Looking for the COURTIS family

[BCC]

Thank you all so very much for the replies ... very sweet of you all

To Lizdb ,, see dates below

To rossie99 ,,  The date of marriage could have been correct for my GG Grandparents but only name which meant anything was James.

To rutht22000 ,,, No ,,, those names don't mean anything  .. sadly ... though it was instilled in me that St Michaels Mount is 'my family history' what-ever that was meant to mean.  History passed down is that centuries ago, my family used to live on St Michaels Mount.

Lillian (my gran) was born either in 1900 or 1901 in October ... have no idea of the date.    Gran had two sisters, Audrey, the eldest and Hilda, the youngest and as far as I know two brothers ,,, could be  Jack and James. I was informed that one of these brothers was drowned on the causeway in Cornwall ,,, have no idea when or how old he was.  Audrey married Ernst Wright before they left to live here in South Africa.  None of the children returned to the UK.

The name I was given was Jas G ,,, this could be short of Jasper.  Lillian, Hilda and grandparents left in 1914 from what memory serves me, Liverpool.

I feel helpless as I am the only family member left from this side of the family and no documentation therefore any info is greatly appreciated.

Do you know Audrey's approximate year of birth as may be able to find them that way...?

 Hilda was younger than Lilian? Voyage details Rosie found had Hilda age 16 and Lilian age 13 ...

The Hilda I found in 1901 are looknig less likely as no older sister Audrey there.
And dads in both case are too old to be children of the marriage that Rosie found ...

To Lizdb,

Hilda would have been younger than 14 when they left the UK.  She was married out here and had one child Beryl.  Thankyou for coming back to me, but I know that is not the correct Hilda.

Hi Lizdb ....  you could be correct in that Lillian was the youngest ... but .. big question to that as I have always understood Hilda to be the youngest.  I stand corrected.

Thank you

To Rosie,

That is my family. 

Lillian, Hilda and from what I was told their grandparents.   I have no idea what Lillian and Hilda's parents names where.    All I have is a photo and the family always referrd to her to me as GG Courtis.

Thanks a Million

Hi Ruth ,,, you have now given me the names of my G Grandparents whose names I never knew, nor did I ever meet. 


Thank you so much

Lillian (my gran) was born either in 1900 or 1901 in October ...

If she is the Lilian Beatrice Courtis registered September qtr 1901 her birthday would not have been October.
