It's entirely possible that Felix Curran Sr.'s Will might contain details about his son Felix, distribution of his property, etc. which is why I posted the reference.

We have recently obtained Felix snr will and it does not mention his son Felix.
Only his son John in Australia and his children, a housekeeper and the local priest of course! James the other son died earlier we hope to get his will when we are over in Sept.
Felix Curran V Felix Curran is a article I found in the local Irish papers, so they must of fell out over ? land as happens over and over again in Ireland. I know that Felix jun was alive in 1911 aged 70 and his daughter was aged 29 his own wife is dead.

"any information" is rather vague so perhaps you could tell us exactly what you already have and what you are looking for to save us searching for details you already know and to make it easier to help you.

You should be able to find Felix's age from the death registration if you don't already know it- see www.familysearch.org.

The wording of his Will is available in PRONI Will abstracts.

As I just said, telling us everything you already know saves us needless extra work and I have now found your previous Felix Curran topic (with lots of information already posted) so I've merged it with your latest one.

Hi Tom
Yes it does seem to be the right Curran. John Curran and Margaret Bell had 6 Children 1st born died about age 1. his name was also John, they had 2 more boys Patrick (my G/Father) and James, the girls names were Elizabeth,Minnie,and Margaret,
Felix and Margaret had two sons that I know of John and James, James died in 1887 in Ireland and is buried with his parents (i have photo of grave i took when i visited Ireland last year) I also have a copy of Felix's will leaving everything to John and his family in Australia.I'm having a little trouble verifying Johns entry into Aust. A few hiccups with age written on marriage cert. I know he married in Aust. in 1864 and that they had the six kids and the Mother died age 32 after 10yrs marriage,I,m not sure what happened with James's marriage but he died in Sth Aust. in the 1920's buried in a place Minnipa (i also have photo of his grave) he was poisoned I think accidentally ,the newspaper reports seem to point to the poison being meant for someone else.Do you know an Inez Woods she was a Curran and came down the line of James as you did.I probably give you a bit more info at a later date  when i sort it out and get everything up to date and learn how to put photos on here for you,
Thanks for getting in touch
