Hello my name is Alison and I'm trying to trace relatives named Kerr.

My grandfather was Alfred Brand Kerr born1893 in Arbroath. He was killed 21/11/1917 in France in WW2. He was a Lance Corporal in the 1st/7th Battallion Gordon Highlanders. He married my grandmother Ann Taylor Duthie in Aberdeen on 25th February 1916. My mother Winifred Brand Kerr was born 30th November 1916 but he never saw her as he was killed Feb.1917. He was the son of Alexander Kerr born Glasgow 01/07/1857 and Jane Swan Croall born 19/10/1854 in Arbroath. Alexander died in 1894 and Jane died 1911 in Arbroath. I know none of my grandfather's relatives and would love to hear from any of them. I live in Aberdeen not too far away from Arbroath.
