THANK YOU !!! Where did you get the information from???

The information that Vbain has posted is from Tiny Township which is in the COUNTY of Simcoe. 

Are you looking for information from Simcoe the town, or Simcoe the County cause they are two separate things.

To be honest not sure, the last known address i've got for my Great Grandpa, Thomas Kerr was in 1946,  and that was 62 Peel Street, Simcoe, Ontario. (Taken from his American Immigration form).

Thomas was born 28 July 1891. In 1946 was living with his son Robert, at 72 Speirs Street, Bearsden, Glasgow.

He has a wife Sarah (nee Graham),  born 1892 in Crossmoyle, Clones, County Monaghan, Ireland
(same address).

His daughter Sarah Beauvais (nee Kerr) born in 1927, in Glasgow, Scotland, is also on the same record living at the same address in Simcoe.

He was friends with a Harry Wilton Oakes, who he served with in the Army, and Harry died in 2002, in Simcoe, Onatrio. His wife Mary Ellen Oakes (nee Kerr), was Thomas' eldest daughter and she too died in Simcoe, Ontario.

 

A quick update:

Firstly a big thanks to those who originally helped, as a result I was able to track down my great grandpa Thomas Kerr being born in Cambuslang, Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1891 and ended up dying in Simcoe, Ontario.

So far I've managed to trace my ancestors to 1765 in Ayrshire, so once again a big thanks to all who offered their assistance....

First of a big thanks to all who replied, today I got the birth certificate, transcription follows:

Child: David Kerr born 14th November 1921 at 9, Plant Street, Glasgow.
Father: Thomas Kerr, Tramcar Motorman
Mother: Sarah Kerr, Ms Graham

Marriage: 23 October 1914, Clones, County Monaghan, Ireland

Firstly a huge big thanks to all who answered my previous post on information regarding my Grandfather David Kerr born 1921 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, as a result my mother now has several new half brothers and sister, who I'm trying to arrange a first face to face meeting.

An inquiry of such, (if allowed), that relates to David Kerr's parents.  My suspicion was that Joseph Graham Kerr (David's brother) was named after one of their grandparents chose to be fruitful, as it turns out their parents are Thomas Kerr and Sarah Graham (no dates, but I'm guessing between 1880-1890), I've tried following the usual route of Ancestry, Scotspeople.gov.uk but without much success, any help would be appreciated,
