I have been looking into the name also. My paternal grandmother was Isabella Corrie who married John William Carruthers in 1916. My great grandfather was John Corrie.

Re: James White Corrie/Arretta Peters

elmore48 — 2012-02-03 18:56:55Z

Thanks guess I am just still confused, The james White Corrie has a different date on his tombstone and was reportedly born in maryland. There is a census listing both he and Aryon (not sure of spelling was probably Arie or arreta) lists Maryland as their birth palce

Re: James White Corrie/Arretta Peters

wedgewood149 — 2012-02-03 18:42:51Z

My James was born about 1802, and died in 1852, so it is either a mistake or there is another James White Corrie. I have found that if a child dies, the parents do name another child with the same name.

Re: James White Corrie/Arretta Peters

elmore48 — 2012-02-03 17:37:35Z

Thanks yes it makes the most sense except on his tombstone his birthdate is listed as 1797. Do you think that is a mistake? I think someone made an error on something just not sure what. There were Corrie's in maryland James and mary died in the early 1805/6 and wonder if this could have been there parents

Re: James White Corrie/Arretta Peters

wedgewood149 — 2012-02-03 17:10:35Z

The information I have on James White Corrie is as follows:
He was born in Scotland about 1802, died in Lawrenece County, Illinois 9 July, 1852. He married Arretta E. Peters 14 Nov 1821 in Pickaway County, Ohio. His father, William Corrie was born April 1766/67 in the Parish of Irongray, Scotland. He married Ann Dunwoodie in Borque, Scotland on 31 July, 1794. Hope this helps

Re: James White Corrie/Arretta Peters

elmore48 — 2012-02-02 23:32:24Z

I too have come to a dead end on the parentage of James White Corrie, most want to link him to birth in Baltimore in 1797 and make his father William and mother grace which makes no sense.

Re: Corrie family from Vancouver Island

Freedom66 — 2011-10-04 21:32:26Z

The Corrie family came from England and lived at Gimli, Manitoba, Priddis, Alberta and later Sooke, B.C.
Some of the relatives moved to California and Hawaii.

My sister may have information for you. Our family is also from Broad Top and originated in Scotland. Look for Angela Corrie Bartholomew. She is on ancestry.com and on facebook. Thanks!

Re: Jersey Mae Corrie

misselissa1 — 2011-07-04 15:37:53Z

Check out the book Witching for William by Evelyn Mae Corrie Birkby. She also has access to a lot of Corrie family records. We have a very distant relative named Fred Corrie, he is on Facebook, who has done extensive research on his family. This may help.

Hi Stephanie,
I have been out of this for a few years due to work pressures, and back into it again to get my research completed. No I have not come across your Corrie or Theresa (Doyle). Our Corries seemed to lose their Corrie surnames names during the mid 1800s for Currie. Best wishes, George Currie - NZ

JAMES Currie b.abt 1834-5 Dumfries Scot son of George&Janet

GeorgeCurrieNZ — 2011-03-14 09:22:24Z

I am endeavouring to find information on this James Currie (may have been born a Corrie) who was most likely born around 1834/5 period in the eastern boundary of the Closeburn Parish, near the River Ae, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. His parents were George Currie/Corrie (agricultural labourer) and Janet (nee Fisher). James had many brothers and sisters. Janet m. Thomas Johnstone od "Slongaber" Farm near Dumfries. Jane (a spinster), Sarah m.? Agnes m. Joseph Kerr. Elizabeth m. John Duff. John Fisher (my Grt G'father) m. Elizabeth Thorburn. Charles believed to have gone to Canada and George to USA after Canada. There may have been a Henrietta who died in her early teens. I am interested to find out more on this James Currie, what happened to him, who did he marry etc? Thanks for any information. Best wishes, George Currie - Methven, New Zealand

Re: James White Corrie/Arretta Peters

wedgewood149 — 2011-03-11 22:03:34Z

I am researching my husband's family on his mother's side. Jersey Mae Corrie was his grandmother and her gggrandfather is William Corrie, he has a son James White Corrie. I do not have a postive birth date, I have about 1802 and he was born in Scotland. The family ended up in Lawerence Co., Illinois. I don't have much information, but would be happy to share what I have.

Are you familiar with Evelyn Corrie Birkby's book, "Witching for William?" She includes lots of details of her Corrie family branch who immigrated to Illinois from Scotland.

Re: Corries/Curries of Dumfriesshire Sct 1800s

myexpandingtree — 2010-10-17 20:37:59Z

My g, g, grandfather, John Corrie, b. 1840 married Elizabeth Grierson, Jan. 29, 1864 in Rerrick Parish, Kirkcudbright and lists his parents as Robert Corrie/Currie and Margaret Burnett. They immigrated to Huntingdon county, Pennsylvania, USA in 1874 with their four sons; John James, George, William and Alexander. John was a coal mining engineer, he engineered the tunnels that transported workers and coal. His sons and several generations followed in the PA. coal mining industry until the 1940's. At this point I do not know who Robert's parents were, any help would be appreciated.

