I was wondering if anyone could help me with some information as to where to look!!! I am looking for the parents of John/Jon Kermode who was baptised in Kirk German on 1 April 1740. I know their names were Esther Kermod and John Patterson and that John/Jon was illigitimate. I have tried for a long time looking for John Patterson and whether he was already married and Esther, and whether she went on to be married with more children, but have hit so many brick walls! Could someone help as to where to look next? I would appreciate ANY information.
