Descendants of Henry Curry b.1816 d.1903, Durham

[Zane81]

Hi all,

I am looking for descendants of Henry Curry and Isabella Curry who might still be in the Durham / Newcastle upon Tyne area.

Their daughter Emma Curry b. 1855 in Hetton, Durham is my 2nd Great Grandmother who immigrated to Australia in 1885. Their son Robert Curry b.1857 also immigrated to Australia in 1885 but died shortly after in 1887. Immigration records show that Robert's wife Mary Ann and their surviving son Henry travelled to Australia in 1887 to be with Robert, but were back in the UK by the 1891 census. I know that Henry went on to marry Agnes Amelia Curry, and they had at least two daughters - Mary Eva and Agnes M.
My hope is that perhaps some correspondence between Robert and Mary Ann has survived through Henry's line and been passed down. I am trying to piece together Emma's life in Queensland for a documentary I am making, and this seems like it would have been a significant event for her. I am also hoping that correspondence from Emma herself might survive in a shoe box in someone's cupboard somewhere.

If anyone has any information about this family that might help, even old pictures, it would all be tremendously appreciated.

Thanks

Thank you Radcliff, this is incredible information. This daughter seems like the most likely candidate to possess the kind of information I am after. Do you know how I might reach out to her?

I have drafted a letter that I will send to her address in the hopes that she is still living and still resides there. She would be approximately 75-76 now, so there is a good chance.

if you don't have any joy try Old Photo's of Newcastles West End on Facebook, put Prospect Place in and there are a few posts, you may be able to chat to a past resident of the street
