Also seeking any friends or relatives of a Margaret Curry (mentioned above). Her married name was Channer (nee Curry) and passed away (1984?). She resided in Newton Grove Sth Shields.

Others relations
Mary Curry (nee Kennedy) was widowed (husband and war hero George Curry DCM was killed in WWI and is buried in Tyne Cot Cemetry, Belgium) and married a Mr Short (christian name unknown). Mary Curry Short then gave borth to a Annie Short and an Ellen Short (twins i gather) in 1922. Then in 1925 a son - James Short (South Shields), and December 1929 then a daughter, Elizabeth Short (at Lanchester).

Hello,

I am trying to track down and touch base with family members related to George Curry DCM, served in the first World War and is buried in a war cemetry in Belgium. One of his sons George Curry who was estranged from the family relocated to Australia before the 1940s. He served in the WWII in the Pacific (now deceased). He had a brother Martin and sister Margaret (now deceased some years ago now, she had no children). We dont know too much more than that. I understand his brother Martin may have had a son named Martin as well?

George Curry DCM would have been my great grandfather. My mother, is now seeking to establish some links to her father's family. She was in contact with her Aunty Margaret up until her passing.

I would be grateful for anyone who may have some knowledge or be able to lead me in the right direction with a current contact, to let me know. Any assistance would be most appreciated to assist in putting the pieces together of a family jigsaw that has been fragmented for nearly a century.

Thank you
