I have over 1000  headstone photographs, from LOCHGELLY Cemetery ... PEARSON ...

Hi Norrie

Could you check the PEARSON names in your records please?  My Granny Janet Lundie Pearson was born in Glencraig, Auchterderran.  Her parents were Alexander Pearson and Elizabeth Lundie Pearson ... that's correct - PEARSON/PEARSON :o  It's caused no end of confusion in my research ::)

Cheers

Aye mair questions than answers in a world where the past was a different place - that cannae be revisited!

Family surnames being researched ...
Crawford, Neilson, Lindsay, Reekie, Davidson
Drummond, Laing, Pearson, Tulloch ... will do for starters but there's a whole lot more!

Thanks Norrie and sorry for not replying sooner!

I don't think there's a Pearson connection there, but I'll look a bit deeper!

As for the Lundie name ... they're connected to the Lairds of Strathairly near Leven!  One of the son's of the 10th Laird fathered an illegitimate son to one of the maids and he passed the name down through Granny's line via the Marr name.  It's been a complex search ::)

I've got a copy of an interesting book (available in paperback):
"History of the Clan Lundy, Lundie, Lundin: One of the Most Ancient Families of the Kingdom of Scotland: A History and Genealogy from the 11th Century to the Present Day" by Robert Alan Lundie Smith.

Thanks again for you help :)
