Hi Norrie,

So, I have read through both Part 1 & 2...all 47 pages. I have yet to see anyone inquire on the name Marshall. I have family looking through old paperwork looking for more info, but what I do have is.....

John Marshall: lived in Kirkcaldy as of 1930. I have his sons paperwork when he came o the U.S and John was lists as his father and his address was listed. I am assuming he was alive as of 1930.

I am working on getting dates and names of him and other family members. Any info on any Marshall in the Kirkcaldy area would be fantastic.

Finally... The work you have done and are doing is amazing!! The world needs more people like you that care about peoples pasts.

Hi just going through Marshall headstone inscriptions in Kirkcaldy won't help you very much
you need to establish who his parents were?
you can obtain his birth certificate and his parents marraige certificate
by going to http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ a pay to view site
I have many Marshal inscriptions in the Kirkcaldy area
eg this one from Dysart Cemetery
2235   In Memory of John son of John & Jessie Marshall
   who died as the reslt of an accident 23.4.1931 age16
   above John MARSHALL died 30.1.1964 age 75
   above Jessie MARSHALL died 23.3.1967 age 83
   daughter Annie Marshall died 9.4.1991 age 78
   wife of David Falconer
 lets have further information so I can do more checks

Thank you for the info. I have a family member looking for the "old family bible" that has births, deaths, marriages, etc.

I was curious if there were even any Marshalls burried around there or not.

I'll be in touch. Thanks again!

What a wonderful resource you've built here Norrie, and I hope you may be able to help locate graves for some visitors from Canada who will be with me here in Fife on the 12th of August for the day.
Maureen and Linda Dodd are travelling over from Toronto and hope to find some relatives graves, and I've traced a few, but I'm stuck on the following;

Three Skinner family members died during the typhus outbreak in 1871, all are given as died in Sinclairtown Parish, and all were born in 'Muchty.
John Skinner was 71 years old, died January 7th
John Skinner junior was 49 years old, died January 10th
Janet Skinner was 49 years old, died January 17th

Joseph Logan Skinner was 39 years old, died 1836 January 23rd in Strathmiglo and I think I might need to go there and simply look around as I can't see any records for there.

if you can help I'll be very grateful, and maybe if we can find the gravestones you could come along and meet our Canadian visitors?

Many thanks for a comprehensive reply Norrie!
What a shame they've not turned up, but given the typhus outbreak is it possible that they may have been buried at Nether Street, which would have been next door to the old Infirmary at the foot of St Clair Street?
The cemetery folk have no records for there, once called Ravenscraig Cemetery I think, and wherein lies another connection of the Skinner's.

Sheila in Canada may be along to post to help out with this search; it's her mum Maureen and sister Lin who will be here on Monday.

[Jake Drummond]

A stab in the dark here Norrie, but there are some 'connections' buried in East Wemyss Cemetery. Do you have any records for there?
