Post by: stoop on Thursday 29 November 07 16:18 GMT (UK)

 I am trying to locate the burial place of John Kerr, he is probably buried in Torthorwald or Dalton graveyard . He most likely died in the late seventeen hundreds or early eighteen hundreds ,his father was a James Kerr tenant in Cleughbrae. Anyone got m. i for these graveyards, thank you regards stoop.

hey Stoop,
Don't know if you are still on here, but did your John Kerr marry a Isabella Lennox.
Be good if it was the same family. hitting many brick walls.

Hi,

Don't know if we have a connection.  My Kerrs lived in Cleughbrae Cottages and the last one I have is a John who married in 1805.  Did your John have a son John?

Hi Allan

He married Catherine Hallyday.  He had a son Francis but that is the only child I have so far been able to identify.  The Cottages feature as an address further down my family tree but the family always seem to have stayed around there and I have not got an address for John.
