Things are cold!!! There is just no other way to put it other than since
just before New years we have acquired huge snow banks.

Edward J. Kerr is listed as the youngest child of Sarah & Benjamin on the
1851 census. On the 1881 census for Crosby South only their son, Benjamin is
listed as living with them. I don't have the 1871 census for Benjamin &
Sarah.

If you don't mind I would appreciate it if you could check the land grants
at the Sask. Archives.

Just to add a twist to my problem an Edward Kerr is supposed to have married
a niece of Sarah "Powell" Kerr, Benjamin's wife. I have been finding
several of Sarah's brother, David Powell's, daughters in the Moose Jaw area.
Haven't found an Edward Kerr yet though!

I checked the Automated Genealogy Site for both 1901 & 1906 & the Deloraine
History Book and there is no mention of an Edward Kerr. If they lived in the
Deloraine area it must have been just for a brief period of time.
