Goldie: As far as I have been able to trace, my MacCurrach's were from Nairn. They also went by the surname of MacPherson. As Jane (on this list) kindly pointed out a few years back, MacPherson is an alias of MacCurrach or vice versa. Honestly, the surname varies in spellings, i.e., McUrrich, McCurich, (even found one McUrigh) etc. and I think Jane had it as MacVurich. In researching this surname in Nairn, I have found instances where a person was married as a MacCurrach and then had children under MacPherson as well as MacCurrach. All I can tell you is that I believe that my Katharine MacCurrach was christened in 1723 Nairn to William MacCurrach. In creating a timeline, her mother may have been Isabella MacBain (mother was not listed on the baptismal entry). William and Isabella married in 1719 Nairn, Nairn; however, a William MacCurrach had two children (no mother listed) prior to this marriage date. Since James Calder and Katharine MacCurrach's first child (and I assume this as well, mother not listed on the baptism) was Isabel in 1754, I assume I have the correct pairing...........so many assumptions when you go back and no way to prove any of it. With regard to Enzie, am looking for Pirie / Pirries's. Sherry
