Looking for any info on my great grandparents Mathew Kerr (b. 1883) and Martha 'Kitty' Clements (sp?) b. 1885 in Scotland.
I have NO idea where in Scotland they were from, but do know they arrived in Canada in 1910 with three children (Cecil, Matthew McCorquodale and Rose. My grandfather Melrose Stevenson Kerr was born in Canada in 1918
Mathew Kerr's parents were William Kerr and Mary McCorquodale (sp?)
Martha Clement's parents were Christopher Clements and Rosina Malone, but there is some question as to if Rosina was her mother or the 'Auntie' she claimed she was raised by.
Hi Digit,
I think Eve has found your Mathews birth I have also found
1910 KERR ROSINA MARY F KILMACOLM /RENFREW
I have also found the shipping list 1910 of Martha and children going to Canada, I'm guessing that Mathew may already be there as it looks like Cecil was born in Canada.
And maybe they married in Canada. If you Pm me your email i will send you what I have found.
