Yes - sorry, Joe. i see it at the bottom of the Brown census info. The Cherrie one is the next line of attack, as you say.

Thomas Cherrie was a shale miner ,aged what looks like 20 in 1892. His parents were John Cherrie (shale miner) and Ann Kerr.

Alexander Donaldson is now down as journeyman baker, deceased.

hi pal,

this is whit i have so far...

john married ann kerr 9/9/1867 adrossan, ayrshire

1871 census- 94 camnethan street, cambusnethan

i reckon that john cherrie dies before the 1891 census as ann reverts back to her maiden name and looks to be living in some kind of lodgings.

ann kerr...age 41
thomas...age 18...shale miner
william...age 16...shale miner

Hi Guys, ( joekar & gadget ),

Went out shopping after i posted this morning, wow! you've been busy. The info you've collected is brilliant. Got a lot to go on now, gadget came up with Ann Kerr, my mothers name was Anne Keir Cherrie Erskine, so thats where that connection comes from.
The O'malleys were  Robert Browns mothers side if i remember right. Also there's a French connection somewhere in there, don't ask me where, this lot seems to be a bit of a heinz verity.
If either of you live in the Loanhead area, i'm due you a drink.
Cheers Iain  Smiley
