According to my research John Currie married Elizabeth Fulton. John was son of Robert Currie and Margaret Craig.
The Currie’s had a big reunion in 1869. It was reported in the local press.

The reunion was in 1867. John & Elizabeth's eldest son presided and 4 younger sons were there. They would be John, William, Hamilton & Matthew. According to the newspaper report there were 104 people there from 9 families. Those 9 families would be those of Katherine, Robert, Jean, John, William, Hamilton, Elizabeth, Betsy & Matthew. The 10th child, James, died without issue in 1861. Interesting that they must have kept enough contact with each other to make such a reunion possible.

Yes you are right 1867.

My family had an invitation card but it seems to have been lost.

I am descended fro Katherine Currie the daughter who married John Watson.

Do you have any photographs of the Currie sons and daughters?

No photos, I'm afraid.
