    1. [QC-ETANGLO] KERR? Children
    2. Joanne Crack
    3. Some time ago this message was posted.....time to re-post. In July of 1867 a KERR family arrived in Quebec off the S.S. St. Andrew from Scotland. This family consisted of 5 children. 3 of these children and the parents are my ancestors. We have never been able to trace the other 2 children. Also, since their arrival in Quebec there has been no trace of them. They are: David age 13 - listed as an adult and Margaret age 9. They travelled with David & Catherine Kerr and John age 5, Mary age 2 and Duncan (David Duncan), age one. (these are my ancestors) David was a widower at the time of his marriage to Catherine Duncan on 31 Dec 1860 in Dunfermine-Fife County, Scotland. We presume that it is very possible that these children were perhaps David's from his first marriage but unlikely since the children did not appear to remain with them. Perhaps these children where a neice and nephew??? Perhaps they were simply stow-aways using the Kerr name and travelling with this family for a fee to be met by relatives and simply took on their original name on arrival??? Anyone who can enlighten me or anyone with a David Kerr b. abt. 1854 or a Margaret b. abt. 1858 in their history please contact me.
