Hi David

Apologies first. I have had to take off the image of the birth cert due to copyright issues. You can include small snippets for help with deciphering etc. but not the whole image.

The transcription you have included above does the job great  ;) Great news really. The possible marriage that scotmum posted is no longer just a possible!

As no obvious marriage in Scotland, one to consider in Ireland:

Clones District, Monaghan in Dec qtr 1914, between a Sarah Graham and Thomas Kerr.

Irish marriage certs, I understand, include just father's name and occupation (like the Welsh and English marriage certs.). But you can confirm their ages in 1914 and try and link back to the Irish 1901/11 censuses. It will be a start in tracing back their respective families.

The nearest we got, I think, on a possible death entry for Sarah, (married women are always easier to find deaths for as you can search with both the maiden and married surnames) was a  Sarah Kerr/Graham death in 1964 Lanarkshire (two years outside currently of being able to view this online).

With the mention of 9 Plant Street, thought you would find these recollections by others of interest http://discuss.glasgowguide.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18843

That's great, David. It looks as though you are now getting somewhere. Good luck with the Irish search.

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....

Regards

David
