) He remarried after her death, to his cousin Isabella Penman.
Catherine or Kate Allan (1849 - 1913) married John Mcleod (1849 - 1919) I know that they are buried in Dysart Cemetery but I believe that either they never had a headstone or it was cleared away by the council because of the vandalism.
I don't know who the rest of the children married but they were -
henry b 1848
william b 1850
james b 1853
john hardie b 1856
david b 1857
robert b 1859
helen b 1860
george 1862 - 1862
andrew alexander b 1863 (I don't think he married)
george watters b 1867
rachel b 1869 (I don't think she married either)

Regards,

Michael

Hi Wendy no headstones for the above.

FifeFH pre 1855 death cd has Janet Kilgour ( Page)
Abbotshall & Linktown died 17.6.1847 no age
source Wills Fife Sheriff Court Sc20-51-21
may be worth checking the will

Headstone inscription from Abbotshall, could be their son James 1819

Norrie:   Thank you so very much for your response to my message about Alexander Page and Janet Kilgour Page.  You have given me some excellent information.  I have looked and looked for Janet Page the daughter of James Page 1819 and his wife Elizabeth (Betsy) Kellock.  I found Janet on the 1861 census with her father James 1819 (my gg grandfather) and his second wife Margaret Kinghorn, her step-mother (the parents of my g grandfather also James 1864).  I could not find her death in 1861 but I will look again in Scotlands People.

Alexander Page and Janet Kilgour Page had eight children that I know of:

Alexander Page bn 1801 - dd 1864  married Janet Law bn 1801

Janet Page 1802 - 1865 married Andrew Mitchell 1802-1869

Christian Page 1808 - death unknown, spouse unknown

Elizabeth 1812 - 1858 married David Gourlay 1811 - 1878

David Page 1814 death unknown, spouse unknown

John Page 1817 - 1883 married Helen Walker 1816 - 1886

James Page 1819 - 1884 at Fife & Kinross Asylum Cupar married twice 1st.  Elizabeth kellock 1822 - 1858, 2nd wife Margaret Kinghorn 1825 - 1904.   James & Margaret were my g g grandparents.

Jean/Jane Page 1825 - 1853 married William Anderson 1827 - 1885.   Both died in Australia.
 
I am very interested in obtaining more information about the parents Alexander Page and Janet Kilgour if you can help it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you again.

I all, I recently obtained a copy of the Scottish Monumental Inscriptions
for Hayfield Cemetery in Kirkcaldy the cemetery opened for burials
in 1939 and is still in use today
So I will also check that cemetery when dealing with enquires
for Kirkcaldy Cemeteries
to check this site I will still require the Male & Female names you
are looking for.
eg   John BROWN & Mary WHITE etc.

Hi Norrie,

I am requesting information with reference to my grandparents whom I believe are buried at Hayfield Cemetery. They both died when I was a small child and my father now has dementia and cannot clarify where they are laid to rest. I would be very grateful if you know if they are at hayfield andthe position of the grave so I can visit.

Grandmother: Helen steele Graham nee Morrison 6/10/1900 - 27/09/1978   (Aged 77)
They were Married 6/08/1926 in Kirkcaldy.

Hi Gboy  sorry no headstone for David Graham & Helen Morrison
Remember the Cd contains inscriptions from headstones
They could still be buried here but just no Headstone.
There is this stone could they be related to you?
