Norman Kerr – brief summary so far!
Married 7 Mar 1826 Assynt (044/2) to Margaret McLeod
Children: Margaret 23 Feb 1823 FR191
Margaret 13 Apr 1834 FR222
Merrian 23 Mar 1829 FR211
John 17 Mar 1827 FR207
Donald 15 Sep 1831 FR216
Norman Kerr born in Scotland around the right time – 26 Apr 1800 in Assynt (044/1 FR15) to Murdoch Kerr and Christian Mackenzie. Possible siblings (044/1 Assynt): John Kerr, 9 Jun 1812; Rodk Kerr, Jan 1811 – father on index as Murdo Kerr but no mother listed.
Norman’s death cert from 15 Aug 1865 (parents Murdo Kerr, farmer and Christina Mackenzie*). He died in Wick and the informant was Colin McRae, cousin. Norman’s wife was listed as Isabella Macdonald! I found a second marriage, to Bell McDonald on 25 Mar 1851 in Assynt (044/2) so presumably Margaret must have died.
i need some help with these families trying to find more info and on the siblings and trying to locate margaret mcleod deaths and murdoch kerr and christian mckenzie i know nothing of them so far bar they are normans parents
any help would be deeply appreciated thanks Michele

Hi ShellDeLeo
A look at the OPR for the birth of the children might, if you are lucky, reveal a little more - things like farmer at wherever, or tenant or weaver or some other occupation & perhaps a place name.
The Margaret McLeod/Kerr death looks likely to be pre-1855 (from the second marriage date). Again, a check on the OPRs to see if deaths exist for that parish would be worth checking, try:
http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/famrec/h ... r-cov.html
and if not, then MIs (monumental inscriptions) for the area.
Not sure where you are situated, but you can order any OPR film from your local LDS Family History Centre for a small fee if you are not able to look them up in Scotland.
Best wishes
