comments: Her second marriage was to a REGINALD LATHAM WORKMAN.How long did this 

marriage last and were there any children from it? I cant find them on any census 

except her alone  here in Stevenage in 1901 but states shes married. 

My interest is we strongly believe that they are the parents of my Father's Mother

who they left at a pub and was bought up the Publicans family !! 

Elsie was very dark haired with brown eyes and almost olive skin, I have seen one 

portrait of LAURA SAMUDAand they certainly look alike. 

Any help or further information would be gratefully received.

comments: David Courtenay of Newry, Ireland, was born about 1771 and died January 1846 and was buried at St. Patricks, Newry. He was my gt/gt/gt/ grandfather. He married Charlotte Bosquett in 1797 and I can find nothing about her. Do you have any information on this Bosquett family who seemed to be living in Dublin? Any information would be greatly received! Margaret Le Mesurier PS I can bring you up to date with some of the decendants of the above David Courtenay if you are interested.

Cmments: 

My great grandfather, Isaac John Courtney, was born in County Clare,

Ireland c. 1853. He was in the Royal Irish Constabulary 1871-76. After he was dismissed, he came to Tasmania Australia and married Elizabeth Alice Phillips in 1883. I believe his parents were Isaac Courtney and Margaret Ardell, Protestants, married in Kilkee (registration district Kilrush) on 18 September 1846. I would like to know more of both of these, and their forebears.

comments:

According to census records Elizabeth Sarah Courtenay Harris was born in 1817 in Exmouth, Devon. She married Daniel Francis Close 11 Dec. 1842; on this marriage certificate her father is listed as Edward Harris, a carpenter. The family history passed on by one of her granddaughters is that Elizabeth's father was a sea captain from Devon, England. (Did he later become a carpenter?) Her paternal grandfather, also a sea captain, married (?) a Miss Courtenay. Miss Courtenay was the daughter of the Earl of Devon. "The Earl of Devonshire disowned his daughter, Miss Courtenay, when she ran away with a sea captain,...."
