Kerrs of Malahide and Swords connection
DublinMalahide (Dublin)
Hello.
Does anyone know if there is a connection between the Kerrs of the early 19th century at Malahide and Swords in County Dublin?
I have tried finding the parents of Richard Carr/Kerr who married Mary Clegg.
Richard and Mary Kerr's son William was baptised on July 30th 1812 in Swords parish.
John and Dorothea Kerr's son William was baptised on August 26th 1812 in Malahide. Does anyone know if John and Richard Kerr were brothers or cousins?
The Kerrs apparently came to the Dublin area from Scotland as shipbuilders. Not sure if that is true.
Best regards,
