You may stumble upon it one day>

but

there is a chap called Curry Goat,  now before u ask he probably had a Nanny and a Billy in the family.

Now ol Curry did get into some grief cos he broke into a house and the window broke.

The next I heard of ol Curry is that he had a son,  who he promptly named Curry.

Well Curry junior he got into grief as one would with a name like that, cos the poor blighter got sent to India to do some fighting for the British Army.

Now before u ask  did Curry Goat actually try some curried goat or curried anything in India , well that is a question we may all ponder.

So if you go to family search, the census and the freebmduk u will see a lot of goats, and curry may come your way.....
