  1. Norman Edwin Curry and Harriet Blanche “Hattie” Curry had a son – Franklin Lionel Curry – at Green Turtle Cay in 1893. Frank Curry’s parents never married.

  2. I remember Miss Ellen. She lived with my great Uncle John Curry and wife Elizabeth. We would visit with my grandmother Leitha Bethel Williams to see her sisters Emma Sawyer Bertha Curry married to Cyril Curry. Elizabeth and Bertha my grandmothers sisters married the Curry brothers. Se was a sweet lady. Mr Norman passed before I was born.
