Difficult to pin down Courtenay antecedent
Dear Courtenay Society,
I have started doing our family history and I have hit a wall with
regard to my Irish Courtenay relative. I have a Capt Thomas Courtenay
born Antrim about 1770. He married Sarah Lefroy (1773-1836;sister of
Thomas Langlois Lefroy). Their daughter Anne Lefroy Courtenay(b
1804) married George Holmes in 1827. Their daughter Mina (1854-1936)
married David Gray in Brisbane Australia in 1874. We now live in
Melbourne.
I am aware both the Courtenays and the Lefroys have very significant family histories attached to the.
Supposedly the parents of Thomas Courtenay were Joseph Courtenay and Mary Chalmers, but I have no real evidence of this.
Can anyone help solve this mystery for me? Thank you for this website. Liz G
