I'm always interested in tracing both sets of families ArgyllGran, Thanks..

I purchased the marriage cert for Hugh Kerr and Nellie Green It lists parents as James Kissock Kirk Kerr and Mary Rodgers, and on James Kissock K Kerr and Mary Rodgers marriage it list parents as William Kerr and Mary Kirk. This one tells me that Mary Rodgers parents were James Rodgers and Elizabeth Mc??? couldn't quiet make it out... Can anyone help me in tracing more children for James K K Kerr and Mary Rodgers?? Hugh was born 14 May 1904 so there must have been other children ???

:-S

Sorry Guys, I looked back at my posts and see Flip already listed children... There must have been a Robert after 1901 as he is on Hugh marriage... I had had a wee look on the 1911 census and mother Mary isn't on.. She has died in 1906 aged 40..

Thanks to all who has helped me...

This will be the marriage of James Rodgers and Elizabeth.
McCutcheon is one of those names liable to have various different spellings. I have some in my own tree, some with the Mc and some without, in the same family.

Wow !! .. Yes that looks like the Elizabeth who married James Rodger (who's surname I couldn't make out) I do know what you mean by the surnames changing, even on Mary Kerr m.s Rodgers death in 1909 her surname was spelt rogers.. No wonder we get waylaid.

Thanks guys.. Brilliant as always.
