Hi Florence You can indeed get excellent MI booklets from the Aberdeen and North East Scotland FHS (_www.anesfhs.org.uk_ (http://www.anesfhs.org.uk) ) for Keig, Tough and Alford. I have several Cobbans buried in Keigh Old kirkyard - Francis 1808 - 1888; William 1812 - 1890 and Elizabeth 1802 - 1829. Any matches with yours? Regards Elizabeth Gabriel

Dear Florance: I have Elizabeth Cobbon 1802-1829. Her memorial stone reads: "In memory of Elizabeth Cobbon, who died June 28th 1829, aged 27, spouse of John Gordon late merchant Auchleven and daughter of John Cobbon in Leys of Leslie. This memorial is erected as a token of the respect by her brother-in-law also her mother Isabel Ironside who died Jan 30th 1836 aged 63." Elizabeth is my first cousin, 4 generations removed. I have a Francie Cobban born 15 Mar 1801, who is Elizabeth's older sister. I do not have a Francis 1808-1888. They have a brother William, born 4 May 1813, sixth in a family of seven. My files include two more Williams but none with the dates 1812-1890. The above family of John Cobban and Isabel Ironside resided in Keig. Perhaps we should exchange information via Gedcom since it would appear that we are cousins.
