My name is Duncan McIntyre Kerr - currently in London ( left Scotland 20 years ago)- I've been working on my family tree and -thought this forum might help me to find out if I have any living family in Kintyre or if anyone can help with gaps in my tree!
My Kerr family were mostly coal miners and farm workers @ Drumleman (Drumlemble) area.Furthest back I have got so far is James Kerr...- who was a miner, bn Colhill,Drumleman 1792 - He married Elizabeth O'May , also born Drumleman....His son Alexander Kerr, died aged 24 in 1864 - but it appears he had a son, born just after he died, with Janet Mann. ( born a month after his father ...Alexander Kerr Died ) - Son went on to call himself Alexander Mann Kerr .....( my great grandfather) -His Mother, Janet Mann , married a Donald Currie and had 2 other children.
Alexander Mann Kerr married Agnes McIntyre,also from the local area...- the family moved to Bothwell where my Grandfather - Duncan McIntyre Kerr was born in 1907 ....I wondered if any of my family are still in the Drumlemble/ Kintyre area or if anyone has any information/ history on any of the family names mentioned above.
Regards
Duncan M Kerr
