I've since realized I was following the wrong King line, so we're probably not related. I need to do some editing!Kathleen O'Harahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998207528481554149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242319094148803910.post-51949442902525678352017-02-07T17:37:38.346-05:002017-02-07T17:37:38.346-05:00Nicholas King and Margaret (Peg) Curraby were my g...Nicholas King and Margaret (Peg) Curraby were my great-great-grandparents. I'm descended from their daughter Bridget King, baptized in 1850 in Claremorris (Kilcolman parish), County Mayo, so it looks as though we may be related. The surname Curraby is a less common variant of the surname Corboy, which is Ó Corrbuidhe in irish, possibly from the words corr ("crane") and buidhe ("yellow"). The surname originated in the counties to the east of galway, but spread into galway, matyo, and other nearby areas. kevin45sfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01943373742095795368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242319094148803910.post-5574730089650350712013-03-26T22:59:37.823-04:002013-03-26T22:59:37.823-04:00Marion,
