Ireland / Annie Kerr
« on: Monday 21 June 21 21:23 BST (UK) »
Hello all,
I am new to researching the Irish side of my family tree and wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction. My great grandmother has long been a mystery in our family tree and we can't seem to find out much about her.
This is what I have so far to go on -
She was born in somewhere in Ireland in abt. 1872.
She grew up in Glasgow with her grandmother.
She married my great grandfather, Fredrick Harvey Gooding, in 1895.
She died in 1929 in Wandsworth, Greater London.
Her father was James Kerr, he was a Tailor and he died before 1895 - according to her marriage certificate.
The only other information I have that may or may not be helpful is a DNA match 4th cousin whose great grandmother was Mary Jane (Minnie) Kerr born in Ireland 1873/4 but not really sure if this is coincidental or Mary could be Annie's cousin/sister.
I would be so grateful for any help or advice with this. I feel like I am going round in circles with it!!
Many thanks
Izzy
