Gee Bill You Asked The Same Question I was Going To Ask
Hi John
Just Wondering If You Are Related To The McCoy's Who, if you track them back are related to the Currans Originally From VIC but they Moved into NSW and lived around Hillgrove , Grafton , Dorrigo from there it was all places North , South , East , and West from Grafton.
The beginnings of the Curran family
Daniel Curran (born either 1831-or 1837 depending what you read and take notice of, i.e. Certificates or Burial notices (Obits), born in Conwal, County Donegal, Ireland
Parents and most of his family Died at sea on route to America, so far only One brother remaining with him, reason unknown but glad they did other wise you would not be getting this email, lol.
Daniel Curran arrived in Australia at Port Phillip onboard the OCEAN CHIEF in 1857, Daniel married and was devoted to his first wife his wife Susan Patton on the 10 - May 1858. Susan died ten years later on the 2-December-1858 just after giving birth to her ninth child, BERNARD
(CHILD 1.) First born was a son, born in 1859 at Ballaarat, He died in 1860 (neither birth or death was registered until 1862) and is buried with his mother in the Old Ballarat Cemetery
(CHILD 2.) Second born and the first of three Daughters was Susannah (Susan), born 1860, died in W.A. in 1949 as Susan Ann McCoy (Susan married John McCoy in 1877 in VIC.) Susan had only 1 child born in 1776 to father Unknown.
(CHILD 3.)

(CHILD 4.) Forth born (was my Great Great Grandfather) Dennis born in 1862, (it was at this time that the all previous children's births and deaths were then registered) Dennis married Elizabeth English in 1875. Elizabeth and Dennis had 9 children. Dennis died in 1946, however, Elizabeth predeceased him by 20 years
(CHILD 5.) Fifth born was William born in 1863-64, William married Margaret Hamilton in 1886. William married Margaret Hamilton had 4 children, William died in Hillgrove NSW in 1930
(CHILD 6.) Sixth born and the second daughter Sarah was born a twin a on the 9th September 1866 at Buninyong,Victoria. Sarah married David Mercer Frew on the 29 December 1889 at Hillgrove. They had eight Children including one set of twins Sarah died in NSW in 1930 in Ryde, NSW. David Mercer Frew died on the 3rd December 1889 at waterfall and is buried in the "Field of Mars" Cemetery at Ryde with his wife Sarah
(CHILD 7.) Seventh born, John was the fifth son, and twin to Sarah also born on the 9th September 1866 at Buninyong,Victoria.. John died in 1928 at Grafton and like his older brother ,Daniel, he never married.
(CHILD 8.) Eighth born and the third and last daughter Margaret was born on the 23rd December 1867 at Buninyong,Victoria. Margaret married William Hillard in 1886 at Tilbuster near Armidale NSW. Margaret and william had 7 Children Margaret Died in 1903 at Armidale, NSW and William died some Thirty-Six years later in 1939 also at Armidale, NSW
(CHILD 9.) Last born was Bernard was born on the 2nd December 1868 at Warrenheip,Victoria. Not much is known about Bernard except that he was last heard of in Grafton, I am still trying to locate him
Daniel Curran Snr remarried However this marriage did not last long his second wife, Mary Anne Foran. Daniel and Mary Anne Foran married on the 10 April 1869. Gave birth to one child by the name of James born on the 22 October 1872 and who died ten years later after falling off the back of a horse on the 14th January 1883 in NSW Mary Anne died in 1900 at Warrenheip well that just about wraps then up
