Tamar was born on 10th February 1840 in Morton on Swale in near Northallerton. The name in hebrew means 'palm tree', Tamar was the daughter-in-law of Judah in the Old Testament. Tamar first appears on the 1851 census living in High Street, Gateshead with her parents and younger sister Ann. In 1858 she was married to Robert Curry in Stamford registry office, though from her marriage certificate she was a Servant and resided at 17 [sic] "Gransby" Street, Gateshead. On the 1861 census with her husband and two year old son John, her parents lived in the same street. In 1870 they lived at 65 Albert Street, Gateshead when Edith was born. In the 1871 census the family had moved to West Street in Gateshead. Her son John does not appear on this census so is probably deceased, other children, Sarah, Robert, George and Edith are present and now her parents live with her too. On the 1881 census the family have moved again to Hope Street in Sunderland and 3 further children have been born Susan, Eliza and Frederick. Tamar is widowed in 1882 when Robert dies of tuberculosis. Her father had passed away in 1875 and her mother dies in 1887. On the 1891 census still living in Hope Street, 5 of the children live at home, but only two work, a lodger has also been taken in. The Margaret Pemberton, who registered Robert's death and her family still live at number 18. At the turn of the century Tamar and her daughter Sarah had moved one street to South Johnson Street. Susan although married was visiting on the 1901 census and there were also two lodgers Robert Cranson and James Nash. At the time of her death on 21st November 1908 she had moved East to Henry Street near Hendon Dock. Reported as 69 years old by her daughter Eliza she was in fact 68 still and her cause of death is 'Senile decay'. She probably remained illiterate throughout her life like many women of this era. Although she may have been buried with her husband Robert in Bishopwearmouth cemetery a visit would be required to confirm.
