It seems that I may never know who Alexander's real father was as I have written to the churches local to Kinallen where he was born but no clues there.Would it be to much to ask someone to list me the Presbyterian churches within a five mile radius of Dromara just in case he was baptised further from home.Regards

Hi Tomy,
Just read through your post, this is a great website to check for births, deaths and marriage around Ireland, if you put in Alexander Kerrs name and year he was born it will bring up his birth certificate information, it doesn't list his fathers name.

OP stated in first post in this thread that "i have just managed to get my grandfathers birth certificate."
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Aghadowey, thanks for taking an interest.I have tried to find Alexanders father by getting in touch with the local churches for a baptism but no luck there,don't know what I can do now.
