Think maybe Andrew Kerr was married before but not sure whenAndrew was in the Army and think he may have served in India at sometime as he had a large Army trunk under his bed with Army memorabilia and things from India including snakes skins.
Nellie lived in Bellshill and she was married who to don't know but they had children and one was named Agnes when she was younger she used to call herself Senga
One of the girls married a McMillan/Macmillan they also had children they lived in Motherwell where he came from
There was a member of family who lived in Glasgow
I spoke to my dads sister last night she stayed with them for a while when she was younger in
Bothwellhaugh at 10 Park Place and remembers visitingsome of the family relatives homes in Bellshill.a suburb in North Lanarkshire in Scotland situated two miles north of Motherwell and nine miles south-east of Glasgow also someone's flats in Glasgow that she remembers were quite run down or a rough area, also Girvan andMussleburgh
Any information on the Kerr family or those linked to them most grateful
Regards
Glenise
