Members are reminded about The Fife Family History Fair, to be hosted by The Fife Family History Society and to be held at the Carnegie Conference Centre in Dunfermline on Saturday, 8 October. You will find more information about the Fair, Speakers, and Stallholders, in our Editorial on p2, and also in the Centre Pages, on Pp 32-34. A Delegate`s Booking Form has been enclosed with this Journal. 1 EDITORIAL JOURNAL. We are sorry for the late publication of the Journal. This is due to the Editor waiting for all the latest news to be collected on the Fife Family History Fair to be held by the Society at the Carnegie Conference Centre in Dunfermline on Saturday, 8 October. FIFE FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY FAIR. As stated above The Fife Family History Society will be holding a Family History Fair on the 8th October in the Carnegie Conference Centre in Dunfermline. Enclosed with this Journal you will find a Delegate’s Booking Form, and in the centre pages you will find a list of Guest Speakers (with information on them and their talks), and a list of stallholders who have so far booked. We are pleased to announce that Mr Robert Watt, a member of our Society, will be coming from Canada as one of our guest speakers. Mr Watt was Chief Herald of Canada from 1988 to 2007, since when he has held the title of Rideau Herald Emeritus of the Canadian Heraldic Authority. He was one of the Guest Speakers at the International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Science held in St Andrews in 2006. CUPAR LIBRARY. Our Family History books and manuscripts, currently in Methil Library will be transferred in the next few weeks to Cupar Library, where we have been given a room. Packing will take place on the 6th August and the Society will announce when the room is up and running. Our stock of OPR and Census microfilms, and also microfiche, will remain at Methil Library, and thus there is still the opportunity at Methil to undertake family history research. Once the transfer is complete, our room in Cupar Library will be manned two or three days a week by Fife FHS volunteers to give help and advice to those researching their family history. Cupar is more central than Methil, has good transport links, and also the Library there has a really good card index to the local newspapers. It also has files of the Fife Herald and the Fifeshire Journal which covered the whole of Fife, and also of the East of Fife Record (1856-1917) and the East Fife Observer (1914-1967), which covered the East of Fife. McLAY/McLEAN FAMILY GATHERING. On 6th August the McLay/McLean of Fife group will be holding their biannual gathering at the Lochgelly Centre between the hours of 12 and 2pm. All who are interested are invited to attend, especially those who may have McLean or McLay in their ancestry. Light refreshments. No cost. Contacts: Alicia Horne McLean and William McLean. Relatives will be attending from Canada, USA, Germany, Australia, and of course, Scotland. Further information on the Facebook page of The Fife Family History Society website. 2 The Funkie Family in Fife By Sanda Collins I always had an interest in my ancestors and loved to hear stories about them My 3 x Great Grandfather was Francis (Frank) Joseph Funkie (1798-1874), - married to Janet Keddie (1795-1872) - who was born/baptised at Wemyss, 6/10 April 1798, son of Christopher Funkie, gamekeeper (also described as footman, to Colonel Wemyss of Wemyss Castle), and Euphan Fowler. This Christopher Funkie is a mysterious character. According to one report, he was of German origin, born in about 1775 in Westfalen, Prussia, the son of Franciscum Funkie and Sybilliam Funkie (nee Weller). According to family tradition he was a ship`s lad when he was shipwrecked off Prestonpans, made it safely to shore, and never left. It is assumed that he came to shore in East Lothian. “All the Funkies in Scotland are descended from this one man.” The first were born in the Lothian area, and from there made their way into Fife. The story was carried down from generation to generation, and even as late as the 1960s older members of the family were still speaking of this shipwrecked German sailor. BUT, according to another family tradition, he came to Scotland with an officer who had connections with Wemyss Castle. From the birth details of his son this officer would appear to be Colonel (later General) William Wemyss of Wemyss (1760-1822). Family tradition also has it that he helped a Wemyss officer in the Peninsular Wars. This officer would be the latter`s son, also General William Wemyss (1790-1852), who, although serving to the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders (which did not fight in the Peninsular campaign) served as a staff officer (ADC) to Sir William Erskine of Torrie, and was at the Battle of Fuentes d’Onor (5 May 1811), for which he was awarded the Military General Service Medal, with clasp. It was not unusual for servants to accompany their masters into battle. M F Conolly in his Addenda to his Eminent Men of Fife in his “Fifiana” (1869), has a biographical notice on David Balfour Hay (1780-1868) of Leys and Randerston, who served in the Army under the Duke of York, and was wounded in an engagement in Holland, “and only saved by being carried off the field of battle by his servant, who came home with him and continued in his service” Christefer Funkie was married to Euphan/Effie Fowler, who, according to one report was born at Prestonpans on 26 April 1761. From the births of his children we know that he was firstly in Haddington, before moving to Fife. He had the following recorded children. [1] Mary Funkie; born Haddington, 15 July 1789; married Kettle, 15 May 1820, James Tod, son of James Todd and Elizabeth Henderson, who were married in Kettle in 1762; died Balmalcolm, 28 June 1865 aged 77 3 [2] Anna Christina Funkie (or Fonchie, as she is noted in the record); born Haddington, 9 Sep 1793. Single, she died at West Wemyss on 25 July 1857 aged 65, and was buried in West Wemyss Churchard. [3] Francis (Frank) Joseph Funkie; born/baptised Wemyss, 6/10 April 1798; married Wemyss, 26 July 1822, Janet Keddie, dau of Robert Keddie, coal manager, and Janet Adamson; died East Wemyss, 26 Jan 1874); [4] Chrisopher Funkie, born/baptised West Wemyss, 24 April/5 May 1800; m 1826, Margaret Scott; died Leven, 28 March 1864. The birth of Christopher Funkie, on 15 July 1823, son of Frank Funkie, gamekeeper at Wemyss Castle, and Janet Keddie, suggests by the designation of the father that the first Christopher Funkie was then dead. From the obituary of Francis (Frank) Funkie in a local newspaper we are told that “regarding his ancestors many a stirring tale might be told, none more so than that attending the death of his father [Christopher Funkie], who was unhappily shot in Glasgow when wearing the uniform of his master, a military officer, who was held in low estimation by the Regiment to which he belonged.” Without the date of his father`s death, we are unable to progress the matter further, and a precognition does not seem to have been held into his death. After he was shot the Funkie family were given the option of a pension for life, a piece of land, or one of the children to be educated. The family thinks that Frank got the education, to enable him to succeed his father as gamekeeper at Wemyss Castle. His newspaper obituary tells us that he was head game-keeper on the Wemyss Eastate for “a long course of years,” and for a number of years had held similar situations on the estates of Raith and Brechin. Latterly he had been in the employment of John Haig of Cameron Bridge, “who showed much regard for him as an old servant” Frank Funkie was married to Janet Keddie (born 1795; died Cameron Bridge, 25 Nov 1872), daughter of Robert Keddie, coal manager, and Janet Adamson.

