comments= I have traced my ancestors back to the above named Thomas Courtney who was born in Chittlehampton in Devon circa 1826. I know he died on the above date. I am having problems finding his records prior to 1851 census and would be interested to know if he is connected to your family society. If so, I would like to join the society and find more family connections further back. Are you able to advise me if he is connected and/or if you have records that I could [have] access to?
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Kind regards,

My aunt who has now died had a family history made but its whereabouts are unknown to me or my family.
I was told that our family name was de Courtney/Courtenay and that we were descended from French ancestors.
Ps-If I want to trace my family history can I do this through your society and how do I become a member?

Courtney was her second marriage I believe and family story says that she lived in Puyallup, WA, however, she is buring in Shenandoah Co., VA in the Shull family plot. I would like to locate the name of the Courtney family she connects to and if there are any descendants of this line.

comments=He is not an ancestor of mine, but I am still curious.

Does the Courtenay Society have a more specific date of birth (month and/or day) for him, besides just the year (1382)?

I guess that he was born either at a village called Chudleigh or at Powderham Castle.

Thank you.

comments=Elizabeth allegedly married a William White and a daughter Amye White was born and baptised on the 10th June 1604 in Colyton Devon.
Can anyone out there confirm this? I do not know Elizabeth's parents name apart from De Courtenay and Longmaide. A De Courtenay castle was in this area - e.g., Colcomb, so it might tie up although the Courtenay family had dropped the "De" by this time. And I would say that Elizabeth was probably born out of wedlock because of the use of both parents' names.
Would apreciate any assistance in this.
Many Thanks, Roger Churm

ancestor=one who was a General in the British Army circa 1940s/1950s
comments=When I was a young soldier in the British Army during the Korean War in the early 1950s I was hospitalised for 3 months (late 1951) at the Royal Cambridge Military Hospital in Aldershot, England. During that time I became friendly with a young lady whose name -- alas -- I have since forgotten, but who was around my own age (I was born in 1932), who worked as a volunteer in the Hospital library, whose father was a General in the British Army, and who lived at Powderham Castle in Devon. I have no knowledge that she was a member of the Courtenay family, but if her father was indeed a GenerAL, it does seem likely.

In 1953 I was in the area and so called at Powederham Castle. I remember asking for her by name at the Lodge at the Castle gates, and being directed to the Castle itself, which means she must have been known to the people there. However, on my way up the drive a horse was sick all over me! The people at the lodge cleaned me up, but I was in no state to go calling at the Castle, so left, and have never since been in that locality.

I am curious, after all these years, as to what became of her in her later life, and wondered if through your website you could help? I have been in correspondence with the family at Powderham who cannot work out who she was, so you are my last resport.

If she was around 20 or so in 1951, her father would presumably have been around 40-50 or so, which means it is likely he was in the British Army during World War Two. Can anyone identify him?

Many thanks!

comments=Wild theory: he might have been a son of Lavinia Frances Courtenay nee Graham. Reason for this assumption: he was said to have been a cousin of Lavinia Frances' niece.

Question: Did any Courtenay marry a woman named Lavinia Frances Graham (b. 1791)? Possible connection with the Grahams of Netherby?

Birth of Leonard Walter Courtenay: about 1831 (where?)
Death: unknown
Seems to have been raised in Stade, Hannover, Germany.
1849 probably a university student in Germany.
Religion: anglican or lutheran or reformed. Confirmation Stade, (Hannover, Germany) 1845.

Photograph in my possession, format of a visiting card, taken about 1860/1870 by Abdullah Freres, Constantinoples, Photographer of His Imperial Majesty the Sultan.
During the 1840s mentioned as a close friend and relative to families von Hassell / Cooper / DuBourdieu then in and about Stade, Hannover, Germany. Possessed an album; contributions between 1840 and 1847 in German and English by members of said families. Including Lavinia Sally Anne Dubourdieu (mother of Lavinia Frances Graham) who might have been his grandmother. (Dubourdieu was the name of her third husband; Graham was the first.)
