Never read through this thread before...interesting.

CSC...

My evil h-sister is the great granddaughter William/Jane Hanna and yes Jane Hanna died in Manitoba 13 Mar 1919 and is buried in Miniota where her son Thomas first settled.  It is also on the family stone in Terregles.

Thomas Kerr was an apprentice up in Dysart, Fife and his was mother came with him.  His employer was David Raitt Robertson who owned a machining business.  His daughter Isabella and Thomas held hands.  Thomas and his mother left for Manitoba, Isabella followed and they married 01 Jun 1911 in Winnipeg.  Thomas/Isabella died in Spear's SK where he had a hardware business. 
Isabella died in 1930 and Thomas in 1944.

They had three children; David Raitt Kerr 1912-1945 (2 weeks before my sister arrived he is buried in Hamilton, ON). Margaret 1913-2011 (Shellbrook, SK) and Katherine Isabella 1915-1991 (South Concordia Union, SK). Family still reside in Saskatchewan and Alberta although only five or six still standing. 

So yes, Stoop and my sister are 2nd or 3rd cousins.

Don

Hi Nic that would be good, I have just spoken to my son who is also interested even my wife would like to visit Dumfries again. We live in Liverpool although I was born and raised in Dumfries in the Stoop area to be precise. I will try to put a plan together and agree with you how we go about it regards stoop.
