They have the following children David b. 1875 , Jane b. 1877 Ewan b. 1879 and John b. ? The family lived at the same address until at least 1901. James it appears died in 1910. Is anyone researching this family?.Thank you stoop.

Hello Stoop
It looks as if you have done a fair amount of research yourself
You have a ? against the name of John for his birth year, on 1881 he is shown as 11 months, so we assume he was born 1880, on 1891 he is 10, so circa 1880 would be about correct
Also on various census there are other KERR families living close to James and his family, also born in Scotland
We can't show 1911 but on 1901 the children have flown the nest

There is a death for
James Kerr born about 1845 in 1908 Nantwich
-
Do you have a copy of his will?

Thanks Louisa Maud, it could be that some Kerr families are related to each other, it would make sense to join up particularly if they were in the same line of business like drapery. Thanks again stoop.

Hello Heather Julie, more useful information I did not have any information regarding Ewan and his marriage and being an electrical engineer apprentice. I have since found the precise birth dates of the children and the deathof Jane in 1876 at Nantwich. Thanks again stoop.
