This a pretty shoddy biography, here's a much better source[edit]

There is a fantastic and very detailed biography of William Kerr, all based on the primary sources, and all freely available online here https://archive.org/stream/correspondenceof00bann#page/n82/mode/1up. Apologies for dropping and running, but i don't have the time myself to update the article, but if anyone fancies it all the info you could want is at the above link Lewisly (talk) 22:01, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
