Thanks for all the replies. Looks like the same people. I knew that Agnes was born in Tardree (she is my Gt Grandfathers sister) but didn't have any dates of emmigration to USA or any other family. I Know her brother James went out to her and married an American lady called Betty and some of my family were told that he also lived in Grosse point.
Would anyone know anything about them? Have attached photo of James
-
Do you have a date of birth for James? Was he older or younger than Agnes?
-
I don't have his date of birth etc but family think that Agnes was older than him. I know that he and Betty came back to Northern Ireland to visit family and sailed back on the Queen Elizabeth but I don't know when they sailed or where from/to.
Sorry I don't have more information but I have been told that he originally went over to America in the 1920s to join his sister and their family.

It will be in Aunt Sarah's bible which I have. I will get back to you..

Hi Maureen
I think I have just sent an email to your sister Sheri who contacted me through another subject heading for the Crothers family. I would love you all to get in contact with me. I have loads of photos and information on the Currie side of the family.
Please get in contact soon.
Thanks
