- James Kerr baptized 3 Sep 1804 at Greenlaw, Berwickshire, son of John Kerr or Carse and Isabel Aitcheson
One man named James Kerr married Mary Lawson in 1830 with the usual 2 ceremonies: first at Ladykirk, Berwickshire on 30 May 1830; second at Coldstream, Berwickshire, 4 June 1830. But which James Kerr was it? They went on to have at least 8 known children.

Kerr-10084 and Kerr-1686 appear to represent the same person because: Both have the same vitae, linked / married to the same spouse

Kerr-10084 and Kerr-1686 are not ready to be merged because: Same name, same date of birth, same wife. But admittedly there was more than one James Kerr in Berwickshire.
