Hello and welcome 

This looks a likely family - Donegal/Derry and a second marriage by the looks of it.

Hi.

Margaret Curran is/was my 3C1XR. Her mother was Catherine Stevenson, whose father was Joseph Stevenson, my  GGG-GF. Her father was Patrick Curran, his father was Charles Curran.

I have some details on that side of the tree, if you’re interested..

I don’t know much about James Black, sorry, other than his father was James Black too!

Cheers...

Hmm should have checked further.

Rebecca Margaret Sherrard   - mother Esther Lamrock, father Thomas Sherrard.

 Esther and Thomas were married 19 April 1864. Two witnesses Thomas Smith and an Andrew Nutt, who could have been my great grandfather on my paternal side.

The Stevenson’s are maternal relatives.

Must investigate further....
