Today we have a small look at a reality of almost all families and that is losing a younger family member before their time. The death certificate is for Joseph Petwin Kerr, who was just a young lad, 10 years old and had the misfortune of drowning in the river Thames of London. Evidently, he was bathing/swimming in the Thames and drown before he could be saved. His father was William Kerr my 2X great grandfather, who was a broker/house agent. It’s so important ‘not’ to forget those who passed away so young.
