Hi Norrie

Is there anything for two little sisters died in a week of each other? Georgina Budd Bissett and Janet Bissett died in February 1866. Janet may be named as Jessie.

Hi - Parents were Mary Budd and James Bissett.  I am not very hopeful to be honest as I doubt the family could afford a marker. The parents aren't buried there as the family moved to England shortly after the girls died

Thank you Norrie, I was hoping with the two little ones dying so young and close to each other the family may have stretched to a headstone but I guess they just couldn't afford it

Norrie, A wonderful offer...many thanks.
Could you kindly check and see if there are  the following  stones..

John Roger/Rodger and his wife Margaret Forbis/Forbes, both died c1835/6.

Also their children:
James Roger and his wife Euphan Bruce
John Roger (born poss c 1783-5
William Roger and wife Janet Carstairs.
they all appear to have died in Kilconquahar

This is a long shot..John Roger born c 1751 ...his parent were John Roger and Catherine Anderson...they could well have been born c 1727 ish.....probably no stone by now....but...you never know.
Many, many thanks for your time and assistance.
