Hi all, bit late in replying but only discovered this Roots general page. I have Kerr name in my maternal grandfather's side - his mother Isabella Kirk Kerr, says born in Maxwelltown, district of Troqueer , Kirkcudbrightshire but her family I have searched all have been given as born in Dumfries.
There are still Kerr relatives in Dumfriesshire and Glasgow, though where and who now are very distant to me, and no surviving elderly family to contact .

Regards

Bill

Hello, bit more information on some of these names

Robert Stewart and Jane Ferguson, buried in Kilmadock are my 2nd Great Grandparents and their daughter Margaret Stewart(Connolly/King) is the sister of my Great Grandmother Annie Stewart, married to John Glen. Margaret had a daughter called Isabella Dalgleish King born 1904 and Annie also had a daughter born 1904 called Isabella Dalgleish Glen. Isabella Glen is the younger sister to my Grandmother Euphemia Meldrum Glen - married a William McRae Houston

did see some of these names from patyp, but have not had a response, though I see most of the articles wee written 10 - 12 ears ago

best wishes to all

Monica,
Bit of a to do with SP for few day, finally...an apology  yes there was a big mistake with my family in the 1904 census, and got the correct copy this morning showing them at 48 Baker St.
So all in order for me, they'll  be putting up a correct version in due course.
Hope you are all surfing the heat, taking care etc, presently down un Hampshire short holiday, boy it's HOT 35 + today
Again thanks for all you good work
Bill

Which is what I saw, and that's when I got puzzled, but you have given me a clearer picture - pardon any pun -
So back to SP and give them this info and ask if they can look and give me a better copy.

Once again I am indebted to your good work and help

Hi Monica, Euphemia Meldrum Glen is my Paternal Grandmother, who died in 1925 after giving birth to twins, my father and his sister Euphemia/Effie to us. Correct in the names of the children - Jane took Aunt Effie to raise and Annie took my Father to raise. Euphemia Meldrum is then my 3rd Great Grandmother. - My Grandmother Euphemia's birth certificate only give her middle name as Meldrum, no Drummond mentioned, but then........
You did kindly gave me directions to the 1901 census and noticed the names with the Drummond surname so assumed they are not my relatives but now you mention leaving out the surname, names/dates do match - Oh dear, was something underhand going on with John Glen?? Lol  - Looked at my tree again closely but Drummond does not appear anywhere, and wasn't there a Margaret Stewart, listed as Granddaughter shown?. There's a mystery that's not showing up very well, back to the census original again - where's Miss Marple when you need her, Lol Bill
