sorry to be thick, Flick, but age doesn't help. My step dad was born 24 May 1911 in 1 Hilbre Street, Birkenhead, and when he died we had no paper info anywhere and my mother has never wanted to speak about his life. His birth certificate was what put me down the Archibald Currie route and then Scotland came into the frame.
I am finding it extremely difficult to get my head round with so many folk having the same names.

I still can't figure out the relationships on that 1901. It looks to me as if Susannah's parents are:

He dies in Poplar 1900 and I don't see a re-marriage,so who the heck is Susannah with in 1901? Only thing I can think of is it's her aunt or something.

Sorry-messy job. Not thinking too straight today.

Flick Report 9 Sep 2010 16:08

1911 does not say that.....

It clearly states that she is the DAUGHTER, which is why MAureen suggests that her mother has re-married.

Please...........when people find info.....read it carefully.

Hi, so you think that my step grandmother Susannah (nee Bristow) is now a domestic in Bermondsey for the Baker family?
Gets more complicated, as my step dad was born in 1 Hilbre Street, Birkenhead on the birth cert.

MaureeninNY Report 9 Sep 2010 15:39

Hi Richard,
So you can rule out Arch B Currie as the father now.!

Yours is listed as a mariner on the marriage cert. Father John is an iron merchant.

I guess this is Susannah in 1901. It looks as though her mother has re-married somewhere along the line:

Hi Maureen, the mother's maiden name would be the reason that I have Arcibald BARRIE Currie as the son's full name and not spelt Barry as normally.

Richard Report 9 Sep 2010 15:06

Hi Flick, I have taken all the info re Susannah from my step dad's birth certificate, where she is shown as wife of Archibald, maiden name Bristow. Could be why I haven't found any marriage certificate.

Richard Report 9 Sep 2010 15:01

Hi, the reason I put "appears" is that on my step dad's birth certificate his father is shown only as "Archibald Currie" . My step dad - Donald's - birth address is 1, Hilbre St , as MaureeninNY shows. This is the first that I have known of any siblings, which is interesting.
It was the England census I looked at, as I had been led to believe that the family originated from the Birkenhead area. Wrong info from my mother obviously.
Thanks for all who have helped

As I said right at the start - wasn't happy with 'APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN'.

Another case of guessing, instead of working from FACTS

Leaving this until Richard decides to return with actual info
