I'm trying to trace James Currigan

1881 found him Vessels, Royal Navy, England
1899 he married a widow Mary Jane nee Jeavons
Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England
1901 & 1911 census Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England
3 children Annie, Nellie & Mary

Can't find any other info so can anybody please help.

Edit: his last name in the message - another of my stupid spelling mistakes

Is this your man?? If so the surname would appear to be CURRIGAN
EDIT - not Curringham as you originally put and have now altered.

Oh, well done Stuart - so far so good - I haven't seen the 1891 census
Can see he is James T

Not finding a James C*gan born Shropshire 1853-1860. *Throws up spellings Corragan, Corregan, Corrigan.

Wonder if Shifnal is his earliest memory and born elsewhere or even that he was born into an Army/RM family and could have been anywhere?

Oh RR just noticed your post - the marriage cert just brilliant - another I don't have to buy - is in on Anc....

?? There is this MArtin Currigan in Shifnal 1861, is it just a coincidence, he would have been rather young c 16 when James was born if he was the father? Perhaps you are looking for a James ----- 1861
