Hi My name is Brian and I believe I am a descendant of Emily Courtenage. I recall I had a Great Aunt known as Aunt "Em" who was a sister of my Grandmother, Lilian Riley Nee Courtenage.
I wasn't aware that Great Aunt Emily married, but I maybe wrong and her husband may have passed away very young. She did not have any children. She lived in Brighton all her life, I believe she lived near to Seven Dials area in Buckingham Place. I remember going there with my Mother a couple of times to visit her. My Great Uncle Charlie moved and lived in East Grinstead with his wife Winifred. He worked as a Bus Driver for Southdown Buses I recall .
My Grandmother, her sister Lilian, had four children, Hilda, Ruby, Sheila and Alan. Ruby Riley being my mother. Her husband, William Riley was a butcher and for many years had his own shop in Islingwood Road, Brighton and they lived in Coleman Street.
I hope this information helps you. My E:Mail address is
