CURSON FAMILY



CURSON FAMILY DESCENDANTS
Charles CURSON and Sarah ........
of Kent, England
c. 1700's

I have only recently (March 2009) become involved with research on this family as previously it was just a name on the list, with Rosalia Louise Schuetze, younger sister of Maria Caroline, (great grandmother of my husband Dennis O'Neil) having married Charles Curson in Goolwa, South Australia in 1880.

However having become interested through conversations with other researchers I found myself wanting to know more on this line.

As it is not a close connection I have not gone to the expense of acquiring Certificates etc. and the following information is shown with the best intentions having been obtained from various indexes (I.G.I., Australian BD&M, Free BD&M UK, National Archives (Australia) and the ancestry website along with input from various people with either a family connection or an interest in the Curson line.

The family originated in Kent, England with George Frederick Curson and his wife Jane (nee Todd Davis) arriving at Port Adelaide, South Australia on the “Punch” on 5 November 1849. Bound for South Australia - Passengers 1836-1888 by Diane Cummings.

Following are some details on the descendants of Charles CURSON and his wife Sarah from England.