  • Parish of Saline
    PARISH OF SALINE. THIS PARISH, containing the village of its own name, is on the west border of the County. It is bounded by Clackmannanshire and the Culross district of Perthshire on the west, by a detached portion of Torryburn and part of Kinross-shire on the north, by Dunfermline and Carnock on the east, and by Carnock, part of Clackmannanshire, and the Culross district of Perthshire, on the south. Its length west-ward is about five and a half miles, and its extreme breadth, including a detached section, is five miles. The detached section to the south has been exchanged, Quoad Sacra, for another detached portion of Torryburn, situated to the north of Saline; but, Quoad Civilia, the detached portions are still connected with the original parishes. The eastern district, comprising about one half of the entire area, is of an upland character, rising into a lofty ridge called the Saline Hills, several peaks of which are upwards of 1000 feet high; the highest being Saline Hill, which is 1178 feet above the level of the sea. This district, though chiefly pastoral, and partly marshy, includes some good arable tracts. The soil of the western half, which is comparatively level, is generally a mixture of clay and loam, incumbent on till, yet in some places very fertile. Coal, limestone, and iron-stone, abound; and mining operations are actively carried on. The antiquities are two Roman Camps and two old Towers. Roads traverse the Parish both from north to south and from east to west; and the Oakley station of the Stirling and Dunfermline Railway is on the south border.

Bishop of Brechin, and Primus of the Episcopal Church in Scotland. ILLUSTRATED BY A. C. CROLL MURRAY. Selkirk : The Scottish Chronicle" Offices. 1917. Co — V. PREFACE. The following chapters appeared in the pages of " The Scottish Chronicle " in 1915 and 1916, and it is owing to the courtesy of the Proprietor and Editor that they are now republished in book form. Their original publication in the pages of a Church newspaper will explain something of the lines on which the book is fashioned. The articles were written to explain and to describe the origin and de\elopment of the Armorial Bearings of the ancient Dioceses of Scotland. These Coats of arms are, and have been more or less con- tinuously, used by the Scottish Episcopal Church since they came into use in the middle of the 17th century, though whether the disestablished Church has a right to their use or not is a vexed question. Fox-Davies holds that the Church of Ireland and the Episcopal Chuich in Scotland lost their diocesan Coats of Arms on disestablishment, and that the Welsh Church will suffer the same loss when the Disestablishment Act comes into operation ( Public Arms).

    Club, Community and Coal: A Case Study of Dunfermline Athletic Football Club in the 1980s James Canavan MA Sports History and Culture De Montfort University August, 2015 Acknowledgements Over the past year I have been overwhelmed by the support and guidance by many people associated with Dunfermline Athletic Football Club. From an initial, exploratory post on fans’ forum dafc.net in late July, 2014, I was immediately contacted by Donald Adamson and Jason Barber, who offered to help. Through Jason I was able to interview Jim Leishman and Ian Westwater, and Donald provided me with a high level of information about the club, in addition to the links with coal mining. I cannot thank Donald and Jason enough for their assistance. The following people have also provided help and information along the way: Gordon Baird, Alan Bairner, Kenny Cowan, Joe Graham, Jim Leishman, Duncan Simpson, John Simpson, and Ian Westwater. Every single person is a credit to themselves and to Dunfermline Athletic Football Club for giving up their free time to help me with this dissertation. I would also like to apologise to the staff at the temporary library at St Margaret’s House for my inability to work the microfiche readers, and to thank them for their help. At DMU, Matt Taylor has been very helpful in terms of the structure of the dissertation, and Neil Carter provided initial guidance. Lastly, I would like to thank my Father, Frank Canavan, for being a constant inspiration to complete this project. Since his death in 2009, I have visited Dunfermline every year, taking in a Pars match as a personal tribute.
