I started pottering with my family tree a number of years ago but since I have retired I have decided to research the  various parts of my family with renewed vigor.  With the help of a few distant relatives, I have been able to expand  my family tree fourfold.  The Kerrs in Scotland, the Pedlers in England and Australia, as well as some remarkable  help which has enabled me to find the family (the Days) that my grandparents left behind near Manchester.

I have also found a branch of the Kerr family in Australia that I did not know existed and I look forward to meeting  them some day.

It has so far been a fascinating journey but is a 'work in progress'.  My thanks to those who have assisted me.

My aim was to hand the information on to my children and grandchildren and I believe what I have already collected  will certainly provide them with a good start.
