Offer: Headstones In Largo & Kilconquhar Cemeteries

[NorrieG]

look for my 3rd great grandparents - Robert Black and Margaret Brown.  He was born in Ceres abt 1784 and she was born in Largo in 1790.  They were married in Ceres in 1809.  I can find no record of their deaths as their names are very common.

Hi Bfw  sorry nothing on Index
on Igi see they had only 1 child Euphenia 
nothing on her also. also checked pre 1855 deaths on
Fife Family Soc. index nothing.

Hi Norrie
I was wondering if there is a gravestone in Kilconquhar for WILLIAM BROWN b. 1782 and MARGARET FINLAY, b. 1776  both born in Kilconquhar and who married there in 1800?

Hi Jen sorry nothing for William & Margaret. I see they had 8 Children between 1800 & 1819, who die the children Marry
as parents are often attached to their stones.

If you know I  can check index for them

Hi Norrie
The family seem to have moved elsewhere in Fife!, the only marriages I have for their children is their son William who married Agnes Kinnear in Dairsie 1826 and my ancestors their son Peter Brown who married Barbara Gourlay also in 1826 but in Monimail....looks like a  'dead end ' sorry for the pun.  Many thanks though for your really quick reply.  You're doing a great job.
Warm Regards from Jenc

Hi Norrie

A friend has just mentioned that there's a rather grand TULLOCH headstone in Kilconquhar erected by Isabella Durkie Currie in Memory of her Mother - Isabella Durkie Tulloch 1839-1910, Father - John Currie 1842-1888 and Brother - Robert Tulloch Currie 1874-1888.  Robert died 9 days after his father - both from Diphtheria!

If you have an image could you post it here please?

I'm on a roll at the moment Norrie!

Could you check your index for two possible Kilconquhar burials, please?

     John Gatherum 13 Sep 1791 (New Gilston) - 21 Jun 1871 and his wife
     Elizabeth Wales or Wyles 6 Apr 1788 (E. Wemyss) - 15 Dec 1871

Their deaths are recorded as Kilconquhar so there's a strong possibility they were interred there.  Posting a headstone image and/or inscription here may help others too!
