I wonder if this the marriage

Marriages Jun 1856

CAINE Catherine Stockport 8a 111
CURRY Patrick Stockport 8a 111

Hello, I have some information on the Currie's that may be of interest if anyone is still viewing this thread.

I believe the marriage is actually:

Barrett Catherine Bolton 8c 374
Curie Patrick Bolton 8c 374

Click on the poster’s name to send a message via GR. It’s unlikely that she will be looking for replies after more than twelve years. She didn’t even respond in 2009

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1859
CURRY Patrick BARRETT 1859 Western Bolton Bolton WB/37/53

The fathers (if known) will be named on the marriage cert. The year, incidentally, was 1853. It was NOT a CofE ceremony.

For some reason, I didn't receive an email about this thread being updated so apologies for me coming back after a couple of weeks. As you say, its unlikely the OP will respond after 13 years now we are in 2022!

I have a copy of Patrick and Catherine's marriage cert. and I can also add their first child to the above:

CURRY Catherine 1854 D Quarter in BOLTON UNION Volume 08C Page 252

After Patrick jnr., the others were born in Otley. I do wonder if Patrick Snr. and Catherine met in Bolton or came from Ireland to Bolton together. Their are quite a few Barretts in Ireland and England, at this time

GR doesn't let you know when replies are added to a thread you've started.
I know it says it does - but it doesn't.

You have to keep coming back to the thread to check.

GR do not send notifications. It isn’t like FB

Shelley, although you are not notified of new posts on a thread Genes DO send out notifications of pms.

Even if notifications were sent, they would be to the originator of the thread = not to people who simply added something

Ah, I see. Thanks for that info, very useful!
