Hello - I have a John Curphey born Douglas
1796 - he was a Shoemaker In the 1841 census in Athol St. Douglas, there was
John Curphy/Mary
Margaret born 1826
John 1828 ( my interest)
Isabella 1834
Mary 1840
I think I have seen baptisms in Liverpool St.Peter for children of John Curphey - Shoemaker,
John Curphey (1828) married my ancestor
Catherine Cowley (widow) nee Lord
and they came to Liverpool 1850
He was also a Shoemaker in the beginning
Does this help
