Hi Sandra, I've sent you a snipped image of the passenger list from Choccy's link, just in case you don't have access to Ancestry. |

As you know your father's birth name, his mother's name, and his DOB, and as you are NOK, you MIGHT be able to get a copy of his birth cert through this site (I'm assuming you have his death cert?): |

Its so hard to get a birth certificate, you must have a guarantor, who is a Canadian person of professional standing!! I don't know any Canadian professionals. Therefore I have to write a letter to explain why I cannot provide a guarantor. :-( Has anyone else done this and were you successful in getting your certificate? |

I don't want to put her on the spot but 'our Joonie' is a "Canadian person of professional standing" - perhaps she could help here - If not, perhaps she could advise you where to look ??? |

Dont know if this has any connection to this search with such common names into the mix. |

OMG this is nearly too much to take in!!!!!! There really was a John Kerr!! This states his wife was Margaret McKee but I have tried to find a marriage certificate but I can't. I wonder why she came back here with a young baby?? |

I have seached on Familysearch website for his birth certificate. Would she have needed to have one to take him back to Ireland on the ship?? |

Birth records in Ontario are not publicly accessible until 100 years after the birth. |

I just wanted to confirm that the 1926 passenger list that Jonnie posted for Margaret going to Canada is correct: |

1921 census did not show anyone related at that address .......... |

Sandra...Just a thought....If Margaret required a passport to go to Canada she would have had it in the name McKee..absolutely nothing to stop her using the same passport to travel back to Ireland even if she was married. |

Of course, you are right. She would have had a passport. |

Well my husband has had a brainwave! My Dad used to say that his mum & dad eloped to Canada to get married, as they were not permitted to wed at home. He said one was wealthy and one was poor. |

Some passenger lists do give information about the person a passenger is going to, and the address. All the 1926 list says for Margaret is that she is 19, a housekeeper, and intending to reside permanently in Canada. |
