No luck with Agnus at all nor anything earlier with Peter.

Data is from *A* and Scottish, therefore only index viewed not actual image.

what does 'a' mean in sherrie family tree?

*A* is my way of saying Ancestry.co.uk, but it is a commercial site therefore no links allowed.

[popsy21]

sorry for being so dumb, realised after i sent last reply to you that it was them that you meant. think the tree you got info from belongs to me. i been trying for three years to find ancestors and got bit carried away when found this site and actually got reply. thanx again for your help.

well the dates all tie in with my agnes but ithought her mother was mary ann kerr, but i may be mistaken i will have to look out her marriage certs again and check. i see if it is my agnes she had a sister mary so maybe it is my mistake. i will check this out tomorrow as having trouble keeping awake. will let you know how i get on as soon as. meanwhile, thanx again.

[popsy21]

well dug out info i have and my agnes kerr born c.1873 is daughter of mary ann kerr. agnes i think was illegitimate and mary ann went on to marry a william thomson, woodcutter. all i know of him is that he was deceased by the time agnes died in 1940. dont know where to go not, as mary ann now turning up anywhere i look!

I would look at the original images via scotlandspeople It may give more info than the A site one.It also allows you to see neighbours on the same page which may be helpful.
You have to register & it's pay-to-view but very reasonable.
