Hi Joan, Nice of you to write. This ancestor Helen KERR was born about 1785 either Stoneykirk where she married or some other parish She married David NEIL in 1801 in Stoneykirk.. Her parents were Niven KERR and Janet McGAIG which was on her death certificate.. Also I picked up a Niven KERR married to Jean MCCAY and they had a daughter Helen chr 26 May Stoneykirk, and wondered if this was her parents. There was no sign of any other children to this couple. I hope this finds you doing well with your research. Allison.

Author: NutmegGreenwood Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.scotland.wig.general/1878.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Do you know where Alexander HUNTER was in the 1851 Census ? Many of Wigtownshire's 17 parishes have Deaths listed online in the "Wigtownshire Pages". He definitely did not die in 1855 anywhere in Wigtownshire, Deaths in 1855 are in a specific database also in the WIG Pages. There is only a Robert HUNTER and a Margaret HUNTER, no Alexander in that year. Check the deaths in these listings : http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~leighann/death_records/deaths.html Post again if you think he lived/died in a parish with unlisted records, they can be checked. I hope you know that OPRs for Deaths rarely give any more than a name and a date in a parish's record books.
