Danher/Fosters/Welfords/Kerrs....
One of my Danher families, Cecily Jane Danher, my great granddad's sister married Ralph Foster and they had 3 chandler shops in Liverpool, rags to riches and riches to rags story...but not fully all rags in the 3 generations of this family,... as they exemplified what it means to give back and being the charitable human being that you can be at your most... see... the family was started by the marriage of Ralph Foster and Cis Danher, and they had 2 Daughters, Mary and Jenny depicted in pics, there is Mary getting married to John Leslie Kerr, who my own gran was close to... and Mary Welford Foster became Mrs. John Kerr... they had 3 kids, 2 boys and girl, Audrey who is still residing in Winnipeg and actually a professor at the UofM.... the best part of this family was that they lived in an area close to the poor areas of Winnipeg and through their fraternity and church, John and Mary Kerr made sure that every child that went without at Christmas time got a prezzie... now is that not the greatest... the gigantic hearts of relations of mine, who knew how to do best after losing their own family fortunes and emigrated to Winnipeg and had to rebuild and give back... so proud of the Fosters/Welfords/Kerrs....now that is what is giving back is suppose to be and they did it with class!
