by searching for Harrison births with mother maiden name Courtier and ditto with Williamson mother maiden name Courtier.

Wow, so much to take in, thanks for your kind help here,

James Courtier was married to Mary Jane Endacott, she died in about 1891 and then he married Jane Hannah Perryman

Will need to see where all this fits in now

Again many thanks for your help
