Not surprising there's less coverage in headstones than those buried in those graveyards, they were and are expensive to erect.

Thank you very much for the look up.
I'll now and go see if i can find connections to those you did find referenced.

Cheers,
Derek.

Bear in mind the pre-1855 MI book on Kinross cemeteries was written in the 1970's.
But you are correct that most folk couldn't afford a headstone.
Also lots of stones have fallen or been broken or are buried under the grass.
Then there are all the older headstones that are completely defaced and illegible.
Lawrie name in Fife (and elsewhere) with all its various spellings.
