Courtneidge or Courtnage/Courtnadge is a rare surname that originated near the tri-border of the English counties Surrey, Sussex, and Hampshire. The Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland gives a vague description of the origin of the Courtnage surname. “English: locative name from a lost or as yet unidentified place, perhaps in SE England.” Only two variations of the surname are listed: Courtnage and Cortnage. The entry goes on to show distribution of Courtnage families in 1881, which is limited to Sussex, Hampshire, Surrey, and Middlesex.3

Notable individuals with the Courtneidge surname include the late actress Cicely Courtneidge and her brother Charles Courtneidge. Their father Robert Courtneidge was an actor and playwright who was born in Scotland in 1859. Robert’s father Charles Courtneidge, a Master Mariner, was born in Leatherhead, Surrey in 1825 to John Courtneidge and Ann Farr.

To get a more accurate estimate of the origin, I mapped out the locations of Courtneidge baptisms before 1800. These were obtained from the International Genealogical Index (IGI) on FamilySearch.org4 and Anglican Parish Register collections on Ancestry.com5, FindMyPast6, and the Sussex Online Parish Clerk.7 The 1841 and 1851 Census records give a better picture of the name’s origins than the 1881 Census the Oxford Dictionary used.

The map below shows the locations of available and surviving Courtneidge baptism records prior to 1800 (purple). The dark purple markers represent baptism records before 1700. Residence locations of Courtneidge families from the 1841 Census of England are shown in orange.8 The 1841 Census only recorded whether or not an individual was born in the county where they resided. It does not provide specific details for place of birth, so the two sets of data cannot be directly compared to one another. I included the following spelling variations: Courtneidge, Courtnadge, Cortnage, Courtenage, Courtnidge, Courtnedge.

Very early baptism records from the late 1500s through the 1600s in Chiddingfold, Godalming, and Farnham, Surrey recorded the name spelled Courtnish(e) and Courtnesh. Over time, the -ish(e) at the end of the name turned into -age, and later, -adge or -eidge.

It is clear from the map that the Courtneidge families all came from the region encompassing the Farnham and Godalming Hundreds in the southwestern part of Surrey, near the tri-county border with Hampshire and West Sussex. Earliest mentions of the name include a Johanne Courtenersch of Chiddingfold in the 1381 Poll Tax lists for Surrey;9 the will of Johannis Courtnish of Chiddingfold, Surrey, dated 16 Sep 1628;10 and John Cortinch of Northchapel, Sussex in the 1641 Protestation Returns for West Sussex.11

The earliest Courtneidge ancestor on our branch of the family was John Courtnage. He was born in 175912 and very likely the child of John Courtnage and Sarah Bridger13 of Fernhurst, a small village in West Sussex. John Courtnage Sr. and Sarah Bridger were married on 5 Feb 1755 at St Margaret of Antioch, Fernhurst, Sussex. Their first child was Sarah Courtnage was baptized on 6 Mar 1757, followed by John Courtnage on 11 Nov 1759 at St Margaret of Antioch.

John Courtnage married Hannah Clifton on 3 Feb 1786 at St. Giles Church in Ashtead, Surrey.14  The first of their nine children, William, was born later that same year in Ashtead. The couple then settled in the nearby village of Leatherhead, where John worked as a bailiff.15 The Courtnage family first appears in the Surrey Land Tax records in 1802 for Leatherhead.16 Here they are renting from James Bushell, Esq. on land formerly occupied by the Stacey family, near the families Carter, Beard, Collis, Patterson, late Sheen’s land, and Shearly’s Back Close. In 1804, John Courtnadge is mentioned by his first name and now renting the same plot of land from James Sykes, Esq.17 John and Hannah’s eight children were baptized with the surname Courtnage, but most went on to use the spelling Courtneidge later in life.

Charles Courtneidge, born in 1807, was the youngest of his siblings. He was my ancestor, the grandfather of my great-grandfather Alfred Ward. After the deaths of his parents, John and Hannah, Charles made his way up to Wandsworth. Here he appeared as a witness at Old Bailey on 15 Jun 1835, in the larceny trial of John Crutcher. Charles had purchased from him for one shilling a “duplicate of a hat.” John Crutcher had stolen the had that same day from James Morris, a bricklayer from Putney.42

JOHN CRUTCHER (15th June 1835 ) was indicted for stealing, on the 11th of June, 1 hat, value 2s.; and 1 box, value 2d.; the goods of James Morris.
JAMES MORRIS . I am a bricklayer’s labourer, and live at Putney in Surrey. On the 11th of June, I went into the fair-field at Wandsworth, where I had some swings at work—I gave the prisoner, who was with me, my jacket and waistcoat to hold—I told him there was a tobacco-box in the pocket which had a duplicate of a hat in it—he gave me the jacket back again without the box and duplicate—I went to the pawnbroker’s the next morning, and my hat had been fetched out….
CHARLES COURTERIDGE . I gave the prisoner one shilling for the duplicate of the hat, and went and got it.
GUILTY (Simple Larceny) of stealing the box. Aged 21.— Transported for Seven Years.

Charles Courtneidge and Sarah Watson, marriage 11 Jun 1838, St. Mary’s, Lambeth, Surrey.39

Charles met Sarah Watson, a shoemaker’s daughter from Chelsea. They were married on 11 Jun 1838 at St. Mary’s Church in Lambeth. Both listed their address as “New Cut.” Percy Cruikshank described the New Cut in his book Sunday Scenes in London.42

Between the Westminster Road, as marked by Astley’s Theatre, on the one side, and the Waterloo Road, marked by the Victoria, lies the region of the New Cut, Lambeth, in the heart of a colony of costermongers, roughs, thieves, with here and there a manufactory. The shops there are all carved out in the primitive style, with open fronts and bawling-touters, which appears to those who have never seen it, so picturesque and pleasing in the description of the two London apprentices in Scott’s “Fortunes of Nigel.”…With nothing worth losing in your pocket, you may venture down the New Cut on a Sunday morning. Police discipline has reduced the savages to a very decent state. The late drinkers are the Sunday marketers. The shopkeeping style is suited to the class addressed. The Sunday morning market combines both business and pleasure—it is a comic performance in which spectators take a part, and perhaps for rude ready wit, there is nothing like it out of the land.

