Looking for any info on my great grandparents Mathew Kerr (b. 1883) and Martha 'Kitty' Clements (sp?) b. 1885 in Scotland.
I have NO idea where in Scotland they were from, but do know they arrived in Canada in 1910 with three children (Cecil, Matthew McCorquodale and Rose. My grandfather Melrose Stevenson Kerr was born in Canada in 1918
Mathew Kerr's parents were William Kerr and Mary McCorquodale (sp?)
Martha Clement's parents were Christopher Clements and Rosina Malone, but there is some question as to if Rosina was her mother or the 'Auntie' she claimed she was raised by.

After reading a post and a reply 2009 about a Martha Clements married in Canada, it had details of a marriage of Christopher Clements and Rosina Malone in Scotland. Is it possible to find out if his parents were Christopher Clements -- stonemason and Sarah Ann Cardwell, if so they were from Killyman Co Tyrone. married 1839. Christopher was born in Sligo about 1853/56. Is it possible to get the details of Christopher and Rosina's marriage, my late husband is descended from the Clements of Killyman. I would be happy to share the details I have.
Thank you
Margaret

Hi there,
I haven't been on the site for several years and just noticed that you are looking for info on an old post of mine (under a different,old and forgotten account) re: Rosina Malone and Christopher Clements. My records do show that his parents were Christopher Clements and Sarah Ann Cardwell. Great to learn they were form Killyman and that they were married in 1839. I would love to hear more about them or their lineages if you care to share still.
Many thanks,
Jennifer
