Joseph Jardine and Janet Kerr

[mosstrooper]

JamJar,
             Here is the news from the US of A

There wasn't a map.. unfortunately, because that would have been VERY
helpful!

 

However, there is a list that I copied out of a book in the Lochmaben
library. I don't have the whole list. only the page with our John Kerr on
it. Here is the book information:, Memorials of Lochmaben  Parish by George
Gilchrist. He made the book during the 70's when you could still read the
words on the stones. The only reason ours was still readable was because of
the grass covering it. Also, in the book, the stones are numbered, which
helps.

Oooo, not good. 

I'll check out the book, though.

Who knows, the stones laying down may be easy to notice when they cut the grass in the cemetery.

I'm sure if it has been found once, it can be again.

A big thanks.

Jamjar

RE: Jardine’s & shoemakers etc- wonder if my family are not connected to yours somewhere. Very familiar occupations & surnames.
My two lines are as follows:
(1)
Janet Lorimer KERR 1846 –1877 Born & Died Kirkbride Kier
Married James McCUBBIN 1839-1917
They had a son John McCUBBIN who was a shoemaker b. Dunscore 1862/3
(2)
William JARDINE/GARDINE b.1832 Urr Kirkcudbright
Married Eliza CARRUTHERS 1820-1851 Died Quarrelwood
They had a daughter Jane  b.1848 Penpoint.
Eliza’s mother was Sarah McDONALD – The McDONALD’s were a family of shoemakers that passed the tradition on to the Carruthers family.

Perhaps this will ring a few bells

Hi Ian,

I am afraid I can't see any connection. 

One never knows, though.
