>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.

Just beginning my wife's genealogy. Her mother was Esmee Doreen Courtenay (b. 20 Jun 1912 in St. Blazey, Cornwall, and later married Derek Lawler Piercy Edwards).   Esmee, in turn, was the daughter of Leonard Treloar Courtenay and Edith Marie Bennett (d. circa 1946-47).  Esmee's brother was Lionel Courtnay.  I am unaware of other possible siblings.  I believe Leonard was a younger son of the then present Earl, but have no further information regarding him.

Can anyone please provide hint(s) as to how I might best proceed?  I would be most grateful (as would my wife, Adrienne Carole (nee) Edwards); in return, I would be pleased to forward extensive information re descendants of Esmee and Derek (who were both interned with their son, Nigel, in the Stanley POW in Hong Kong by the Japanese for the duration of WW II).

Thank you so much.

Her father was Peter Courtenay,b.1536-d.28 May,1606. Her Mother was Katherine Reskymer,b.1546-d.?, Her father was Wm.Reskim(no further knowledge of this >family). Anne Courtenay married Gilbert Holcombe,b.1565,Hole,Devonshire, Eng.,d.1633/1634,Pembroke,Wales. Their Son, Thomas Holcomb(e),b.1595/97,Pembrokeshire,Wales.Mar.14 May,1634, Dorchester,Suffolk,MA.d7Sept.1657,Winsor,Hartford,CT.

This Thomas was my immigrant ancestor, and 13 generations from him, my Father, John Wm. Holcomb,b.1895,d.1976.I do have the ancestors of Anne Courtenay, back to Hugh De Courtenay, b.14 Sept.1273,d.23 Dec.1340. 

Any more info much appreciated, of the Courtenay line. Especially would like history of the family, their connections to the royal families of England, etc. I know the Holcomb(e) family also was a honorable one, going back to John Holcomb(e) who fought in the 3rd. Crusade, and won land where Holcombe Court,Devon, now stands.I feel great pride to be connected, to these two great families.

Thank you,

>comments: Frances Courtenay was born in England in 1682 but lived much of her life in Yorktown, Va. Her second husband was "Scotch" Tom Nelson, grandfather of the noted patriot. These people and others are covered in a ca. 1936 book by my grandmother, Frances Norton Mason, "John Norton and Sons, Merchants of London and Virginia," which used to be sold at the Library of Congress. Would like to know about her ancestry including any connections in the interesting online article by Brent Southgate.  Am also interested in virtually any of her descendants.  One such may have been a 1920s Arkansas author named Frances Courtenay Baylor whom I discovered online but about whom nothing is known except one book title.

Obituary of Anne Courtenay Davidson, 38, of Alexandria, Virginia, died Friday, Sept. 8, 1989

OBITUARY - Published on Monday, September 11, 1989 in The Oak Ridger, Oak Ridge, Tennessee  

ANNE COURTENAY DAVIDSON, Formerly of Oak Ridge, Tennessee

Anne Courtenay Davidson, 38, of Alexandria, VA, died of cancer Friday, Sept. 8, at her home.

She was the daughter of Jackson B. and Mary Ann Davidson of 117 Orange Lane, who are both on the staff of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, he as a development staff engineer and she as an information analyst.

A native of Oak Ridge, Ms. Davidson had lived in the Washington, D.C., area since 1973.  At the time of her death she was vice president of the Foundation Endowment in Alexandria, where she directed conferences held in Windsor, England, the United States and other countries for influential Americans to discuss with British leaders, aristocracy, and members of Parliament[,] governmental problems such as education, defense, energy, space, welfare and judicial reforms, her family said.

Conferences in England were held semi-annually at St. George’s House on the grounds of Windsor Castle, with receptions at the home of the Duke of Wellington, who headed the British arm of the foundation.

Ms. Davidson had previously worked in Washington for the Mexican Embassy and the Bank of Mexico and for several cultural and artistic exchange programs under grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Among symposiums in which she participated were “Mexico Today” with Meridian House, and “Japan Today” with the Japan-America Society.

A graduate of the University of the Americas in Puebla, Mexico, she also attended Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, Ga., and studied a Schiller College in Paris, France.  She was fluent in Spanish and French and her translation of a Mexican diplomat’s short story was published in the American’s Magazine, the journal of the Organization of American States. She also translated from Spanish to French the official document opening diplomatic relations between Mexico and Chad, her family said.

Ms. Davidson attended Cedar Hill Elementary School and Jefferson Junior High School and graduated in 1969 from Oak Ridge High School, where she was a National Merit Finalist.  She spent two summers in Mexico with a high school group led by Ernest Cosson.

An avid lover of music, Ms. Davidson studied piano in Oak Ridge with Ruth Fisher, Effie Carlson and Sarah Hayes and had attended the Sewanee Summer Music Center at the University of the South.   As a high school student she served as piano accompanist to a ballet troupe led by Joan Kuntsch.

Ms. Davidson was interested in art, art history, and interior design. She collected dollhouse miniatures and enjoyed reading, travel, swimming and snorkeling.  She loved flowers, and above all, her many friends, her family said.

In addition to her parents, she is survived by a sister, Adele E. Davidson of Gambler, Ohio, who teaches English at Kenyon College, a brother, William C. [Courtenay] Davidson, recently of Ferndale, Wash; her grandmother, Mrs. William H. Courtenay of Louisville, Ky.; and by several uncles in Kentucky, Georgia, and Virginia.

A memorial service will be held at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12, [1989], at First Presbyterian Church with the Rev. David Horne officiating.

Private graveside services will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Oak Ridge Memorial Park.

The family requests that any memorials be in the form of gifts to the American Cancer Society of Anderson County, in care of Lee Costanzo, 103 Case Lane, Oak Ridge, Tenn. 37830, or to the Holiday Bureau, P.O. Box 220, Oak Ridge, Tenn., 37830.

Martin Oak Ridge Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
