Hi Eileen,

Dorothy, bn 1896,d 1898. James bn1892, Ian bn1902, Mary bn 1905,[my mother], Henry bn1908, Ethel Marion bn 1910, Emma Constance bn 1912. The three eldest were born in Lancashire. Jane Currie was born in Glascow, as were her brothers and sister.Jane and James went back to England in 1905, but as Janes family had gone to Canada, they came back to Australia end of 1905. I have a copy of a radio broadcast announcing the death of John Kerr in 1945. He had been a member of a Hymns of Memory choir, and they dedicated a programme to him.Hope this helps you. Would like a copy of the photograph very much. Many thanks.
