A scholar and surgeon of international acclaim he won both the Katherine Bishop Harman Prize in 1934 for his book Maternal Mortality and Morbidity (1933) and was the first recipient of the Blair Bell Medal for obstetrics and gynaecology. Sometime of of Starr's House, Canterbury, co. Kent His grand daughter, Janet, maried Peter Shand Kydd (1925-2006) John Martin Munro Kerr was born in Glasgow on 5th December, 1868. His father was a ship-owner, and the same newspaper which intimated the birth of the baby announced on the advertisement page that three of the firm's vessels were loading at the docks in readiness for their departure-the fine Clipper Barque "Tuisco", 360 tons, to the Barbados; the Beautiful Clipper Schooner "Menthorn", 219 tons, to Bahia; and the Handsome Clipper Barque "Mary Ada", 328 tons, to St. Vincent and Granada-details which convey more clearly than mere dates the significance of ninety-two years.
