>ancestor=Julia Adelaide Courtenay
>comments=Mrs. Julia Adelaide C. Duncan. Born in 1831 this lady was the lineal descendant of an old English Courtenay family, who in the reign of Queen Elizabeth possessed great social and political rank. One of her forebears came to Ireland with Colonel Peter Bass in a military expedition and married that officer's daughter. From this union sprang the Courtenays of Grange, possessing estates in the Counties of Antrim and Derry [Co. Londonderry]. Julia Adelaide was youngest daughter of Joseph Courtenay, Grange and wife of Robert Duncan, Portglenone, member of a worthy Magherafelt family.

>She died in 1889. My great aunt was married to Joseph Courtenay Duncan, who I believe to be a nephew of Robert [NOTE: Joseph Courtenay Duncan was Robert's son, not his nephew as I first thought. I have confirmed this by locating Robert's will at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland on a visit there], and I am keen to learn anything I can about this branch of the family.
