Hi everyone
i started researching my family tree last year.
i have hit a road block.....
i would love to find any living relatives of my grandmother, as i know virtually nothing about her family i.e, brothers and sisters.
Mygrandmother and her siblings were brought up in elliott street anderson
my grandmother was
HELEN S C KERR 1913-1957
her mother and father were
ARCHIBALD MCVICAR KERR - 1881 - 1947
ANNIE COPELAND - 1886 - 1965
she had 5brothers and 2 sisters, they are as follows;
CHRISTINA KERR - 1917 - 2004
christina married william walker and had two children, gordon walker and william walker.
JESSIE ANN KERR - 1918 - 1930
jessie died at a young age from meningitis
ARCHIBALD MCVICAR KERR - 1920-1991
archibald married isabella brace stephens and i know he has a son called edward kerr
JAMES COPELAND KERR - 1920-1974
james married helen lennox edwards, and he has a sons called james copeland kerr,
charles edward kerr and archibald kerr.
WILLIAM GRAY DE BOUGH KERR - 1921-1953
william died in an acccident at govan shipyards.
DONALD KERR - 1922 - ?
donald married mary hannah thomas mcdonald in 1949 and as far as i know had a son called william gray de bough kerr.
ALLAN COPELAND KERR - 1909 -1967
dont know if alan had any children or a wife.
I REALLY HOPE THERE ARE KERRS OUT THERE, WHO READ THIS AND GET IN CONTACT AS I REALLY WOULD LOVE TO GET TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MY GRANDMOTHERS FAMILY.
LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM ANYONE.
