Yes.  My GG Grandmother was Christian Williamson died 31 August 1836.  There were several other children including a James jnr.  Christian Williamson and her brother James Williamson are  listed as being buried in Kirkcaldy Cemetery.  People have stated that James my ggg grandfather had several wives but I can not link them so he could be buried with another.  My interest is in my ggg grandfather James and Christian his daughter my gg grandmother.

I was told that before you left Scotland in the 1830's you had to get permission.  Is this true and if so where would the register of the people be kept please.  Thankyou

Christian Williamson was married to Robert Cock who was a wright/turner in Pathhead.  Robert left Scotland so is not buried their.  Christian's birth mother was Margaret Philip.   I was told James Williamson remarried but have no proven link.  James Williamson jnr is buried their 1824 he was married to Elizabeth Whyte who died 1827.  I was hoping their was a family plot so that it would be easy to link.

James Williamson was a very wealthy man so it is my belief that the headstone should be substantial.

Also would love further details on Christian Williamson, wife of Robert Cock who died in 1836. Her birth year might confirm if she is indeed the daughter of James Williamson senior and Margaret PHILPS (it is the mother we haven't confirmed but probability is increasing). Still trying to find the death/burial of this lady somewhere in Fife 1793-1821. Would love a list of all Marg. Philp/Williamson burials in Fife. One has to match! How we love unusual names in genealogy and don't like common ones!

Are there no more details either on the James Williamson senior and then junior and his wife Eliz. Whyte/White?
Posted by Mixedupmob in June, you should get in touch with this person
I am looking for anyone researching the following Williamson family:
James b. 1811
Alexander b. 1814
John b. 1818
Thomas b. 1820
All were born in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland, the children of James Williamson and Elizabeth Whyte. They all arrived in Tasmania on board the Dunmore which left Leith on 19 July 1830 and arrived in Hobart Town on 28 February 1831. Their sister Janet was also on board with them but I think I have discovered what happened to her - waiting on a death transcript to confirm my theory.
I would really like to know what happened to the boys and so far have not had any luck in my search.

You mean to say that you can not locate a grave headstone for James Williamson buried Kirkcaldy cemetery in March 1832.  Can you please give me a list of people by that name buried their in that year.  The reason I posted this because I have seen many request.
