Elizabeth Wilson Kerr


 

Not a lot is known about Elizabeth Wilson Kerr, apart from the fact that she was born in 1898, and died in 1985, and her headstone is inscribed with the words:

"PROUDLY RESTS HERE, LAST GRAVE
AULD SCOTTISH PIONEERS SECTION"


Presbyterian Section – Mornington Cemetery

Elizabeth Wilson Kerr (nee Collinson)'s parents were Robert Collinson and Margaret Kerr.

Elizabeth married William Stevenson Kerr, who was two years her senior.

They had three children - Alexander Glen Kerr, William Collinson Kerr, and Margaret Collinson Kerr.

Elizabeth and the children came to Australia in 1922, and their father followed in 1926.

They initially resided in Melbourne, after emigrating from Paisley by Glasgow, in the Renfrewshire area of Scotland.

Ironically, William Stevenson Kerr's parents were Alexander Kerr and Margaret Collinson.
