Steve,
I am happy to report that I have located a copy of the short dowry contract for your grandparents' marriage on 16 January 1900. It records that your grandfather, Theocharis Kyriakou (who is described as being orginally from Macedonia), married Anna Konstandinou Alvanou on that day. The dowry the groom received was a house in Kalamaki (Anatolia) and jewellery.
The bride is represented in the document by her then widowed mother, Doukissa.
I hope you find this information of interest. I would be grateful if you could become a member of this Forum to make future communication easier.
I will open a separate thread in relation to your other query regarding your mother's family.
Nicholas
