If any one has any information regarding any one mentioned please email me as it would be most helpful. I do have more info on other branches, However as stated in the beginning I am trying to track down information on Daniel's parents. Daniel was born in Conwal in County Donegal in 1837, came out to Australia (or the 'colony' as it was known then) arrived at Port Phillip Bay in 1857, and married to Susan Patton. Susan Patton, (born in Conwal, County Donegal in 1836) married Daniel Curran in Geelong Victoria Australia in 1858, and died while giving birth to Bernard, her ninth child, in warrenheip, a few kilometres from ballarrat in1868. Daniel Curran and Susan Patton children were:-
(1.) John Curran born 1859 died 1862.
(2.) Susan Curran, (born in ballarat in 1860) was married on 4th April 1877 in St Mary's Church in St Kilda, a suburb of Melborne in Victoria to John McCoy (born 1859, it is unknown when John died) we know that they only had 1 sibling, a son it is unknown when Susan died, however she died in Western Australia
(3.) Daniel Curran, born 1861, it is unknown how or when Daniel Curran died.
(4.) Dennis Curran, born 1863, married Elisabeth English 9 siblings died 1946
(5.) William Curran born 1864 died 1930 married Margaret Hamilton birth and death dates unknown 9 siblings
(6.) John Curran Twin brother to Sarah Curran both born 1866, John's date of death unknown and was unmarried
(7.) Sarah Curran as mentioned born 1866 died 1933 married David Mercer Frew
(8.) Margaret Curran born 1868 died 1903( married William James Hillard 7 siblings
(9.) Bernard Curran born 1868 (mother died while giving birth to him) died ?
Daniel then married Mary Anne Forehan (aka Anne) in 1869, she gave birth to one child, James born 1872 but he died in 1883 after falling off the back of a horse. Anne died in 1900. Daniel died in 1912.
A correction is to be made to his story, as it has since been discovered that child 1 John, was born on april 4 1861 and children 2 and 3 were twins born on February 10 1862. they wewere all registered on the same day February 24 1862
