Hello all – from Ireland, Nov 2013
I
am not a Courtenay but I have a special interest in sundials and am
currently researching a slate sundial, dated 1817 with a rusty iron
gnomon. The dial is engraved with a compass rose, urns and a Coat of
Arms, and is inscribed 'Thomas Courtenay Esq BALLYNACLASHY Anno Domini
1817. Ballynaclashy is a townland near Middleton Co. Cork, Ireland and I
have found that Thomas, a sixth son, and his brother George were
residing there in a house called ‘Glenhill’ (which still exists) in
1823.
As
I am working from a poor photo (I have asked for closeups but so far
none are forthcoming) I would like to see a copy of the Coat of Arms
that he would have used.
Can anybody help with this or any other info regarding Thomas.
Regards
Michael J. Harley
