Cheers for looking for Hugh.

Can you give me further details about Robina and Edwin please?  If she died 1992, she could well be one of mine  ;D

Thanks Norrie, this is great!  ;D

Do you think the entry for Hugh Kelly could perhaps be 1980 and not 1950?

It's just that Robina's brother was named Hugh and he died aged 55 in 1980, so I'm wondering if it could be him that's buried there?

Hi NorrieG, I know this is not in eastWemmes but have you recorded all the headstones in Newburgh and Abdie? If you have can you look up any Fairfoul/Fairfoull graves there. Thank you for the one of Peter and his family you sent me before.

Hi Norrie
                   Read messages to Pete38, we seem to have the same family tree, through John Thomson and Euphemia Burt.  Im either the line from John or his brother Thomas who was married to Mary Millie. After some more research I am of the opinion that Townsend Thomson, b 19/4/1831 in Leslie, daughter of John and Euphemia  married Thomas Scott in Leslie 16/5/1853.   I think the Jane Townsend Thomson who is down as having died in Leslie 4/8/1914 may be in fact Townsend Thomson   and her son Robert who registered the death may have somehow got the names wrong.  Thomas Thomson and Mary had a daughter Janet born 21/2/1830, but I can find no mention of her getting married.
 Anyway I see that some of the Thomson family have a connection with Wemyss. Could you check and see if Townsend is mentioned in any headstones.

Many Thanks Gerry
