If Samuel Curry was born in 1854, as per the death cert - though of course that may not be correct - there's no such birth in England/Wales.

The nearest, assuming he had no middle name, is this one :

CURRY, SAMUEL mmn REES
GRO Reference: 1850 M Quarter in BETHNAL GREEN Volume 02 Page 75

However, that is not almost certainly not the man who was a Morden College.

Samuel Curry
in the London, England, Selected Poor Law Removal and Settlement Records, 1698-1930
Name: Samuel Curry
Residence Age: 7
Birth Date: abt 1850
Event Type: Settlement Papers
Residence Date: 9 Feb 1857
Residence Poor Law Union: Shoreditch
Residence: Spitalfields, London, England

That record is for the father Henry, but mentioning all the family by name.


That Samuel probably married Caroline Kimbling in Bethnal Green in 1869.
In 1881 he was a "general dealer" in Cambridge, with Caroline and several children.
In 1891, they're still in Cambridge.
Caroline died in Cambridge in 1894.

Samuel may have died in Cambridge RD in 1905, if age is wrong (52).

Perhaps the poster will return at some stage and share the results of all of her research!!!!

PROBATE to Walter Charles Corry.................QED ;-) ;-)

I’ve also had a pm asking asking if I am connected to Walter Corry.

I would have thought that I had written nothing that would indicate that I was.

If indeed I was I would have said so.

Barbara - you need to understand that no one on here has suggested they were connected. Everyone is an amateur interested in helping with your research. You need to come back on here and answer some of the questions and tell people if they are looking in the right direction.

Edit: I told her my answer was on her thread. There is no purple envelope so she has read the pm and has not followed up.
