   wife Jane Currie, 35?, Ireland

Note: Jane McIlroy born c1842 Ireland (1891 census closest to her age but then her brother would have known when she was born), parents Clarke McIlroy & Mary Perry.

After this I can find no trace of the family in records. Wilhelmina Currie was supposed to have died 1940 (buried in a family plot, Aghadowey). She is not the Wilhelmina Currie died 1940 Selkirk, Scotland and I can't find a matching death in Northern Ireland.

Am suggestions? have been searching on Scotland's People but too many possibilities.

Thanks, Rosie. Wilhelmina Currie supposed to have died 1940 (relative who was very good with dates and details said this years ago) but just in case I looked up the 1963 death- unfortunately parents' names don't fit (nephew was informant).

That's a pity
