Hi Ellie,

She’s not the right one. This one married John Isaac Dibb in 1911 Hoghton Lancashire. Her father was a William Kerr.

A few more questions. Where did the title "Captain" come from? Have got or seen a copy of his death certificate and his birth certificate?

There is a probate for a James Kerr 1908.

This was the one who died in Nantwich Road, Crewe, 15th February 1908. Seems like he had a wife Ann and 2 sons Ewan McKinnon Kerr and John Kerr.
