If you are looking for earlier burials at Boyndie, search for "Transcripts of all the Monumental Inscriptions in the Churchyard of Boyndie" and you will find a list produced by a local schoolmaster in 1885.
I'm afraid I have completely failed to find this online, or the similar one that used to be online with the Banff Old Kirkyard MIs.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I have just looked and a transcript of the volumes is to be found for Rathven, Deskford, Cullen, Boyndie and Enzie Braes here:

Sorry for my late reply.

That's correct in that I am looking for names/dates.

GR2 thank you for the link, will check it out.

As GR2 said, a transcription of Boyndie MIs is here - http://charlesflett.co.uk/BoyndieMI.htm
This website deserves much much wider recognition.
Margaret Shand also transcribed them - I have her version too.
I haven't compared the two transcriptions.

Years ago Douglas Taylor in Canada did the same for Banff - I have his version. I think it could still be deep in Rootswebs Archive for Banffshire way back in 1999 or 2000 (if they're still available).
But this is a link to Cramond's book, a free eBook - http://tinyurl.com/kfwr2vb - the MIs start on page 295.
