So where in Northern Ireland are your Carr/Kerr from? Mine are from
Ballynougher.

Carr is an Engish version of Kerr, Karr, and even some other phonetically
close names. Many legal records and news stories prior to the 1800s often
use all three spellings for the same person since many names were often
recorded using the phonetic variation chosen by the person writing the name.
I have the opposite in my paternal line, Kerr in Northern Ireland became
Carr in America. So, when researching the Carr name, remember to look under
all phonetic variations.

Hi! I recently when thru some old papers and found that my
grandparents
last name was once spelled CARR instead of KERR.. It was a grave stone
picture which I found it spelled Carr. Looking for Census records in
Canada from 1825-1900 for the name George Kerr(Carr) wife was Isabella.
George was born in April 1782 either in Ireland or Scotland. can anyone
help with this person?
Thanks
