Hi there,

My great grandmother is the daughter of Robert Corrie with his wife Lydia. I just knew 2 of her sisters Mita and Charlotte. If Benjamin is their brother, could u please tell me if you know if they have other siblings?

Regards,
Elizabeth

Hi Dunscore,

Im one of the descendants of Robert Corrie with his second wife (Lydia). I know just 3 of their daughters. They are my great grandmother, Mita who resided in the Marshall Islands and Charlotte.

My great grandmother (forgot her name sorry) was married to a man from Maiana named Tamaroa. They have 2 daughters named Bitaa Elizabeth (my grandmother) and Teuea Florence and they have sons too. So in my case the family tree from Robert Corrie is like this.

Robert Corrie and Lydia > My great grandmother > My grandmother (Bitaa Elizabeth) > My mother Georgina and then myself

I know more about Charlotte because she was looking after my mum since my mum was a little girl until she got married and we were born. Charlotte didn't marry and she took care of my mum (my mum's mother passed away when my mum was a little girl). Charlotte died in our home when I was about between 6-8 years old (cant really remember).

I know little about Mita because she was living in the Marshall Islands but I knew that Mita and her children and grandchildren used to visit my family in Kiribati (Mita visiting her sister Charlotte) from time to time when I was little. I have pictures of Charlotte and her sister Mita.

You did mention that Robert Corrie is your great grandfather and Robert Corrie is my great great grandfather then you are definitely my uncle. I am so happy that this website has allowed me to get to know some of my close relatives from the Corrie family living outside Kiribati.

I knew my Corrie family in Kiribati but want to know more about others who reside now in other parts of the globe. Take care
