Hi Vi

Could these be Isabella's parents in 1891 before her birth?:

John Adams 35, Ship Yd Rivetters
Larence Adams 27
Adams Adams 5
John Adams 3
James Adams 2
Hendy Kerr 25, boarder, Ship Yard Rivetter b. Govan
Mary Kerr 22 b. Ireland
Richard Kerr 1 b. Govan

Address: 15 Crescent St, Greenock

What do you know about parents? Have you been able to find their marriage cert to give you some idea on their ages or father Henry's occupation?

There is a birth entry showing on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for an Isabella Kerr in Greenock in 1891 likely to be Isabella's. The birth entry should also include date and place of parents' marriage.
