Wow !! .. Yes that looks like the Elizabeth who married James Rodger (who's surname I couldn't make out) I do know what you mean by the surnames changing, even on Mary Kerr m.s Rodgers death in 1909 her surname was spelt rogers.. No wonder we get waylaid.

Thanks guys.. Brilliant as always.

Sorry Guys, I looked back at my posts and see Flip already listed children... There must have been a Robert after 1901 as he is on Hugh marriage... I had had a wee look on the 1911 census and mother Mary isn't on.. She has died in 1906 aged 40..

Thanks to all who has helped me...

I'm always interested in tracing both sets of families ArgyllGran, Thanks..

I purchased the marriage cert for Hugh Kerr and Nellie Green It lists parents as James Kissock Kirk Kerr and Mary Rodgers, and on James Kissock K Kerr and Mary Rodgers marriage it list parents as William Kerr and Mary Kirk. This one tells me that Mary Rodgers parents were James Rodgers and Elizabeth Mc??? couldn't quiet make it out... Can anyone help me in tracing more children for James K K Kerr and Mary Rodgers?? Hugh was born 14 May 1904 so there must have been other children ???

:-S

I don't know if you're interested in Nellie's tree, or only Hugh's. but this could be her mother. Sorn is very near Auchinleck, and the age would be OK for a 1907 marriage. You can check her YOB from her marriage cert.

Birth:
1887 DEVLIN JANE F SORN /AYR 613/00 0123.

Yet more credits on SP will let you find their parents names from the marriage cert, and you can also look for Henry and Jane Green in Auchinleck, Ayrshire in 1911 census on SP.

Hugh's parents' marriage.
Credits, again, will let you view the image, which will tell you who their parents were, and when the parents married. Then you can take the search back from there to the next generation.

Reggie.... Unfortunately I have two lots of Hugh Kerr's in my tree, which makes it frustrating. I was hoping this Hugh Kerr was my direct link on my Gibson side, but since I have managed to find another link I may as well follow it up.. :-)

So that wasn't the Hugh whose mother was Annie Gibson.........I thought you said she was your 'link'
