I am looking for any information on Peter CURRIE, described as 'farmer of Glacknay Bay' (Glecknabae) on his daughter Mary's marriage certificate. Mary married Duncan MCKELLAR in 1841 at Rothesay.anything on Mary and her parents/siblings most welcome. I don't know who her mother was. Mary's daughter Janet married John KEITH and emigrated to Australia. I have found 3 wives for Peter: Elizabeth MCCONACHY,Elizabeth DUNCAN & Catherine LIVINGSTONE.How many Peters are there?

Hi Liz, The 1841 census for Bute lists 8 Peter Curries but only 3 were of marriageable age. (Most of them were on Arran) You can look up those at Glecknabae in 1841 at; http://freecen.rootsweb.com/ None of the family were there in 1851 Cheers, Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liz Thompson" <lizthompson99@hotmail.com> To: <ButeshireGenWeb-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 4:51 AM Subject: [BUT] Peter CURRIE | I am looking for any information on Peter CURRIE, described as 'farmer of | Glacknay Bay' (Glecknabae) on his daughter Mary's marriage certificate.
