 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 Sharon, I have looked at my lot and cannot make a connection, all my ancestors came from Dumfriessshire, in particular Dalton , Mouswald and Torthorwald. Regards Stoop.

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?

Wondering why you are waiting for certificates to be delivered, when you can download
them instantly on Scotlands People.?
