William Curry, or Corry (1784–1843) was an Irish politician, barrister and law officer. He sat in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom and was Serjeant-at-law (Ireland).[1]
He was born in Aughnacloy, County Tyrone,[2] only son of William Curry senior and Anne Dobbin, daughter of Leonard Dobbin senior and sister of Leonard Dobbin, for many years MP for Armagh City.[2] He was called to the Bar in 1806.[1] In 1837, on his uncle Leonard's retirement from the Commons, he successfully contested Leonard's seat, Armagh City. The following year he became Third Serjeant.[1] He vacated his seat in the Commons and his office of Serjeant-at-law in 1840, on his appointment as a Master in the Court of Chancery (Ireland).
He died in September 1843 at his nephew's house in Delgany, County Wicklow.[3] He was married to a Miss Bruce but had no children.[2] The obituary in the Gentleman's Magazine praised him as a man who was held in high esteem by the Bar and the public generally, both for his public and his private qualities.[3]
