Research Notes

From bjattrill Dec 07, 2019 (Ancestry.com messaging):- "I was under the impression that Rose and William went to live with their Mother's sister and her family after their mother died - Mary (nee Anderson and William). Fiona"

From Sue Hickey relating to Rose's half brother:- "William Christian Kerr never married. He was in an orphanage with his half sister Rose Elizabeth following their mother Jemima Kerrs death 14 days after he was born. (1914) We are trying to source info about any orphanage they may have been in?"

Birth, Death and Marriage documentation is needed. Can anyone provide this? I would be happy to add these if copies (e.g. birth certificates) were sent to me Mayes-1296 06:29, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

This is a bare bones biography and anyone, especially anyone with personal recollections, is welcome to improve it, See the biography for Bill Jones for one way of improving this profile. I would be happy to add information if sent to me Mayes-1296 06:29, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

The photos are very short of detail. Anyone is welcome to improve the information supporting them (place, date, occasion, any recollections) or send me the information for inclusion Mayes-1296 06:29, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
