Notes

Note N53The Courtenay Family In Ireland - extract. 1

Henry Courtenay of Holyhead, Isle of Anglesley, England, formerly of Dublin, gent., may probably be another son of Henry Courtenay of Harrymount (primus) and Mary Major, his wife. The only proof that I should suppose he was, is that he had a brother, John Courtney of Dublin, Esq., and a brother, Edward Courtney, living in April,1782, and June 1783. The latter date is contradictory, as administration of the goods of Edward Courtenay of Harrymount was granted in Feb., 1783, he being then deceased. (vide p. ). 1

However, I give the following notes, although they may not be in this connection:-. 1

Administration of the goods of Henry Courtney, late of Dublin, gent., deceased, intestate, granted to John Courtney, late of Holyhead, but formerly of Dublin, gent., brother of said deceased, dated 8 June, 1782. In a cause by Edward Courtney, brother of Henry Courtney, late of Holyhead, but formerly of Dublin, gent., deceased, against John Courtney, also brother of said deceased, having taken out letters of administration pretending said deceased had died intestate, said (p. 93) letters of administration were revoked and committed to Ellen Courtney widow of said deceased and sole executrix named in will of said deceased, she promoting the said cause against said John Courtney, dated 11 April, 1782. Ellen Courtney, not desiring to bear the burden of administratrix, duly renounced, and desired said Edward Courtney to undertake the same, and therefore letters of administration were granted to him, 12 June, 1783. Henry Courtney's will leaves all his property situate in Dublin to his wife, Ellen Courtney, and her heirs, and appoints her sole executrix. The will is dated 11 Apr., 1732; probate in the Prerogative Court of Ireland granted to Edward Courtney, brother to deceased, 11 June, 1783, the widow renouncing. The will was also proved in the diocese of Bangor, England, 25 April, 1782, by the widow, Ellen Courtney.
