Thank you both! Never heard of the word 'Tump' so that completely threw me!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1901 Census Address
« on: Monday 06 May 24 11:45 BST (UK) »
Hello 
Can anyone help identify the name of the cottages that James Miles lives at? First I thought Lamp Cottages but the L looks different than the others, then I thought Sump or Tump but then are they even words?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Re: Agnes Dawson - Whittingehame
« on: Saturday 14 October 23 17:43 BST (UK) »I could only see the use of Kerr once for the children of George and Agnes, and that was for son Kerr Paxton born in 1819. Dale was the other middle name that showed for daughter Isabel.
Great find by Colin of potential parents for George being a George Paxton and Alison KerrMakes more sense of your findings for sure.
Monica
The Kerr name was used only once here but every generation upto my grandfather (may possible be more but I havent researched further down) has had either a Kerr or a George Kerr.
