HEADSTONES in Kirkcaldy Cemeteries(Part 2)

[NorrieG]

Hi Norrie, 

I'm looking for any Gilmour (Gilmer etc) headstones in Kirkcaldy, more likely Dysart please. Have you noticed anything on your travels? Nothing specific, though the older the better (1800s). I was going to head down but it would save me a journey.

My research is fairly complete, hence not looking for anything specific. It may help tie some loose ends or reveal unknown people that I am unaware of. Doesn't need to be a Gilmour headstone. The wife could be one someone else headstone.

The proximity could be important with related people in the next bed or side of larger stones - though I could do this myself if there's anything.

I've had a look on FindAGrave site and nothing really comes up for Gilmour of Kirkcaldy area even though there were many circa 1700-1900, more so Dysart area. (Helen Gilmour / David Nelson on that site of Abbotshall is no connection. Believe she was Dunfermline or outside Fife).

I am aware of Gilmour's in particular Burntisland and Markinch but these are a different tribe. Everything seems very concentrated to each area. There is nothing as of yet to connect them. If would go back before the 1700s if it did.

Hello Norrie,

It's been a wee while since I last contacted you and I'm hoping you can help me again with a couple of queries.

The first one I'm looking for is the gravestone of Katharine Thomson, wife of Alexander Dewar, buried in Abbotshall Cemetery 1792.

The second is any gravestones for the Tilloch family in Torryburn Cemetery.

Kind regards,
Jack

Hi Norrie

This discussion string is looking like an epic.

Would you have anything on Alexander Johnstone Thomson (my great grandfather) born in 1867.  The rest of his family emigrated to New Zealand but I understand he stayed in Kirkcaldy and we lost track of him.

Regards

Hugh Wilson

Hi,

I’m looking for Janet Cosgrove (nee Walker or Lindsay) b 3 December 1914 d 1 December 1952. She died in Kirkcaldy so assume she would be buried there.

I have contacted Kirkcaldy cemetery and am awaiting on their checks.

Also, I would like to try to find the burial location of Patrick and Jean Cosgrove (nee McAllister) - both died in Kinghorn.

Can anyone help?
