101 Hello Fife!looking for
information connecting the Numbers/Numes surname to Wemyss.
As Eoin Mor nan Uamh(ais) Mac Dubh is listed as a principal
ancester of Clan Wemyss (nan Uamhais ->
n'Uamhais-->Nuam(h)ais or something to that effect), I
think it may be possible that Numes arose as an alternative
and was perhaps anglicized to Numbers. I do have documents
connecting Numes to Numbers.glad to share anything that I
have on the name, and looking very much forward to hearing
from you!Tapaidh libh. Sile

Landsey 111 Just discovered Robert Cairns
b.1855 Wemyss/Buckhaven is not my GGGrandfather. I have this
1855 birth cert. if anyone wants details. From the 1871
marriage cert of Robert Cairns and Jane Wilson I now know
that my GGGGrandparents were Alexander Cairns and Mary
Whyte/White of Wemyss. Mary was daughter of Robert
Whyte/White and Mary Shaw of Wemyss. Alexander I believe is
son of James Cairns and Isobel Greig but not proved for
definite. This means Robert b.1955 son of Robert Cairns and
Margaret Wishart is a possible first cousin to the correct
Robert. And I still don't know where Granny Jean Hastie
Peter born Innerleven 1788 but living with Robert and Jane
Wilson Cairns in Wemyss on the 1881 census fits in. Anyone
got any connections. This Jean Hastie Peter cannot be found
on birth or deaths OPR or post 1855 fitting the 1788 birth
date. There is a Jean Hastie Peter married to James Peter in
1810 who had lots of children in Wemyss, but that marriage
does not fit agewise with anything. Any one else got Jean
Hastie Peter from Wemyss area in their notes. Thank You.
Kath
Newton 112 Hi- My name is Katie. I am
searching for information on my Paternal Grandmother, Mary
Robertson, daughter of John and Clara Robertson of
Cowdenbeath, Fife, Scotland. I have always been drawn to the
Scottish ancestry of my Grandmother, because of the beauty
and rich history of the country of Scotland, but also
because I was never able to know my Grandmother, or sadly,
any members of her immediate family. I guess, like us all I
am searching for my coordinates on this earth; what better
place to begin than Scotland? Katherine
Sidman 113 I am fairly new to the net and
am having a great time looking for ancestors. Can't believe
no-one seems to be researching my Inglises. They came from
around Cupar, and some were tenants of Russells Mill,
Springfield, in the 17th and 18th centuries. Other Inglises
I'd like to trace married into the following families:
Anderson, Scott, Birrell, Black, Buist, Simson, Tod, Cuthill
and Fletcher. Evelyn

Anna(Jeannie)BALLINGAL(L) Robert IMRIE born 1753 married to
Rachel BUIST. Elizabeth ARNOT(T) married 1822 to Andrew
Greig FLEMING (1793-1879). I believe Elizabeth to be
Sandford ARNOT(T)'sdaughter but have found no primary
evidence. Jane IMRIE married 1839 to Alexander FLEMING
(1803-1887). I believe Jane to be the daughter of David
IMRIE above but have no primary evidence yet.
