Kenneth Curran son of Robert D Curran and Inez P Langton was born circa 1922 in Utah.

He is 18yrs old and unmarried on the 1940 census and just spotted that his mother was a divorcee and not a widow!

Parents 1920 marriage is also found on Family Search

I have found the 1930 census and see Inez Curran her mother being Sussie A Langton with Kenneth Curran listed, grandson, so this must be the family. Saw no Robert Curran and states Inez Curran married and not a widow

Hi Glasgowlass. Actually an America friend married to a Dutchman in Holland had a middle name of Curran on FB. We also have a friend living in Utah and she has a middle name of Curran also on FB , thought how odd. I contacted my friend in Holland and she said she didn't know much about the Currans her fathers side because her parents split up when she was 2 ys old but told me her father was called Kenneth Curran and his parents were a Robert and Inez Curran. Last night I found the mother of our friend who lives in Utah and couldn't believe it but her mother was called Inez Curran so contacted her to find her mother maiden name was Gish( I knew the cousin of my friend was Lillian Gish the silent movie star) that there were only 3 girls and there was no brother named Kenneth. So that ruled out any connection between our 2 friends. So that's all I have to go on Robert and Inez Curran, I thought if I could find a marriage for them I could perhaps find out more. Maybe the maiden name of Inez isn't Paisley, will have to contact my friend in Holland to see if she has seen her fathers birth certificate, or perhaps her mother has seen it, I believe she is still alive and lives in New York. Sorry that's all I have to go on

This is an newspaper obituary which mentions Inez and her family - hope it is of some help:

I had a look on Familysearch too and found Robert W Currin with a wife named Inez.

Looking back further, her maiden name was not Paisley

There is also a 45yr old widow in Utah at 1940 named Inez Curran
Census states that she was born in Utah
Son named Kenneth b Utah 1922

Her maiden name was Langton and she married 38yr old widower, Robert D Curran in California in 1920 but her middle name did start with "P"


She was the daughter of James Langton ( irish) and Susie Ross ( New York)
I cannot locate a birth record to determine her middle name.

John, we need to know how you worked back to this couple.
Was it via a child?
If we knew how you got back to this couple, we can exclude all others, also named Robert and Inez

Plenty on family search.org

Do any of you kind people have access to any American genealogy sites. I am trying to find a marriage for a Robert Curran and Inez Paisley approx from 1915 to 1922, sorry do not know which state but know they lived in Utah at some time.. Are there any free genealogy sites I could do look ups on. Many thanks
