Kerr, Robert Head 28 Married Yeoman Scotland
Kerr, Margaret (Arbuckle) Wife 29 Married -- Scotland
Kerr, Jennett Dau 11 Single -- Scotland
Kerr, Christena Dau -- Single -- At Sea
The Kerr family is listed directly after Peter McNiven in the previous listing ... unfortunately when I was sent the copy of this census record, I was not familiar with Margaret Arbuckle's marriage to Robert Kerr and the rest of the family is on the next page, Christina being the last legible name. Her age is not clear but as listed, she was born at sea - near New Foundland. The other children presumed to be listed and born in Canada would be: John (1856); William (1858); and Robert (1860) providing they all survived infancy.
