Looking for George Curry

[Gloria Cote]

Thank you for your response.

As far as I know, he was Irish, at least that's the last know address I have for him (Dublin). Also, he had a definite Irish accent as well as his friends on board. I wish I had more information but you can see why I've had such trouble locating him over the years.

Warmest Regards,
Gloria

Thank you so much for your reply.
I was not aware of the Britannic, I only now about the Timaru Star.

First look yesterday showed a bit of a variance with the surname.

Hence the EG: (For Example)

George Mccurry - Britannic is most likely not your man.

Though not guaranteed yet, George may be in New Zealand:

I do not want to get your hopes up to much yet and requires more research.

The Blue Star Line New Zealand/Australia Reunion

Held in Wellington on the 4th - 6 th March 2005

Had a person attending as below.

Curry, George

Afloat : 1971 - 1986 Junior Engineer to 2nd Engineer.

The listing is under those Attending from New Zealand:

It may well not be him and on the other hand could well be.

Certainly, a lead that needs following up ?

Gangway Magazine Volume 2/12

Take a look at the photo gallery just in case you recognise him.

Have a good friend who was a navigation officer with Blue Star in the 70's next time I see him will ask for you.

Cheers John, all help appreciated.

Sounds like a good lead.

Regards,

Keith.

I can't thank you enough for the new leads!

I followed the links and spent some time looking around. The photo gallery included a picture of George and without seeing him for almost 50 years, I think there's a good chance that it is him.

If so, I should be looking in Australia/New Zealand and not Ireland.

I will continue looking everywhere I can think of.

Again, thank you for the help, I have real hope for the first time in years.

Warmest Regards,
Gloria

It would be great to know we are on the right track,
in honesty, I have been tied up and not had to much
time.

With luck I will do better ASAP.

I received a reply from my friend who was with Blue Star.

He remembers George well, and tell me he married a Kiwi lady by the name of Liz from Napier.
She voyaged with the ship to USA and my friend tells me the last he saw of him was in 1977 but has no idea where he is now.

Thank you very much and please thank your friend for me as well.

It was wonderful to hear news of him and I'm happy he found a wife.

Please tell your friend if he ever sees him to give him my contact information as I would love to speak with him again.

In the meantime, I will continue my search.

Warmest Regards,
Gloria