On the previously discussed map above, which displays Courtneidge/Courtnadge locations in the 1841 Census, it is clear some of the families had begun migrating closer toward London to look for work. The northernmost orange marker is our branch of the Courtneidge family. Here Charles and Sarah Courtneidge were living at the edge of the River Thames on Barnes High Street with their sons Charles John and Reuben Henry. Sarah’s brother Joseph Watson, a recently widowed baker, was also living with the Courtneidges.43

Between 1841 and 1851, the Courtneidge family moved to Wimbledon where three more children, William, Sarah, and James were born. The family returned to Barnes in 1851 where their seventh child, Elizabeth was born.

The 1851 Census records recorded the Courtneidge family living in on the “Back Lane” by Barnes Terrace.45 The youngest child Elizabeth had not yet been named. Charles was still driving coaches, as his occupation was listed as “fly man.” A fly was a lightweight one-horse coach, the taxicab of that era. The photo at the very top of this page shows a fly-driver from the 1877 book ‘Street Life in London’ by John Thompson and Adolphe Smith. An excerpt from this section of the book reads: 46

Despite the traditional hoarse voice, rough appearance, and quarrelsome tone, cab-drivers are as a rule reliable and honest men, who can boast of having fought the battle of life in an earnest, persevering, and creditable manner.”

An excerpt from Mary Attwell’s “Childhood Memories of Barnes Village,” describes the Back Lane and the lives of the people living there in the 19th Century. The lane was later named Malthouse Passage due to its proximity to the malthouse next to the river.47

A narrow roadway led from The Terrace to Cleveland Gardens and the area known as the “Back of Terrace”…This had once divided the houses just mentioned from the ancient Barnes Malthouses. Several small adjoining houses led to the railway bridge. Beyond the bridge, a long alley skirted the railway and led to Westfields, the working class district of Barnes. The development of Back Lane began slowly in the early nineteenth century until by the middle years, it was crowded with cottages, stables and sheds all along the southern edge with a veritable warren of courts and alleys at the High Street end, the whole being airily dismissed as ‘the back of The Terrace’ or ‘the back lanes.’47

In the Ordnance Survey map above to the left, the location of “Back Lane” is visible next to the Malthouse that fronts Barnes Terrace. The larger view of the Ordnance Survey map to the right shows Barnes Terrace in relation to the Barnes Bridge over the River Thames.48 The Malthouse and Back Lane are at the corner northeast of the bridge and south of Barnes Terrace. The three-way intersection at the bottom of the map marks the point where Mortlake High Street meets Barnes Terrace, with White Hart Lane perpendicular to the two roads. Below on the left is a photo from June 2016 of that same intersection, looking from Mortlake toward Barnes Terrace. The Back Lane by Barnes High Street, now known as Malthouse Passage. It still exists as a narrow alley, shown in the photo below to the right.49

The Courtneidge family was scattered in the 1861 Census. I was not able to find Sarah Watson Courtneidge and her youngest children James, Henry, Elizabeth, and Rosina. Sarah Courtneidge was lodging at the home of James Weaver at Bell’s Cottages in Wandsworth, working as a needlewoman.74 She met and married Thomas James Ward, the son of Thomas Ward and Mary Ann Maria Walters. More on the family of Thomas James Ward and Sarah Hannah Lucy Courtneidge at: Thomas James Ward, distillery worker and builder’s labourer from Battersea

Reuben Henry Courtneidge joined the Navy in on 11 Sep 185475 and served until 13 Sep 1859.76 He was working as a carman in Putney in the 1861 Census, with his wife Eliza and 4 year-old son Henry Courtneidge .77 Reuben died the next year at the age of 22.

Rosina Courtneidge appears in the 1871 Census, working at a paper mill in Wandsworth.78 She married Alfred Ward on 21 Jul 1878 in Lambeth. Alfred was the son of Thomas Ward and Mary Ann Maria Walters, and brother of Sarah Courtneidge’s husband Thomas James Ward. Rosina and Alfred’s first child, Alfred Ernest Ward, was born 5 Jul 1879 in Battersea.79 Rosina and Alfred immigrated to America, arriving in New York on 22 Sep 1880.80 Rosina was six months pregnant. They settled in Saginaw City, Michigan, where their son Charles James Ward was born in on 26 Dec 1880.81 Rosina and Alfred had one more child, an infant boy who died on 15 Jan 1883 of croup.82 Rosina died three weeks later on 6 Feb 1883. Her obituary appeared in Saginaw City newspapers.83, 84 Alfred Ward remarried after Rosina’s death. His first child with his wife Helen Close was born on 22 Apr 1897. She was named after Rosina.85 More about Alfred Ward’s family can be found here: George Ward of Aston and Cote, Oxfordshire, brother of Thomas Ward?

Sarah Watson Courtneidge married widower William Thomas Parsons on 28 Mar 1869 at St. Mary Magdalen in Richmond, Surrey.86 After William’s death, Sarah worked as a charwoman in the Richmond Union workhouse in Surrey, where she appears in the 1881 Census.87 She died there on 10 Mar 1885 at the age of 66.88
