Hi Mary
According to Ancestry.com there is a James Kerr born in Kilwinning in every census from 1951 to 1901. 1851 he's 5 months old and has the correct parents. 1861 has been transposed as Herr rather than Kerr but has a correction note. 1871 is transposed as Ken instead of Kerr but once again a correction note. 1881 - 1901 has a James Kerr of Kilwinning, same age but either with a wife Jane or no wife listed, just children. Hope this helps a bit.
