I have the marriage certificate (21 May 1854 Prestwich, St Mary) for James Barrow (b. abt. 1833) to Hannah Royds (b. abt 1834). This shows father's as George Barrow and John Royds.
Through searching Census Records I think I have Children of James and Hannah as
Elizabeth E Barrow b. abt 1863
Levi Barrow b. 16 Sep 1865 Parr, St Helens, Lancashire ( Birth Certificate - District Prescot, Sub District St Helens, County Lancaster, Volume 8B, Page 621, Entry 111 and Death Notice At 173 High Street, Irvine, 28th October (1906), James Barrow, aged 73 Years, Inserted by his son, John - Ardrossan & Salcoats Herald)
James Barrow b. abt 1868
John Barrow b. abt. 1869 England
Sarah Ann Barrow b. abt 1871 England
George Barrow b. abt 1876 England

Tracing any census information on these would be helpful so I am hoping SCS can help

SCS

I am looking for John Kerr age ~37, Wife Jane Kerr age ~34, and daughter Elizabeth Kerr age ~8 who I hope are in Irvine 1901 Census but it could be Dalry??.

This will hopefully get me started on the family of scottish decent.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Tricia

Thanks for your help. I have the following I am as certain as I can be about - tracing backwards.

My grandfather Thomas Edward LEICESTER was born 14/4/1901 and celebrated his 100th birthday which I was at.
His birth Cerificate gives father's name as Arthur Henry LEICESTER and mother as Agnes May DARLING.
[1D 782 entry 329, East Battersea, Wandsworth, London]
Arthur Henry LEICESTER married Agnes May DARLING 6/8/1888 
[1D 1149 entry 65, St Faith's, Wandsworth, Surrey]
The 1891 Census return is as laid out above with son Arthur (1yr) and daughter Alice (5mth) with Arthur Henry LEICESTER giving birth as London Battersea at Age 22.
My next tracing was from the CWGC as he is believed to have died in WW1.
This gave me Arthur Leicester b. 1870 in Battersea. Service No. 30367 with the 2/4th Battalion (Terratorial Force, Loyal North Lancs. Enlisted Mill Hill Middlesex. Rank private died 03/06/1918 Flanders - France.
This led me to the questionable certificate.
Arthur Henry LEICESTER b. 26/9/1870, 1 Bute Street to Mary Ann LEICESTER with no father details. [1A 154 entry 44, Brompton, Kensington, Middlesex]. The confusion is the Battersea/Kensington birth differences. I suppose he could have 'lied' on the census/enlistment due to an unmarried mother?. If so then I will have to check the Kensington entries.

What do you think.

Sorry about the long explanation. Thanks again

Thanks everyone for you suggestions and offers of help. Alfred Henry Gillingham was born in Trimulgherry India in 1868. Info is from Births Regimental Index E-G 1761-1924 1136 AB-91. It states 19th Regiment Vol 970 Page39. His father at Alfred's marriage  Nov 1890, is given as Robert Gillingham (Colour Sergeant - deceased). So now it is just a matter of searching the Regimental data for a 10th Regiment could be "of Foot" or "Hussars". Easy Peasy I don't think.
