Research Notes

Schedule A Births shows Fanny’s father as Curry when that is actually a misspelling- He was Currie and always went by that. Therefore I have created this profile using that as her birth spelling.

She was referred to a Fanny Currie, therefore I am listing Fanny as preferred rather than a Nickname. This is from from first hand family recollection, her daughter and granddaughter both gave me this information personally.

first hand family recollection, her daughter and granddaughter both gave me this information personally- as well, this information is in our old family bible.

I will add more officials sources to this profile as well.
