Scoonie Cemetery FIFE Headstone - BROWN
« on: Sunday 31 March 19 05:07 BST (UK) »
Hi

Does anyone have a clear photo of a headstone at Scoonie Cemetery for:

Alexander Mitchell BROWN               b.1835   d. (Scoonie)
Alison BROWN (nee KNOX)               b.1833   d. (Leven)
Mary BROWN (daughter)                  b.1864   d.31-12-1925 (Scoonie)
Alexander Knox BROWN (son)          b.1870   d.1955 (Scoonie)

I have seen some Inscriptions however the numbers appears incorrect eg Alison was said to have died at age 85yrs on the headstone - this should have been about 66yrs.
And according to a letter from Alexander Knox Brown, Mary died on the 31/12/1925 (buried on the 4th January at Scoonie Cemetery) not 6/12/1925

Thanks in advance

Margaret

Welcome from me too, Maggie  :)

This question has been asked before and someone posted a photo then. See www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=600597.0

Photo not great though... :-\

Thank you for your response- I've managed to get in contact with a local Scoonie resident who has been able to provide a clearer photo of the headstone and we have noticed a few errors in the original inscription.
With many thanks Margaret.

That is great news, Margaret  :)

Maybe consider posting the corrections you have found here so that anybody connected to these lines could also have these details?
