Find Ancestors

katqueen -
James's parents were Philip and Agnes (née Kerr).
Philip's father was Dennis.

So sorry Beverly. I didn't notice the date at the top of the census and of course I see it is my James's family when I look closely. Think I am getting mixed up as I have spent hours on this research for a friend and have managed to get back to the 1600's with 3 grandparents but had drawn a complete blank with James Currie, the4th. With the help of all you good people I can now progress and hopefully complete his family tree. My best regards and thanks to you all. Wendy

I wonder where Agnes was really born? On a later census she gives Liverpool as her place of birth.

I think this may be her in 1861

Certainly looks right with the names and the fact that it is all in Toxteth. Maybe Agnes thought she had been born in Liverpool as the younger children were. Interesting to see the Scottish connection as Currie is a very Scottish name too.

Thankyou rootgather for all that extra info. Sorry I didn't reply last night but the computer decided to do an update. All your help is much appreciated. Wendy

No problem Wendy. My pleasure to help :-)

The LDS records are from the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). There must have been a descendant of the family who was a LDS member. They go through a process of baptising their ancestors into the LDS Church even though they're long dead.

The sealing ceremony is to ensure that family members are joined together through eternity.
