Hi Wendy--thankyou for your response. It is correct that my ggrandparents Mary McBride REID born c 1859 and her husbandWilliam KERR Born c 1856 would not be on the earlier cenus records. (Note that McBride is Mary REID's given middle name, and her mother's maiden surname)
Mary's parents, Mary MCBRIDEand William REID would, however, have been born before 1841.
The only other information I have on these folks is that William KERR's parents were William KERR Sr. and Janet BLAIR.
The IGI in the LDS family search shows a Janet BLAIR and William KERR married in two different churches on the same day in 1851, one in Kilbarchan, Renfrew Scotland and the other in Beith, Ayr Scotland.
Sorry--the repetition of the given names makes this confusing.
My grandfather, s/o Mary REID and William KERR Jr., came to Ontario as a Home Child in 1911. Any information on his family would be most appreciated.
