Cleughbrae , mouswald

[stoop]

Hi csc, I too would like to make a connection. I was given a list of Kerrs who are buried at Torthorwald by Kama including James Kerr late of Rigghead d. 24/9/1813 aged 42 presumably born in 1771. Another James of Rigghead was the father of Mary Kerr d. 5/1/1825 aged 76 birth year 1749. It would seem probable that the two Jatedames are related, likely grandson and grandfather and that Mary was an aunt of James the younger. This does not answer your question, whether Rigghead and Cleughbrae Kerrs are related but it is important to establish how the Kerrs in Torthorwald graveyard relate to the rest. Ihave the names and details of about twenty people buried in Torthorwald should you want them. Regards stoop.

yes thanks that might be helpful the reason i am wondering about righead is because of william kerr the miller who married martha mccall i could not find him on the mouswald census 1841 but he could not have been far away he got married 1842 there is a william at righead correct age describes as ag lab i was out there on sunday and you could walk it quite easy the graves in the churchyard are looking ok one of them is getting hidden by bushes i dont know how i did not notice francis granny sussanah beside him but i was only thinking kerrs and another thing while i have been searching for my charltons and sparks in the cumberland site what o lot of kerrs born scotland around longtown  might be where your ancestor went

Hi csc, regarding Kerr who was married at Milnfield Annan in 1805 he was my g.g.g. grandfather Thomas Ker( with one r). After the owner of the estate went bankrupt Thomas acquired a farm at the Stoop he died in 1829, curiously his will was dated 1838. His wife Mary Slater had the following children Mary born in Annan 1806, Jean Millar born in Annan1807, James born 1811 in Annan, George born 1817 and Martha born at the Stoop in 1820. I have accumulated lots of information about this family group. regards stoop.
