HEADSTONES in Kirkcaldy Cemeteries(Part 1)

[NorrieG]

Over a number of years I have photographed most of the
Headstones in these Kirkcaldy Cemeteries
ABBOTSHALL, BENNOCHY,DYSART & PATHHEAD Feuars
Some of the stones are back to the mid 1800s

If you care to supply me only with the names of the
Husband & Wife eg.

   David  Dewar   Helen T Brown

I will check my index and if there is a stone I will supply you
With the Inscription and a photograph of the stone if required.

eg. 298   Helen T Brown died 8.6.1920
   Son David C Dewar Corp. 450 Canadians
   Killed in action in France 16.3.1916 age 27
   Also David Dewar husband of above
   Died 27.8.1929 age 65
   Daughter Elizabeth wife of William Borthwick          died 2.7.1934 age 50

ooooooooooh   my Sutherland lot are from up there...  Grace Himsley Sutherland born in Kirkaldy and died in Dundee.. darn it so that means she wont be buried in Kirkaldy.  But maybe other members of her Himsley family...
yep Margaret Robertson Himsley died in 1882 Kirkaldy wife of William Himsley.  And his father William Himsley died in 1875 Kirkaldy

not sure about others... Thanks xin

Hi Xinia  sorry no Himsley in the index for any of my Cemeteries,

Lots of people could just not afford headstones, times were hard then.

Thanks for your generous offer.  Coud you have a look for the following for me?

William Reid died 11/10/1842 Abbotshall aged 62.  His wife Mary Reid (nee Heggie) died 3/9/1850 Abbotshall aged 76.

Thomas Douglas Reid died Dysart 11/10/1873 aged 65 (son of the above).  His wife Euphemia Reid (nee Robertson) died 27/11/1851 age 42 at Collinsburgh, so probably not buried in Kirkcaldy.

Margaret Graham (nee Reid, daughter of Thomas and Euphemia) died 23/9/1869 Kirkcaldy aged 35.  Her husband Charles Graham died 11/3/1870 Kirkcaldy aged 41.

Many Thanks,  Yvonne
