Tyrone / Kerrs in Beragh, Deroar
« on: Sunday 17 February 13 21:46 GMT (UK) »
I need help And I apologise as my Ireland geography is terrible. I'm not sure if Deroar is seperate to Beragh or one is within another.
I am searching for the family of James Kerr born 1852 & brother William b1845. They arrived in Timiru, New Zealnd in 1875.
I have a letter from James here that talks of his mother catherine, sisters kate and mary, brother John, Joseph & Francis among others.
There is also talk of his fathers family in America. (1911 census has a sister and niece with the surname MAYNES, born in America)
My concern is James and William were born before her marriage to Francis Kerr by 10 years, going by calculations from the 1911 census. I am guessing she got married a second time to Francis Kerr, but I have no idea who her 1st husband was. The surname HARVEY has been given to me, but I don't know if it's her maiden name or her 1st married name.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
