Jessie Currie (April 1896 - ?) was a wool industry worker in Almonte, Canada.
Parentage
- She is listed in Mary Riddell's 1929 obituary as being her daughter
- She is listed in Grace Wilson's 1983 obituary as being her sibling
However:
- She is listed in the 1911 census, as the granddaughter of John Currie
- John Currie's 1911 obituary does not count her as among his daughters, despite mentioning her name.
Thus, Jessie was likely born out of wedlock to one of John's children. At the time, Walter was married since 1893, but John would have been 17, Christena 15, and Mary 13. Christena is therefore the likeliest to be the true mother.
Marriage
On 11 November 1915 she married Alex Houston, a bricklayer.
