John Curran
« on: Saturday 22 February 25 16:32 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I’m just wondering if anyone could help.

Im trying to find out more about John Curran. He died in 1885 in Mullaghglass. He was married to Mary Regan (unsure what year), who he had multiple children with, including Michael Curran.
Michael Curran was born in 1868 in Mullaghglass and came to Scotland where he married Margaret Ferns in 1890. He died in 1939. Mary Regan was listed as his mother on his birth and death certificate but on his marriage Bridget Clarkin was registered as his mother. I’ve tried to find out who she is but had no luck, so just wondering if anyone can help with who she was and who John Currans parents were.

Thanks

Here is a birth for Ann in 1864 so highly likely the couple were married before then. If they were Catholic, civil records for marriage did not begin until 1864.
Was the Regan surname an error? It reads Fegan on this record too.

Hi,

Yes, I think the Regan surname was an error and yes, they were Catholic.

This looks like Mary’s death - informant daughter, Mary

And 1901 census

Are you certain you have the right record where it shows Bridget Clarkin?

I wonder if it was an error of transcription or something.
Is there a church record of the marriage to compare?
