Could someone who has access to Naval records please see if they can find a death for James Duncan Kerr. I know he was born in West Lothian, Scotland around 1825/6. He married Jessie Hamilton. I have found Jessie on 1851 census, no James. Their children are on 1861 census with an aunty. Not been able to find him on any census. I know Jessie remarried a Robert Young. I have looked on Scotlands People for his death but nothing that fits. On Jessie's death cert. it says James was a sea captain. Just wondered if he died at sea. |

If he was in the Royal Navy you could check The National Archives site. If his record is there it will cost you £3.50 to download. |
