Dumfriesshire / Re: Currie Family - James Currie & Jane Sloan, Annan Parish
« on: Sunday 22 February 15 21:59 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you Nan.  I am excited with the possibility of finding out more of my mother's family.  I know quite a lots about my father's Highlands ancestors (I visited there in 1989) but the Currie side has always been a mystery to me.  Thank you for your support.  Leonie

Dear  Nan

Thank you for your information - anything relating to the forebears of Charles Currie and Jane Sloan  is of interest to me.  If you can give me the details of Adam's birth certificate, I'd much appreciate it.

My husband and I are visiting the UK in May 2016 and will be travelling between Ayr and Gretna Green while on that trip.  We'd love to be able to view any buildings eg houses or schools which have family significance.  If you know of any, please tell me - we'd love to stop enroute and view where our ancestors lived/played/worked.  Thank you.

Sincerely
Léonie

-----------------------------

I'm also holding an old birthday book and these names appear:

Beverley Jacobsen  b 8/1/1928   
August (or Auguste) Currie  26/7/?
Mavis Currie  b 30/10/1910   

Does anyone know how they fit into our family.

I look forward to reading your replies.

Kind regards
Leonie Litten
