Moira
Is it the roots or the branches where she has gone wrong..?
What address is on MC..?

Moira

Moira Report 11 Jan 2012 08:23

She has gone wrong from Mary's father, John Kerr, all I know is that he was a Taylor in Liverpool at one time.
My John Kerr lived in Rotherham Yorkshire and was a Draper, he never had a daughter called Mary.

I cannot find any trace of the family on the 1841/51 census.
On the marriage cert it says his name was John Kerr but he could have changed his name, but I have looked for all the children and cannot find anything, it seems odd,I will keep searching
