RACHEL XXXXXXX

That is the only marriage from 1888 -1908 with a male with surname Curry marrying a female surname Mann in England and Wales......this was in Essex and may have been the result of work.

Ive found the marriage- the names you gave us werent quite right !!! George William Curry married Frances Ada Mann Dec Q 1903 Tendring 4a 1191

Naomi can I just ask you how you know her name if you know nothing else about the family? Who was your Grandfather? Georgina.

ok,i think i've just found my grandfathers birth in CHESTER-LE-STREET, co.durham.....i've just phoned my aunty+she remembers there being a MIRRIAM,MICHAEL,PETER+ALICE, she says theres more but she cant remember their names+my grandfather was in the middle somewhere thanks x oh,i forgot,my aunty also thinks the 3rd husband was a jo eland

what year did he die roughly?

area clues please

Naomi I cant see a marriage for them. I think it would be best finding your Grandfather first, can you give us his full name & do you know if he was the oldest child? Georgina.
