Hi Scully,

I found Mary's death; age: 67
 4th January 1951 at 10A, McLean Street, Ayr. Present, son, George Currie of 34, Lochside Road, Ayr.
Parents John Manson - Boilermaker and Elizabeth Manson nee Aird, both deceased. Died of Chronic Bronchitis and Myocarditis and Asthma. Registered at St. Quivox. Name given: Mary Russell Currie married to Samuel Currie, which seems to indicate that Samuel was still alive in 1951.
In their marriage cert. Mary's parents are given as John Manson = boilermaker and Elizabeth Manson nee Russell.
I am continuing to search for Samuel's death as I have been going on my great aunt Ann Watson 22nd marriage she is listed as a widow and I presumed that Samuel had died in WW1
I have searched WW1 records for him many times. Am I chasing the wrong Samuel Currie whose parents are also George Currie and Sarah Irvine ???

Re: Samuel Currie.
I have Samuel in my family, I have searched over the years and am pretty sure our Samuels are the same.
My Details are:
Samuel born 1882 to George Currie and Sarah Irvine (Irving) living at 8 Reids Square in 1891 census.
Samuel was a private and drummer in the Boer War 1899 to 1902.
I have found the marriage to Mary Manson in 1908.
Did Mary die before 1915?
I have Samuel married to my great aunt Ann Watson in Inverness , bachelor, on 27/12/1915. At this time he was stationed at Newton Camp at Cromarty, Scotland, My great aunt lived in Cromarty.
He is with the 2nd Battalion Seaforth Highlanders service number 6936. Parents George Currie and Sarah Irvine ( Irving).
Hr has a medal record to 1916.
My great aunt Ann Watson remarried in Inverness 25/02/1919 and she listed as a widow. I have never been able to find a death certificate for Samuel despite several years searching.

Are you able to solve my puzzle re Samuel or was he a bigamist?

Regards from NZ
Min Walker

Hi Alistair,
found your message when browsing. I think your Ann Macdonald is my great great grandmother.
married 5 March 1830 to John Fraser, mason, by Rev. Kennedy , Redcastle.
I found this family after a long search. Their daughter Ann was my great grandmother.

Does anyone have ties to:
John Fraser born about 1807 a mason, married to Ann Macdonald born about 1809,
married on 5th March 1830 by Rev. Kennedy, Redcastle. John was from Culbokie and Ann
from Drumore. At 1861 census they were living at Druim Mhoir.
They were my great, great grandparents
I only know about their daughter Ann born 1836, lived at Braes of Dunvornie, my great gradmother.
