I am interested in any one being able to offer any further information on the origin of Currie. I did some research with the Encyclopaedia Britannica a few years ago and their results were that the Currie nam originated from McVurrich some 1200 odd years ago, was modified to McVurrie to McRurrie and finally to Currie of the past 4-500 years, with the "C" being the remains of "Mc". I will be interested in any information related to this theory. George Currie - Methven, New Zealand
