Hi Stoop and csc,
A little of topic and I apologise, but I refer to your post, csc, in respect to your George Kerr and Mary Dickson. Do you know who Mary's parents were? and the timeframe we are talking about as I have been for awhile been trying to piece together the various Dickson families in the Mouswald area just as you are with the Kerr's. My Dicksons were from the village and also occupied the smithy at Woodside for at least the 19th & early 20th Centuries, possibly earlier.
I also have another Kerr question, I have in my tree Thomas Kerr, Mary Hutchison and their daughter Margaret was born c1830 and died 1849, 6 months after being married to Charles Jardine, who in turn remarried to Jane Dickson in 1851, sister of my 2G Grandfather Jacob Dickson. Do you, in your research of the Kerr's, have any info on this Kerr family. I believe Margaret died at Elizafield. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Mick Dickson
