Hi All,
I am trying to fill out information on my non-direct line ancestors. Could anyone who has access to the 1865 New York state census please check the following people:
John Falcus Curry and Susan Curry who I believe are resident in the city of Schuyler. I think the couple may be my 3rd great aunt Hagar Susan Mann born 1839 in North Shields, Northumberland and her husband, who was born circa 1836 in Newcastle, Northumberland.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers
Pete

Here they are in 1870.
It's odd that it says born England in the search result, yet on the document it says born in New York.

Hi and thanks Jamjar, I'm wondering now if it is the right couple. The places of birth and ages are wrong also John and Susan were resident in Newcastle in 1861 where he is recorded as an engine smith. The hint to Schuyler came from Ancestry and definitely gives the census date as 1865, was there one in New York state that year? Perhaps Ancestry is just throwing me a red herring? Thanks again Pete

You're sure they went to the US and specifically New York?

Hi Jamjar, no not sure they went to the US. All I know is Susan (Hagar) was born in 1839 in North Shields, Northumberland. She was the daughter of Robert Mann my 3 x Great Grandfather and sister of Robert Mann my 2 x Gt Grandfather. She married John Falcus Curry at Christ Church, Tynemouth, Northumberland on 12 Mar 1861. The following month (1861 census) she and John were living in Clayton Street, Newcastle, after that I haven't been able to find them. "Ancestry" however through up the following hint:
New York, State Census, 1865
Name, John F Curry
Spouse, Susan Curry
Birth, 1835
Residence, city, Schuyler
I thought it sounded a possibility, which was why I asked if someone could do a look up. From what you have kindly found it looks like just a name coincidence which is disappointing. I guess I'll just have to keep searching.
Thanks for your list of Curry/Mann births can I ask how you have the mothers maiden name as some look interesting?
Many thanks for your help, cheers.

...Hagar Susan Mann born 1839 in North Shields, Northumberland and her husband, who was born circa 1836 in Newcastle, Northumberland.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but could this be Susan (age and birthplace is not quite correct)?
England, select births and christenings
John Falcus Currie, 3 July 1836, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
1871 District 13, Westgate St John, Northumberland
Susan Currie, lodger, married, age 30, born Tynemouth, Northumberland
Lived in a Lodging House?
Looking at a current map, North Shields and Tynemouth are fairly close to each other. :-\
