Many thanks for your message. A friend did a few look ups for me (thank you very much to the friend - much appreciated  ;D)  So far she has not uncovered the death of James Courtney, apparently named as Merchant Seaman on the marriage of Andrina (Annie in 1903) as you also indicated.

Just to go a stage further with the siblings of Andrina - quite possibly these are the marriages of the children of James Courtney and Christina Lapere:-

James Lapene Courtney married Elizabeth (Lizzie ) Duff 1908 and he died 1954 Dundee.

John married  Jane Samson or Johnstone 1921 Dundee died there in 1949

Agnes married George Fleming 1912 Dundee and died there in 1969

Joan Courtney married William McDonald 1915 Dundee died there in 1968.

Apparently you would be able to download all the certs on Scotlands people -

except for the deaths for Christina and Agnes.

Regards
Sandra
