Marilyn, have you tried: Father: George KERR, Mother: Jean COCK (sometimes COOK) ** ALEXANDER KER Christening: 26 APR 1794 Fordyce, Banff WALTER KERR Birth: 13 JAN 1798 Christening: 22 JAN 1798 Banff, Banff JAMES KER Christening: 02 APR 1800 Fordyce, Banff JANNET KER Christening: 02 APR 1800 Fordyce, Banff JEAN CARR Female Christening: 24 MAY 1802 Forglen, Banff ISABEL KER Birth: 20 MAY 1804 Christening: 20 MAY 1804 Alvah, Banff BEATRICE CAR Christening: 18 MAR 1806 Fordyce, Banff Note the twins; do any turn later on in your family? Alexander was born at the Mains of Glassaugh; Beatrice (thus Betty?) at Smiddyboyne. I suggest this only because one of my relatives links into the COCK side. Howard Geddes
