Tim’s paternal grandfather was Thomas Curry (the son of James Curry and Catherine Temple). Catherine was the daughter of Thomas Temple and Isabella Cook.
Tim’s paternal grandmother was Agnes Macdonald/McDonald (the daughter of Hugh McDonald and Agnes Ferguson). Hugh was Scottish. Agnes was born in England, to Scottish parents, from Dumfries.
Tim’s maternal grandfather was named Henry Langmead.
Tim’s maternal grandmother was named Bridget M. Buckley. Bridget was born in Cork, Ireland.
Thought he had Jewish ancestry
Not so far as I’ve found. His father, Jim, was born to Thomas and Agnes (McDonald) Curry. Agnes’s father Hugh was born in Scotland and her mother Agnes (Ferguson) McDonald was born in County Durham to Scottish parents from Dumfries, Scotland. Not much chance of Jewish there.
Thomas Curry’s father was James Curry (who’s ancestry I haven’t worked on yet) and his mother was Catherine Temple. Both were born in County Durham. Catherine’s father was Thomas Temple (son of Edward and Mary Temple) and her mother was Isabella Cook (daughter of Thomas Cook). None of the names suggest any Jewish ancestry.
My dad looks a lot like him but darker with brown eyes.
he looks like Alan Parsons who is English too.
