Biography

I don't know any information about him, other than his name. I'm going to guess that he was about 20 at marriage, and 5 years into the marriage before Mary was born, therefore, 1918-15=1903 for the approx year of birth for Richard, I'll put before this date for his birth.

Richard was married three times.

From a Descendant:

John Courtney was married to Elizabeth "Jane" Hook. They had 9-10 children between 1877 and 1899. But only one boy, William, born 1889. I may have missed another son though, can't be sure. Richard is used a fair bit in the Courtney family, Johns father was also a Richard
