Re: Currin family near Spiddal Ireland

Killannin25 — 2010-08-23 07:44:07Z

Hi Margaret,

I attach a copy of explanatory note regarding this post,
from the National Archive, Bishop Street, Dublin -
www.nationalarchives.ie.

Unfortunately, very few are available.

RC records and in many instances State records are not available prior to 1870, due to political instability
in Ireland. Killannin has no RC parish records prior to
1875 and Knock/Inverin which had been a part of Killannin is
similar.

Regards,

Jim

Thank you for answering>
My Folan family lived next door to the currins in Keerun.
One sister by the name of Kate stayed their all her life.
My Uncle Peter went to Canada in the 1920.s he later moved to St. Paul MN in 1950 to be near his sister-my Mother Nora-
I remember him taking trips (down East) in the 50's and 60's
he died in 1972.
I remember my Mother always talking kindly of the Currins her neighbors next door. they might have also been related.
I don't know if my Grandfather William had any brothers or
sisters.
I seen a letter that my Mothers sister wrote to her- saying how good the Currins were about sending home packages to Ireland for the Currin kids.
If you have any info I would appreicate it.

Re: currin family

LettieCurrin — 2010-03-22 01:23:52Z

Diana, any information you can supply will be so appreciated! I've just begun this search and immediately hit a dead end. The older folks who could have illuminated the situation are long gone and my husband seems never to have inquired. His grandfather was Thomas Robert Currin, known as T.R., died 1947 in Ardmore, Alabama. It is my understanding that this branch of the family, after coming from Ireland (?) and settling for a time in North Carolina, eventually moved to Tn/Al. Thanks for any info. lfcurrin@aol.com or hotmail.com

Re: CURRIN

LettieCurrin — 2010-03-22 01:10:42Z

Gordon, could one of the three Currin brothers you mention be Thomas Robert who settled in Ardmore, Alabama (right on the Al/Tn border)? T.R., as my husband's grandfather was known, lived there until his death in 1947. He married a widow (?) called 'Nannie' Gatlin and had 3 sons and 1 daughter. He was a good and honest man, well respected and kind. Lettie (lfcurrin@hotmail.com)

Re: Currin

LettieCurrin — 2010-03-22 00:26:58Z

Glad to hear that someone is making progress with the Currin line. It's rather 'late in the day' for me to begin trying to discover my husband's family as most all the older ones are now gone so there's no one to ask.

Hope this information is helpful to your own search:

Van Buren Currin (1904-1971) m. Helen Pauline Commons b.1914 d.1975 or '76 Fayetteville, Tennessee
Thomas Robert Currin (1863-1947) m. 'Nannie' Gatlin (widow) Ardmore, Alabama
(children of T.R.: Van Buren (4 sons), Wilburn (no children), Woodard (1 son, 1 daugher) and Annie Lee (never married).

I believe this branch of the Currin family moved from North Carolina to southern Tennessee and northern Alabama long ago but I cannot locate any information about them beyond what is listed above.

Any help you can offer will be appreciated. Good luck and thanks!

Re: Belle Currin

Do you have any more information? It could possibly be that both Alf and Belle were owned by the Currins in Haywood County and then migrated to Halls.

AudreaWL — 2009-06-06 22:39:41Z

I hope you get this message. I don't know how I missed it when you posted it. I'd like to learn more as I'm sure we are related. I, too, just want to reach out to my family no matter how we became family! God bless!

Re: Robert Currin

tarhill471 — 2008-08-19 20:53:47Z

I don't know anything about Robert, but I think Lucious Aaron Currin that you are talking about may be my Grandfather. He had a son Willard Currin borned (i think 1901, his second son Norman Ray Currin borned Dec 18, 1903 was my father. I don't know my grandmothers name she died when my father was 6 years old. Lucious married a women name ( I'm not really sure about this) Lila Mae and they had five other children.

Re: Belle Currin

2006-08-14 04:14:01Z

Gordon, I cannot get in touch with you. What is your current email address? I'm still searching for info. I think I've found a Halls, TN - Currin connection.

Re: Belle Currin

2006-08-14 04:07:51Z

There has to be a connection. Many of my relatives on that side of the family were very, very fair skinned. Belle was listed as a five year old on her master's list of slaves in his will when he died. Do you have any pictures? It is always neat to see the resemblance. When I received information from Gordon Howard, he said that the Currins looked so much alike that no matter which "side" of the family, you could see the resemblance. The name Alf probably shows a connection, as well.

I have a picture of my grandmother, Artie Larie Seale, and my father, Wylie Andrew Pirkle and his brother, Rodney Earl Pirkle, standing in front of a house in Greenville, Texas. My grandmother labeled the picture, Mother Currin's 1932.

I would appreciate any information.

Lillie Currin death notice 1892

Abijiah — 2005-04-25 16:35:52Z

I was looking through old photographs at an antique store and came across a death announcement for Lillie Currin.

The card was in black and gold and it looked like it had been printed by a photograher.
It said:
Lillie Currin
Died Dec 18, 1892
age 27 years 9 mos and 3 days.
On the back was printed "Elkhart, Ind."

I did not buy the card, but thought the information might be of interest to someone.
