Hi, I'm new to Rootschat.
I'm looking for help on the family of Jean Currie of Garrachoran who married Thomas Harkness in Inverchaolain, Argyll in 1799.

I wonder if this is her, given the place of birth and marriage:

Name:    Jean Mccurry
Gender:    Female
Christening Date:    30 Dec 1780
Christening Place:    , INVERCHAOLAIN, ARGYLL, SCOTLAND
Father's Name:    Duncan Mccurry
Mother's Name:    Catherin Mcchananich

I see on the 1841 census that Jean Harkness has a son called Duncan.

John Harknes 40
Duncan Harkness 25
Agnes Harkness 20

Hi,

Yes, thank you very much for this, it is the same Jean Currie.

While I have some information on the children and descendants of Jean Currie and Thomas Harkness and also the ancestors of Thomas Harkness I am finding it more difficult to unravel Jean Currie's history. Do you have any more information on her family?

I found her baptism on familysearch and the census on freecen.
This looks like her parents' marriage:

Name:    Duncan Mccurrie
Gender:    Male
Marriage Date:    29 Apr 1776
Marriage Place:    Kilmodan,Argyll,Scotland
Spouse:    Katharine Mcchannich
FHL Film Number:    1041071
