bullet  General Notes:

In an interesting twist of genalogical fate, although Alexander and Mary are not related at all, they are both related to Craig (website owner). Alexander is a 1st Cousin, 8 times removed and Mary is a 5th great-great aunt.

Alexander and Mary are buried in the Larbert Churchyard cemetery. The Monumental Inscription reads: "1793; Alex Laird & Mary Brown; (on top) no. 34"; On the east side of the same stone, son and daughter-in-law: "1827; Alex Laird; Janet Calder." In both cases the years are a mystery as Alexander Snr and Mary both died well after 1793, and son Alexander died in 1873.

Mary's brother John and his wife Helen Simpson are apparently buried in the adjacent plot.
