Nan,
The forecast for this area is snow over the weekend, so I thought I better get over there today.
Thanks to Anne, I didn't have to search about too much and found the grave fairly easily.
Here is a photo of the Grave of the Kerr family. I have more which I will send full size for printing if you have
managed to follow Anne's instructions regarding sending me a PM with your email address. If you can't do
that I will send you a PM with my email address so we can talk off site and exchange photos.
James.

Pam,
We all run into those kind of problems now and then, don't worry about it.
I was born not far from Slamannan at Crossroads, near Avonbridge. If you have any addresses from
Census records or other certificates, give them to me and I will see what is still standing for a photo.
James.

Hi there, I had seen your post about Kerrs from Slamannan the other day and though you might be interested in the following - I don;t know if you have a connection or not;
7 December 1915
Slamannan – Fatal Accident – While the miners of the Klondyke Pit, belonging to the Carron Company, were coming off their shift on Tuesday evening last, a very serious accident befel one of their number. On leaving the pithead they have to come down a stair to get to the road. Several of them were coming down together, when one of their number jumped on the railing and slid to the bottom. He then made a dash to cross the rails, but failed to notice that the engine was shunting at the time. The unfortunate lad was knocked down and run over. One of his legs was completely severed and the other was only hanging by a bit of string. The ambulance men at the pit were in immediate attendance, and carried him into the engine room, and rendered first aid. Dr Young was there as soon as possible, and ordered his removal to Falkirk Hospital, but he died there early the same night. The young man's name is Daniel Kerr. He was 17 years of age, and a son of Robert Kerr, Mosscastle Road. The accident cast a gloom on the whole of the workers belonging to the pit, and much sympathy is felt for the father, as deceased was such a bright and promising lad. [Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser 11 December 1915]

hello bairnj.
sorry about the delay in replying. Yes your story must have something to do with our family though I don't know what yet. I will certainly did deeper on this one as we had a Robert from Mosscastle road. Slamannan.
We also had John Kerr who died in a car accident around 1960--1966.Aged 27yrs, He is buried in Slamannan as well. If you come across any newspaper reports on this accident I would be gratefull if you or anyone else could let me know.
Kind regards. Pam.
