NotesParents: Martha Haveron married John Kerr at the First IM Presbyterian Church, on May 21, 1886. Mary's mother died in 1895 in Belfast and the girls were eventually removed from their father, John Kerr.

In 1901, Mary Kerr, 9 years of age, was shown as a boarder with Samuel and Phoebe Parker and family at Pulloxhill Village, Bedfordshire, England. (Source: 1901 Census of England, Class: RG13; Piece: 1502; Folio: 72; Page: 27.)

In 1901, Maggie Kerr, 12 (and her sister Mary Kerr, 9), arrived in Quebec, Canada, along with a group of 105 Barnardo children en route to Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

Mary Kerr in 1907 was living in a city called Hawthorne.

Mary married James Cunningham and had at least two children Audrey born in 1914 and Jimmy born in about 1917. They may have moved to the United States.
