comments: I'm looking for information on Joseph Courtney of Ireland. 

Probably Dungannon Ireland. I believe he owned a linen factory there. He had a daughter, Alicia Courtney that married a Capt. Hutton Rowe Spencer of England. They eloped and came to Newark New Jersey in America, then moved to Ohio. Alicia was born in 1782 in Ireland. I don't have the dates of her father Joseph or her mother's name. If anyone can help me with information on him, I would be thankful. Thank you so much. Verma Hoeltke

William Courtenay MP (1830s)

ancestor: William Courtenay MP (1830s)

comments: This enquiry realates to the imposter Sir William Courtenay and the genuine William, who may or may not have been an MP in 1834. I live in the village where the 1838 Courtenay Rebellion took place and have a keen interest in local history. Among my Courtenay memorabilia is British Free Frank envelope front signed by William Courtenay, sent from London on July 25th 1834 and addressed to a Mr Howard of Killin, near Edinburgh. Free Franking was granted to Members of Parliament for letters sent on Parliamentary business. But I have failed to find a William Courtenay serving as an MP in 1834. There is a slight posibility that the signature is that of the imposter John Thom. He stood as MP for Canterbury in 1832 but was defeated. It seems unlikely that he would have been able to use a free frank two years later. Does anyone know of a William Courtenay who might have entitled to use Parliamentary privilege in 1834? Many thanks.

comments: I'm looking for information on a William Courtenay born in London in 

September, 1832. According to the 1900 US Federal Census, William Courtenay was born in England in September, 1832, the son of an English father and a Scottish mother. However, the 1880 Federal Census lists him as being born in 1834. William Courtenay came to the United States probably sometime around 1857. 1890 veterans records show that he served as a 1st Sergeant in Company H, Regiment 13 infantry in the US Civil War between August 1, 1864 and July 1, 1867. By the 1870s he was out in the Dakotas serving as an Indian Agent at Fort Berthold. In 1880, he married Fannie Patterson of New York City in Bismarck, North Dakota. By about 1884, the Courtenays moved to Miles City, Montana where they remained until William Courtenay's death in 1901. He was a real estate and insurance agent, as well as a cattle rancher. Does anyone have any information on who William Courtenay's parents were? Thanks!

comments: I have been trying to trace my son, Ryan Courtenay's heritage. He is I have trouble because in our immediate family there are no longer any Courtenay ancestors alive. Francis (married Irene Beaton) is the son of Wilfred and Ellen A Noonan, Wilfred is the son of Matthew Lawlar Courtenay (1857-1915) and he is the son of John Gerald (1831-1878). This is all I have. Any information and/or documents that will help me figure out any other history of his family would be greatly appreciated.

comments: My mother was Mary Gertrude West Courtney b in Co Antrim Ireland. Her father was Thomas Courtney son of Henry Courtney and Anne Ellen Dawson, m 1866 Co Antrim. My research only goes back as far as John Courtney of Glenavy Co Antrim in 1800. I know Richard Courtenay b c 1600 of Powderham Castle Devon England m Mary MacDonald dau of Earl of Antrim c 1626,and sons John, William Francis, were born at Aughagallon Antrim Ireland. I have great uncles John, William ,Francis, Charles etc. The same Christian names are reoccurring over the generations. I would appreciate finding out the ancestry of John Courtney of Glenavy in 1800,Co Antrim Northern Ireland. The Courtneys were Church of Ireland (Anglican communion)Thank you,

Courtenay Coat of Arms?

submitted on Monday, February 21, 2011 at 00:13:34

e_mail: jdfp@buzzassociates.co.uk
ancestor: Early 1800s Powderham Branch?

comments: I am seeking to identify a coat of arms as follows:

Crest - coronet with ostrich plumes (no dolphin)

Motto - Ubi lapsus Quid feci

Shield - divided into two halves by vertical line (impaled)

Husband's side (LHS) Courtenay shield with gold ground, 3 red roundels with the addition of 5-pointed star (mullet)in red. This latter may be a 'mark of cadency' implying the shield is that of the 3rd son of the current family head.

Wife's side (RHS) Unknown shield with silver ground, blue chevron, above which is a horizontal row of 4 blue dagger-like crosses pointing downwards.


Can anyone help with names or possible dates please?
