Thanks, rootgather, that's great!

I think what really threw was in Mary Kerr born Liverpool.
I just wish we could find the family in 1861 - possible on their way home from Scotland!

William McNeil and Lavinia had a daughter, Elizabeth, born 23 April 1861 and then they seem to disappear too!

Mary Kerr's parents were still living in 1861. A search on Scotlandspeople for their deaths may prove lucky if the informant knew the names of their parents. It would take you back another generation.
