I must firstly thank a rootschatter from last year who put me on this trail to find the location of the Newbridge farm farmhouse that was demolished when the road was straightened. My Kerr family ancestors still lived in the farmhouse in the 1930s.My question is, does anyone in Newbridge have any information regarding any trace of the house. Here is hoping ,STOOP.

I don't know what details were provided last year but this shows a Bridge Farm at Terregles - dated 1933

This side by side map of Bridge Farm shows a straightening of the road north of the farm. To what extent would it have affected the old farm? Place cursor on old map the check modern location. Please ignore or if I have the wrong farm.
About the last sighting I can see of the Kerrs at Newbridge Farm is -
Dumfries and Galloway Standard, 1 May 1940
