Good to hear from you. I will be as brief as possible with my Currie information!
Parents of John Curry were ?Curry and Catherine MacDougall(Morar).
They had 3 sons:
 Peter(Gallanach), m Catherine Curry.
Ronald (Lochgair) m Sarah Clark.
John(Balliemore Aird). b 1770 m Mary McAlpine (Uila)
                                                            ###
John and Mary had ?6 children
Isabel  (b1793.Uila)
Margaret (b 1795 Uila -d1860 Middlesex Ont. m Niel Galbraith, had son Niel Galbraith)
Donald (b1799 Uila-d ?1867. Dunwich later Saugheen Bruce Co Ont m   Euphemia McCallum. ?14 children.)
Jean (b1802)
Elizabeth (b1807-d1894?Dunwich Ont.m Benjamin Gunn.)
Niel (b1809-d? Glassary  m Isabella McEwan. Lived at Carrick. Had Mary, John,Archibald,Ronald,(my g.grandfather),Isabella, Catherine.)
                                                        ####
It appeas that Margaret,Donald and Elizabeth emigrated to Dunwich Ont and I beleive their elderly parents John and Mary did too.
My family line comes from Niel (m Isabella mcEwan).His son Ronald was my g.grandfather born at Carrick.
                                                        ####

The place names mentioned are now deserted settlements.
Uila (Uillian) an ancient community situated behind Bridgend in present day Kilmichael-Glassary.
Gallanach around where Lochgair village is today Carrick is near Port Ann, and I believe Balliemore Aird to be near Castleon Estate Lochgilphead, although I think there were two Balliemores.
I do not have any evidence of occupations, but safe to say most would have been involved with agriculture and or fishing.
I am currently researching where this branch of the Curries  came from originally. The spelling of the name is  "Curry" up until Niel had his family then became "Currie".

 I was unaware that I had  forebears who emigrated to Canada, so am looking forward to learning  a bit more.I figure that Donalds children  and my g.grandfather Ronald would have been cousins..am I right??.....Ila

There are also two Gallanach's, the Loch Gair one and another on Loch Crinan.

Hi Martin,

Is there any mention of Baramollach (sp?)?  My ancestors (Camerons) lived there and were herders at Ederline Farm.

Thanks,

Hi GG

Rhudil is shown on OS Sheet 55 Map Ref. 842947.  It lies to the east of the A816, approx 1km North and East of Dunadd.
There are various spellings of the name on maps over the years: Rhudle, Rhudal, Rhudil.  The Rhudil Burn is some 300m north of the steading, and the old OS sheets indicate a Rhudal Mill beside the burn.
Regards
Istrice
