comments: I have traced my Courtney Family Tree back to my third great grandfather John Courtney and his marriage to Margaret Dickson in 1797 at St Anne Soho, London. I believe some of his siblings may have gone to America.Also from an old family letter the surname may have been Courtenay. As there are many John Courtneys on Family Search I am unable to find his parents.I should be grateful for any links to John Courtney who was probably born between 1760 and 1777.

comments: Hello::

Looking for any information on a Lily Courtney b. approx. 1870 timeframe somewhere in UK. She was married to a George Alex Stewart and had two sons, born in Darjeeling, India. George Eric St. Lucien Courtney Stewart was my grandfather, b. 6/6/1886. He had one sibling, named Keith who was KOA in WW1. I believe Lily's father may have been a surgeon named Charles Frederick Courtney. Any feedback or leads, however remote are deeply appreciated.

comments: Hello
I am on the usual quest of tracing ancestors and although I seem to have several branches of the Courtenay family as my ancestors, I am currently interested in Elizabeth Courtenay ( I think born at Powderham in 1487 and died in Plympton St Mary) Elizabeths father was Philip Courtenay (born at Powderham in 1432). Elizabeth married Sir William Strode of Newnham Park Plypton. My question is about the property Elizabeth brought into the Strode family which I understand was an estate called "Lough Torr" which I think was knocked down and had Newnham Park built in it's place. any information regarding Elizabeth or her father Philip will be gratefully recieved.

To put things in Context I am a direct male descendant of the first Earl of Cork Richard Boyle and Richards 6th son Viscount Francis Boyle. Francis Boyle's son Hon richard Boyle married Elizabeth Ponsonby; Elizabeths Grandmother was Anne Strode the daugther of Sir William Strode and Elizabeth Courtenay.

Kind regards
Brett

comments: Hello

I'm researching my family history and I thought the Courtenay Society might provide me with some assistance to overcome an obstacle I've met.
My 8 x great grandparents were John Clobery b. circa 1650 (of Bradstone, Devon) and Elizabeth COURTENAY 1656 - 1699 (daughter of Sir William Courtenay, 1st Bt., of Powderham Castle).

Did this John Clobery marry twice, 1st Elizabeth Courtenay, 2nd Anne Cranmer?

Who was John Clobery's father?

Is this John Clobery connected to / or the same John Clobery who assisted General Monck in restoring Charles II to the throne?

I believe the Clobery family was a very established family in Bradstone, Devon for 100s of years and with the link to the Courtenays by the above union, any additional information by Courtenay Society would be very much appreciated.

Are there any Courtenay Society members that have the same individuals in their tree?

Regards, Daniel Benest (from Jersey, Channel Islands)

ancestor: Eleanor COURTENAY who married James ANDERSON

comments: Eleanor COURTENAY was the wife of James ANDERSON. Their daughter Jane/Janet ANDERSON married William McEWEN/McKEOWN at Sixmilecross, Tyrone, Ireland in 1857. By 1861 William and Jane McEwen were living in Ayrshire, Scotland, where they had 7 children. Their 3rd child, James, was born and baptised at Sixmilecross in 1866.

Jane McEwen nee Anderson died in Ayrshire, Scotland in 1899, and her parents are listed on her death certificate as James Anderson and Eleanor Courtenay. Her death was registered by her husband, William McEwen, and that both her parents were both deceased at the time of her death.

Does anyone know anything about Eleanor Courtenay?
Many Thanks
Wendy
