Valerie in Adelaide - here is the information on that 1855 Birth in Ayr : 1855 Births, Ayr, Ayrshire. James CURRIE born 14 Jan at 11pm at N 11 [does this mean Number 11 or North 11 ?] Mill Street, Ayr to William CURRIE, Police Officer, 28y born Kirkoswald and Elizabeth CURRIE ms SPENCE, this was her 1st child, 21y born Stoneykirk. This family had 3 boys living at the time of this birth. They wed 1854 in Ayr. The Informant was the father, Wm CURRIE who signed. Registered 24 Jan at Ayr. Stephen Rowan, Registrar. This indicates this was a second marriage for the father....if this was her FIRST child and they had only wed the previous year, the 3 boys mentioned must have been his....or this would have been her 4th child. Or is this a different couple with similar names to the one you are seeking ??? MegG in Oklahoma --------------------------- Hi, I am looking for information on my ggg grandfather William Currie.
