Hi Ree

I think that Thomas' parents were Thomas Curran and Jane Curran (nee Fox)

Thanks

Hi Jane

I'm sure that we have photos of Catherine's siblings Ellen and Edward Curran in their later years. I'll dig them out next time I visit my mum and send you a copy of them and the picture of Thomas.

Hi Jane

Thanks for the offer of information about the Lamonts, I'd be very grateful and haven't started looking on that side yet.

I'm related to the Currans/Lamonts on my mum's side. My grandparents (her parents) were first cousins - Ellen (Ella) being the daughter of Edward Curran, and Edward (Eddie) being the son of Ellen Curran and Arthur McConnachie; as you probably know, Edward and Ellen were children of Thomas and Mary Jane.

Tracing the McConnachie's has been very easy but not so the Currans in Ireland, so I was about to switch to the Lamonts..

I started looking into the Curran roots because my mum has a picture of Thomas Curran (or at least we think it's him). I'll post a photo of it if you're interested?


Thanks again


Steve

Hi Jane,
Thomas Curran and Mary Jane Lamont were my g.g.grandparents. I've been trying, with very little knowledge of the best approach to take, to find out where he came from in Ireland. I've only seen the Scottish wedding certificate and census entries thereafter.
I have a few clues from relatives. My gran believed that "he was from Ireland - right at the top of Ireland"and a great aunt thinks that he was from Antrim and lived on the coast.
I believe that two of his daughters married McConnachies in Lanarkshire and my gran thought that Thomas Curran knew Michael McConnachie (their father) in Ireland before they both moved to Lanarkshire and ended up living in Omoa Square, Cleland. The McConnachie's seem to have moved to Lanarkshire from the Lurgan area.
I hope this might be of some help.
Steve
