Christine, please reply here!

Point being, we really dont know what name she was born with, and of course, her birth might not even have been registered.

I wonder why she doesnt appear to have married Mr Kerr. not anywhere obvious anyway. Have you checked for marriages in Scotland?

looking back at the marriage index posted Robert/Edith this looks like her in 1911 -years married(6) and number of children(3) crossed out in red-so does that mean not living with husband? .and Robert is then married and not able to marry (this is what i have with my grandparents)
