I've just started this journey ! , but can trace direct descent down my father's male line from the "James Marr married Johanna Jamieson, they had a son, Charles who married Jane Kirke " mentioned by Robeena in an earlier reply.

Charles Marr & Jane Kirke also had a son called Charles, I believe the line goes:

Charles Marr(Fisherman, N.Berwick, James on his birth certificate ?)/Joan Jamieson

had son Charles Marr (Father Charles Marr, Mother Joan Jamieson) born 1835

Charles Marr(1835-1910, Fisherman, N.Berwick)/Jane Kirk(e)

had son Charles Marr born 1864

Charles Marr( 1864-1906), Fisherman, N.Berwick)/Margaret Clarence Dalrymple Thomson (Domestic Servant, later married to a Mr Wilkie)

had son Charles Marr( 1891-1957)

Charles Marr( Public Baths Boilerman, Leith)/Catherine Ferguson Russell

had son Charles Alexander Marr 1930 - who is my father.

Rgds,
Gerry Marr

I haven't yet found a link between my Prestonpans/Haddington Marr's and the North Berwick ones, but I am sure there is a link there somewhere, possibly back a few generations in the earl 1700s. As my prestonpans marr's were also fisherman.

I`m still looking for a marriage for Peter Marr to Ann Bruce before 1782 that was when thier daur Anne was bap and she married my James Combs.   Mind i haven`t been on that family for a long time with getting more contacts on other parts of  my family but had a look about to day and found nothing. but we have to keep hunting about.  gladys.

I am a descendant of the Marr's of Dunbar.  My grandmother, after whom I am names, was the youngest daughter of Robert Marr and Martha Sloan.  I am not sure if my Robert Marr is the same as the one married to Margaret Stewart, because I thinkl she died after the birth of their second daughter Mary.  As my Robert Marr was 49 when he married my great grandmother it seems fair enough that he may have been married before.

I am named after my grandmother, Ann(ie) Marr, who was born in 1868 and died in 1920 having married John Robertson in Edinburgh and produced 9 children.