I have traced my Corrie family back to the marriage of Jonah Corrie and Elizabeth/Betty Hodgson at All Saints Church, Cockermouth, on the 13th June 1791. Do you know any more about them? I am descended through their son Jonah(born 1800 Threlkeld) It would be good to hear what you have found about the Corries at that time.

Re: Cumberland Corries

Dear Anne
Did I let you know that I came across your Jonah's death entry of 1856?
Thanks for looking up "my" Jonah on Genes reunited.

Re: Cumberland Corries

JoyceCorrie72 — 2008-02-11 12:44:23Z

Dear Anne
Thankyou for your reply. This is the best piece of information I have received so far. I will get onto the Genes Reunited to see what I can find out. I have a feeling that Teresa is also looking for the same Jonah Corrie, as we are distant cousins.
Many thanks again
Joyce

Re: Cumberland Corries

RottenKnees — 2008-02-08 00:45:48Z

Sorry Joyce have no information on Jonah but information on the Cumberland Corrie's is an area I have little information, he saying goes we are all related please keep in touch.

Re: Cumberland Corries

Anne_Hedley — 2008-02-02 10:22:09Z

Hi, Joyce, it's me again.

I'm a memeber of www.gemesreuntied.co.uk

I've done a check of Jonah Corrie, and there are 2 people on that site who have a Jonah Corrie -

Theresa has J C born 1801 in Cumberland and a J C born 1780 Cumberland.

Roger has J C born 1800 Threlkeld Cumberland and J C born 1780 area N/K.

If you go onto Genes Reunited, you can do a search and find these matches, but if you want to contact them you will have to join, It's not expensive, I think about £10 for 6 months, You cound try tracing other memebers to see what matches, and then decid whether you wish to contact these.

Best wishes

Anne

Re: Cumberland Corries

Anne_Hedley — 2008-02-02 09:57:26Z

Hi, Joyce,

I suspect that our Jonah's are related - perhaps cousins - as it is a fairly unusual name, and especially coming from the Cumberland area. The Corries seem to have originated from there. The surname Corrie has been handed down our family as a Christian name - My great aunt was Hannah Corrie Palmer.

If you find out anything about the Corries, would you let me know, please?

Happy hunting,

Anne

Re: Cumberland Corries

JoyceCorrie72 — 2008-02-02 01:53:18Z

Hello Anne
Nice to hear from you.
I also found your Jonah on the LDS website, and I found that your Jonah died in 1856, in Cumberland, whereas my Jonah died in 1860, in Brixton London, at the age of 62. I have his death certificate. So unfortunately they are not the same person.
I am looking at the possibility, of a miss spelt way of spelling the family name of Corrie.I even visited Carlisle Record Office last year to check some of the parish registers. A friend and myself spent many hours trawling through the films in the library, but could not find any leads to progress the finding of the parish of where my Jonah was born. I live in Perth Western Australia, so it is quite a long journey to Cumberland, but I hope to visit again perhaps in 2009.
I wish you every success with your family tree.
Good Luck
Joyce Corrie

Re: Cumberland Corries

Anne_Hedley — 2008-01-27 16:24:57Z

Hi, Joyce,

The Corries in my tree are born mainly in Bridekirk, cumberland. 'My' Jonah was born 20/04/1806.

In case this is any use to you, 'my' Jonah's parents were Henry 1770 and Ann Murgatroyd. Siblings were James 1788, Mary 1790, Henry 1794, Martha(gt gt gt granddmother)1795, Dinah 1797, John 1802, Jonah 1806 and Jonathan 1808.

I haven't followed the Corries down other than Martha. Most of the info above is from the IGI, and I haven't checked it further.

Nice to hear from a Corrie, Martha married a Palmer and that is the name down to my mother

I would be interested to know what info you have on the Corrries.

Best wishes

Anne

Please tell me the names of John Robert Corrie's parents.

John Robert Corrie

abigailforster1977 — 2007-01-31 12:40:22Z

John Robert Corrie, born c.1862, was my great great grandfather. He was born in Lancashire and appears on 2 census after his marriage but none that I can find before.
He married Eliza Cullen and had four daughters and one son. His daughters were Elizabeth, Annie, Bearice and Ida (my great grandmother) and his son was named George.
My mother thinks that John's father was Scottish and family myth has it that his profession is listed as "gentleman" on John's birth certificate.
If anyone knows anything about this family I'd love to hear from you.

I have now found that a John Corrie and family left Dumfriesshire "for Melbourne".
Does anyone know which John Corrie this is and could it tie up with my John Corrie and family who were at Kilmark in 1841 and not listed in the 1851 census? The John Corrie at Kilmark was 50 in 1841.

Hello George,
Here's another Corrie to add to your list.
My tree has a Robert CORRIE b.circa 1826 somewhere in Scotland married circa 1846 to Margaret BURNETT.
Their child; Jane Johnstone CORRIE married a William JOHN (b.circa 1845 in Kerrick, Scotland) in March 1873, in Scotland.
Their son, Thomas JOHN b; 1876 in Kerrick,Scotland was the father of my father Harold, born 1930 in Melbourne, Australia.
At least we ended up in the same hemisphere!
