The Gaelic surname MacMhuirich went through several stages of
Anglicisation, becoming McVurich, McCurrie and Currie. They are
all the same name really.

Hi Lois - I don't think i have anything for you. I have 3
Archibald Curries in my tree, one of which was born in 1840 and
married a Flora, but she was a Campbell born in Scotland. They
moved to Canada (Simcoe Co) as a family. I haven't a Flora
Galbraith born in CA.
Wayne's 3x ggm was a Mary Currie (1787-1862) whose parents were
Donald Currie (1760-1840) and Ann McEachern. I haven't been able
to ascertain Donald's siblings, if any, or his parents. The only
info I've found lately from another tree shows Donald's father as
Ivar McVurich. There's no explanation for the name change so I
haven't added this to my tree. Didn't mean to digress but where I
was going with that thought was that Donald may have been a
great-uncle to your Archibald. Sorry that I'm not able to follow
that line at all to see if that's even a remote possibility.
