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
