My ancestor boarded a ship in Glasgow, Scotland in 1851. There is no record of the town they came from other than my Great Grandmother's pension application for her deceased husband who was a Civil War Veteran. The town recorded was Curfin, Scotland??

Has anyone heard of this town? Curfin.

Question: Could "Curfin" actually be "Carfin".

Carfin, Lanarkshire, Scotland

Are you able to give us the link where you have seen the name Curfin? It could well have been transcribed incorrectly, as Brett says above Carfin is a little village near Motherwell
