Family Connections

Curry Greer Family History Page 3

The main concern is to find the missing info in red from pages 1, 2 and 3 etc.
We have most everything needed for our direct line after the year 1900.
But other connections are sought


Curry Origins ? We have no proof that the Robert Curry who married Sarah Greavy in 1805 was our G G Grandfather.
Word of mouth told us that our G Grandfather came from Anahilt, Co Down. This was the only Robert Curry found in any Anahilt records, but there is no trace of them or offspring after 1805.
However we did find a Robert Curry marrying Letitia Carson in Dromara in 1835 (not far from Anahilt).
Sarah Curry daughter of Robert and Letitia was married in Malone Presbyterian Church in 1856 to Alexander Dalzell and one witness was William Curry(1st).
And at the marriage of William Curry(1st) to Jane Johnston in 1857, Sarah and Alexander Dalzell witnessed !
The father of the Robert Curry who married Letitia Carson is noted as Robert Curry of Carnew, while a witness was a James Curry of Magheraconluce.

Consider the possibility that the Robert who married Letitia Carson was the father of William(1st) in a previous marriage.

OR that Robert, James and William were brothers,i.e.
sons of the original Robert.

Any
Curry descendants from Anahilt, Carnew or Magheraconluce ?
