I have been able to trace to here Samuel Curran born in1820 married Sarah Brickley born1825 had at least one son named Samuel Curran born 1853. I know Sarah was born in Antrim. Looking for farther back and hopefully more descendants from them. And information about why the fled to Canada.

Hello!
Samuel Curran and Sarah Brickley are my 3rd Great Grandparents, via their daughter, Elizabeth Curran, b. 1857 in Hawkesbury, Prescott Co., Ontario, Canada.
I can post more info here tomorrow. They had 13 children. I am working on who their parents were.
It's great to see a Curran researcher on here.
Regards,
