Courtney family in Dundee in 1880's - descendants still around?

[Alba11]

A family of Americans are visiting Dundee in the summer of this year.  Has anyone researched the Courtney family in Dundee in the 1880's.   James Courtney married in 1881 Christina Lapen and one child was Andrina Smith Thomson Courtney.  Does that ring a bell in your own researches?  I know that the family would be thrilled if there were any descendants from that marriage and siblings of Andrina.  Thanks for your help.
