I am researching Andrew KERR who married Jean/Jane WRIGHT in 1802 at St Nicholas Aberdeen
They had 3 sons:
1. Andrew KERR b 1803 m- Christian(a) LESLIE. They had a number of children and moved between London and Aberdeen during the 1820's and 30's- their children:
WILLIAM RETTIE KERR -
Christening: 02 APR 1824 Saint Nicholas, Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland
JAMES JENKINS KERR -
Birth: 30 JAN 1826 Christening: 29 JUN 1828 St Botolph Without Aldgate, London
PETER SAUNDERS KERR - Birth: 06 JUN 1828 Christening: 29 JUN 1828 St Botolph Without Aldgate, London,
Twin:
MARY ANN KERR -
Birth: 06 JUN 1828 Christening: 29 JUN 1828 St Botolph Without Aldgate, London
ALEXANDER PLOWMAN KERR -
Birth: 03 JUL 1830 Christening: 11 JUL 1830 St Botolph Without Aldgate, London
EDMUND WRIGHT KERR -
Christening: 13 FEB 1833 Saint Nicholas, Aberdeen,
MARY KERR - Birth: 27 JUN 1836 Christening: 03 JUL 1836 Saint George In The East, Stepney, London
I found Christiana and young Mary KERR in London in 1851- Christiana a widow, prev a laundress and Mary a boot binder, living at 1 Globe Court. I think Andrew may have been a mariner- I cannot find any of the other children anywhere.
Mary KERR married ???Noonan, sometime in the 1850's - maybe Mathew NOONAN in 1854, St Nicholas Church Aberdeen - Mary died a pauper in Romford, Essex in 1901- she had been in London workhouses for many years from at least 1881
2. George KERR b 1805 - may have been a fireman in 1841 living at St Clements with a wife ANN and some children. After that I cannot find them
3. John Hendry KERR b 1807 m- Jane BARRON ( mother Isobel DOW) from Bellie Moray but had their children in and around Stepney, London- he was a second mate ( mariner) and died between 1852 and 1861. His wife died aged 78 in 1891 in London. I have nearly all his descendents.
It is possible Jean WRIGHT had a sister Ann WRIGHT who married Alexander LESLIE in 1806, St Nicholas- it is possible Christiana LESLIE is a relation ..2 children are listed on IGI -Alexander b 1807 and Ann b 1809
If anyone can help find these folks or is researching the family I would love a reply
Thanks kindly
