Robert Kerr married Matilda Foreman on the 27th of December 1853, in Derryaghy, County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The Kerr family came out to Scotland from Ireland about 1882.
Many of the Kerr/McGreavy people were employed in the Flax Industry.
They worked in the Flax Fields with low pay, or in the Flax Mills which were very dangerous to health.
Flax workers were nearly all Irish and known to the Scots as 'Plantation People'.
