Hi Joanne

Is this Daniel any use to you?

Daniel McKERCHER b 16 Nov 1843 & ch 28 Nov 1843 Tibbermore, Perthshire son
of Thomas McKERCHER & Janet McGREGOR. He m Sarah PATERSON 15 Jun 1866
Edinburgh St Cuthberts. I only know of 2 children, Mary Forshaw b 16 Mar
1867 Edinburgh & Jessie McGregor b 7 Jan 1870 Edinburgh. Here is the family
in 1881:

Dwelling: 2 Romilly Place
Census Place: Edinburgh St Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Scotland

Daniel MC KERCHER, Head, M, 47 (37?), Letter Carrier, Tibbermuir, Perth
Sarah MC KERCHER, Wife, M, 33 F Polmont, Stirling
Mary F. MC KERCHER, Daur, U, 14, Scholar, Edinburgh, Edinburgh
Jessie M. MC KERCHER, Daur, U, 11, Scholar, Edinburgh, Edinburgh
David CHALMERS, Lodger, U, 26, Railway Stoker, Stronsay, Orkney
Walter BROWN, Lodger, U, 21, Railway Goods Shunter, Nemphlar ?, Lanark


It can't be *your* Daniel obviously, but he may be related - the McKERCHER
name seems to be interchangable with McKERRACHER.

Regards
Elaine
