Charles St John Barchmans Curry

  General Notes:

The place of birth of Charles is uncertain, as no documentary evidence has been found yet. His son Clifford Curry was convinced that he was born in Giddapahar Charles's father was a Tea Planter at Tindharia Tea Estates in the Darjeeling District. His granddaughter Norah Curry claimed he owned this Estate, but again no documentary evidence yet. He did leave a large Villa in the area, "Norah Villa" to his son Charles.
