I have todate been unable to trace either of them since that date with no record in 1911 census or death records.
I have since learned that they may have gone to the USA (Mich)and as I cannot find a death record in the UK they must have stayed there.
Can anyone help in confirming any of the above please as I do not have access to US records
Many Thanks......Norm in Oz
I found several family trees on Ancestry that state a Thomas Matthew Kerr died 19 April 1958 Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA and Eliza died 13 Nov 1956 • Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA . If you have access to Ancestry (or can get a free trial period), the link below has copies of official documents (census etc). You will also find details of their children. If the link doesn't work, it is the Gordon Family Tree, a public tree, run by a Teresa Galloway, and it might be a good idea to contact her, They evidently emigrated in 1909.
Hope this helps
