Tracing the Kerr Family Line

This blog is dedicated to tracing the genealogy of the Kerr (Karr) family line. The farthest I have been able to trace the line, thus far, is to Thomas Kerr and Ann Clarke. However, the information I have is on his son, Thomas. Other than Thomas and Ann being his parents, I have no other information.

Lillian married James I. Birmingham on 21 Jan 1919 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA. Marriage status: married. They were married shortly after James arrived. According to the 1930 census, he came over in 1919 and, eventually, became a naturalized citizen.

James was born on 12 Apr 1890 in England, died _____-_____-_____ in Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA, and was buried _____-_____-_____ in Mount Carmel Cemetery, Hillside, Cook, Illinois, USA.

James and Lillian had no children of which I am aware. In the 1920 Census, both are living with Alice McEvoy Kerr and her children - Catherine and Peter (the census says Petter) - at 6617 S. Bishop. By the 1930 Census, they were living on their own around 71st and Claremont.
