I am looking for information on the Rae shipping family Kirkcudbright/Liverpool in early 1800s. What is their relationship to Alexander Rae, Vintner/Innkeeper Kirkcudbright who migrated to Australia in 1854 with his daughter Jane Rae, married to William Kerr, and their children. Any information on William Kerr, born Minnigaff, and Rae family members welcome. I am descended from William Kerr and Jane Rae.

About 30 entries for that surname born Scotland living in Liverpool. No names or birth years given in your post as to which particular Rae's you are referring to so how can any connection be established to Alexander?

John 10
Elizabeth 7

William 4

In 1841 - Alexander is an Innkeeper
Why do you think there is a connection? You need to supply more information

Just to add that the Kirkcudbright-Liverpool sea route seems to be quite busy. When I was researching my KKD families, it cropped up quite often. Aparently the stone from a quarry near Creetown was used to build one of the quays in Liverpool.
My 2x greats travelled that route to get, eventually, to Ruabon in Wales.
