Alexander married Margaret Campbell in Kilfinan, on 25 Oct 1819. He was the Session Clerk, Kilfinan, Church of Scotland. Would be interested in hearing from anyone descended from their children, who were:
1. Archibald KERR Kilfinan born 4th and baptized the 9th Septr 1820;
2. Margaret KERR Kilfinan born Septr 10th & baptd 15th 1821;
3. Alexander KERR Kilfinan born 1st & baptized 5th June 1823 (this chap may have died young as another Alexander KERR was born in 1841);
4. Mary KERR Kilfinan born 20th & baptised 30th July 1825;
5. James KERR Kilfinan born April 13th & baptd April 25th 1827;
6. Norman KERR Kilfinan born 2d & baptized 24th May 1829;
7. Peter KERR Kilfinan born May 18th and baptized Augt 16th 1831;
8. Isabella KERR Kilfinan born the 15th January & baptized Feby 24th 1833;
9. Duncan KERR Kilfinan born May 6th and baptized May 18th 1836;
10. Flora KERR Kilfinan born 19th and baptized 28th April 1838;
11. Alexander KERR Kilfinan born 7th & baptized 17th October 1841;
12. Colin McEwing KERR Kilfinan, born October 14th 1843 & baptized Jany 12th 1844.
There is also a connection with Portugal. Jessie, James, and Alexander KERR were grandchildren who were born in Portugal in 1851, 1852, and 1857, respectively. May have been the children of Archibald KERR. This chap married Emilia Rosa de Oliveira two of whose children, Archibald KERR (1846), and Emilia KERR(1847) were born in Kilfinan Parish. Appears that the children might have been raised in the Church of Scotland. Any advice regarding research of British subjects in Portugal would be appreciated. Incidentally, Alexander KERR and Margaret Campbell appear to have moved to Maxwell, Glasgow by the 1871 census. Margaret Campbell was a daugher of Archibald Campbell and Margaret Campbell who married in Kilfinan in 1796. Margaret was born on 1800.
