Hi everyone! I’m a bit lost on the whole Currie family in Scotland, but I’m in the same boat as you all are. I’m from the Cory line that came from Cornwall, England in 1848 and 1849. (Henry Corry, wife Mary, and one of their son’s William b. 1839)
Going back Susanna Carlyle and Robert de Corry in the mid 1300’s, their son Thomas stayed in Scotland while his 2 brothers and parents went to England. There are “forgotten books” about the “Corrie” family in Scotland. One of these books have a line all the way from Alfred The Great to the Goldie Family marrying into the Corrie family in Scotland. There’s a William from Redbank mentioned. And I believe that covers all the way to the mid 1900’s- not certain.
I can’t find out anything about Robert & Susanna after they were granted a safe pass.
From what I gathered, if I am correct, and we are stemming from the same lines (which I’m sure we are) We come from the Carolingian Kings of Germany from Clovis to Charlemagne. From there, it’s Baldric The Teuton and the Barons of Annandale (de Courcy) that became de Corry (Corrie)...
There’s a Richardi de Cursi that is engraved on church in Normandy as one of the people who fought in battle of Hastings with William the Conqueror. There’s so many ways we could have branched off. This family has been known to live on Courcy/Corrie lands for close to eternity- seems that way...
This family was recognized as being de Courcy since the Carolus King, to William the Conqueror and this Ricardo de curci, and over into Scotland.
I’ve been doing much research on this, and we are definitely NOT the only ones with no answers. It appears that the family is non-traceable once getting into Scotland unless you know who was named what. I have read that a Hugh de Courcy went to Scotland and was a knight along with a brother Philip from 1124-1153. It was during this time that de Courcy became de Corrie. I have also seen that King Robert The Bruce took on the last name of Corry. I have also seen the there’s believe that the house of Stuart’s may actually have been Corry’s as well. I read somewhere that they spelled “Cory” differently to distinguish which family they were from.
There’s also John de Courcy that left England and fulfilled the prophecy. It’s unknown if the person who took his place was his son or not. Which if he was, that puts us in Ireland, and another explanation to different version of spellings.
