RCAHMS Site Record for Lindores Abbey

Lindores Abbey was a Tironensian abbey on the outskirts of Newburgh in Fife, Scotland. Now a much reduced and overgrown ruin, it lies on the southern banks of the River Tay, about 1-mile (1.6 km) north of the village of Lindores. The abbey was founded as a daughter house of Kelso Abbey about 1191 (some sources say 1178), by David, Earl of Huntingdon, brother of William the Lion. The first abbot was Guido, Prior of Kelso, under whom the buildings were mostly completed. The church, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and St. Andrew, was 195 feet (59 m) long, with transepts 110 feet (34 m) long. Edward I of England, John Balliol, David II, and James III were among the monarchs who visited Lindores at different times. The earliest record of scotch whisky is a 1494 commission from King James IV to Friar John Cor of Lindores Abbey to make about 580 kg of aquavitae. The abbey was sacked by a mob from Dundee in 1543, and again by John Knox and his supporters in 1559. In the following years the Abbey buildings were quarried as a source of building stone for Newburgh, and a number of architectural fragments are visible built into later structures in the town. The main upstanding remains of the Abbey are: one of the gateways leading into the monastic enclosure; the groin-vaulted slype, leading from the cloister garth to the exterior of the Abbey; and parts of the chancel walls and western tower of the church, although the ground plan of the whole structure can still be traced. Sections of the imposing precinct wall which once enclosed the abbey can also be seen in fields to the south. Wooden panels of the early 16th century survive from the Abbey in the Laing Museum, Newburgh and, reset in a 19th century cabinet, in St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, Dundee. - Wikipedia

NEWBURGH PARISH, CHARACTER ETC. OF THE PEOPLE.- The people are in general active and industrious, and, with the usual exceptions which occur almost invariably in manufacturing and sea-port districts, merit the praise of sobriety. The great bulk of them are attentive to the ordinances of religion and the education of their children. The rising generation are supplied from parish libraries with excellent and instructive books. These are read with much interest; and the time is not far distant, when Newburgh, which has hitherto been noted for commercial enterprise, will also be distinguished for a moral, religious, and a well-informed people. "No person belonging to the parish of Newburgh," says Dr Stuart, " has suffered the punishment of death for any crime within the period to which its records extend." To this notice in the former Statistical Account, the writer of the present one has only to add, that, in 1661, two women belonging to the town were hanged at Cupar, accused of the crime of witchcraft, and for causing, under the influence of that " black art, the minister's house, Mr Lawrence Oliphant, to be burnt." As in former times, " Newburgh supplied the navy of Great Britain with steady, well-behaved, and gallant men," the character of its seamen still continues to be held in estimation. The number of individuals or families engaged in trade are, Manufacturers, 13; corn-merchants, 4; grocers and other retailers, 21 ; bakers, 9; butchers, 4; medical practitioners, 3; stationer, 1. The number of families, 530; Average number of children in each, 5; Number of inhabited houses, 285 Number of Blind, 0; Number of Deaf and Dumb, 2; During the last three years there have been 9 illegitimate Births in the parish. - April 1836 ( The Rev. John Anderson, Minister)

The had at least four children: Ciliscia (born Aug 8, 1856, in Monzievaird); Isabella (born July 7, 1859, in Burntisland); William (born June 17, 1863, in Burntisland); and Stephen (born Dec 29, 1865, in Monzieviard, Dunbarton). - Scotland's People

William June 17, 1863 Burntisland, Fife    
Stephen Dec 29, 1865 Monzieviard, Dunbarton    

Selina's sister Isabella was married three times. She fainted and drowned in the bath at age 41. She had one or two kids with each husband. Husbands were: Richard Townsend (3 kids, last born in England - can't find his death - probably England), Alexander McLeod, and Thomas Whitehead Foster. It was interesting that she didn't seem to know much about her father.  In most records she named him as James. Once it was recorded as William. She said he was deceased when he was still living. Maybe that's what the mother told the children... - Glenda Waugh
