I have Kerr & Pinkerton(yes connected distantly to the Pinkerton Detective founder)
My Kerrs are Nitshill.Abbey parish in Renfrew,Hugh Kerr migrated from Donegal with his six children around 1844.He remarried to Margaret McDonnell & they had two gilrs who died as infants.My GGGreat-Grandmother Ellen/Helen Kerr/Carr married twice but only had one child that I can find my GGreat-Grandmother Margaret Leitch(her Father Archibald Leitch) was not one of Elen's husbands.Two of her brothers settled in Cumbernauld next to a Cornelius Kerr who I think may be a brother to Hugh but have nothing to confirm that just the age & the fact that the boys went to stay with him when still young teens.
Noticed your posting of Dr. Archie Kerr, you think from Canada. Do you have any further info on this Dr. Archie Kerr? I have a Elizabeth McDonald, married to a Archie Kerr in 1912, in Canada. This couple had children, two known of, Archie and Dorothea. Doreathea died in 1933 in Vancouver, Canada.
Elizabeth McDonald Kerr was the daughter of my g-g-grandfathers sister.
Do you know who the parents of Archie Kerr were? According to the info I have, Elizabeth McDonald Kerr was married in 1912, to a Archie Kerr.. They had two children, Archie and Dorethea. Dorethea died in 1933 in Vancouver, Canada, that I know of. Thanks THJ
