My mother is Jean Curley and her mother was Susan Harrison Curley. Her parents were Benjamin Harrison and Annie Courtney. I am in touch with Tom Harrison, Joe Cosgrove (his mother was Mary Harrison) and I was close to Jim McKenna whose mother was Annie Harrison. Also some othe McKenna's. Tom Harrison has put up a family tree site on the internet. He still needs to update the Courtney information that I gave him. There had been some initial guesses on Courtneys that I have proven incorrect based upon receiving the marriage certificate of Benjamin and Annie as wells as death certificates I have on them. They are both buried in Medway, MA. I go back on the Courtneys to Annies parents Bryan Courtney and Catherine Madden. I have traced their deaths and their parents names but still working on it as the next line was in Ireland. Benjamins heritage has been more challenging with stories from my Mother and her cousins that he may have been bro! ught up by his sisters, he was an orphan or many other stories. In research I found some potentials in NY city as have others but I am not convinced they are accurate. I did find that there were a lot of Courtneys and Harrisons in upstate NY with farms. I have found trying to figure out how they might have met ha helped on other family searches. Benjamin and Annie were married in Dorchester but how did she meet Benjamin when he was from NY, etc. Some point one of us will figure out Benjamin.
