A death Record might confirm his birth year
As a general principle, no to 'confirm', sometimes reported age at death can be accurate, other times it can be very inaccurate. Anyhow, there was a Charles Henry Kerr of 40 Causeway Street in
Portrush Co. Antrim who died in the Coleraine Hospital on 24 February
1955, a widower, a journalist, the informant of his death was a daughter Evelyn M. H. Wilson of 3 Martello Terrace, Holywood Co. Down, his reported age was 92, a newspaper death notice said he was in the 93rd year, placing birth c. 1862/3.
From the PRONI Will Calendars:
Kerr Charles Henry of 40 Causeway Street Portrush county Antrim retired journalist died 24 February 1955 at Coleraine Hospital Coleraine county Londonderry Probate Belfast 6 April to Isaac Howard Wilson retired bank official. Effects £335 4s. 3d.The GRONI website marriage index shows an Evelyn Kerr marrying an Isaac Wilson on 7 September 1932, the marriage was registered at Belfast. So I'm still pretty comfortable with this being the Charles Henry Kerr born and baptised in 1861 at Ramelton in Co. Donegal.
