I take my hat off to you all. I feel a real amateur compared to you.
There isn't a Helena Kerr born in Lancashire. Florrie Kerr was definately born in 1898 in Atherton. My Kerr family lived in the part of Atherton called Hindsford that touches Tyldesley (my home town of long ago).
On Scotland's People there's a birth of a John Cummings Ferguson in 1870 in St Clement, Dundee City and an Agnes Bank in 1875 also in St Clement Dundee.
Also another John Chalmers Ferguson born 1872 in Leith North Edinburgh City and an Agnes Bank born 1881, same place. I can't find a marriage though for a John Ferguson and Agnes Bank anywhere. They may have been married in a non-conformist church.
There isn't a birth for an Agnes Ferguson born abt. 1902 anywhere.
I'll check again when I can. I'm having to share a computer this weekend as my grandson is visiting and is glued to the keyboard.
James Kerr could have been known as James Kerr jnr. because he had the same name as his uncle who was still alive and living very close when they were still in England. Although putting jnr. is very much a North American thing.
James Kerr also had a son called James Wallace Kerr born 1896 who also served in WW1. That seems a lot of James Kerrs...
