Some notes on the family:

John Courtis was a farmer at St Kea near Truro in Cornwall and brought his family to Aberavon between 1834-40.  He was a shiping agent and died there in 1841.  His widow, Mary (nee Hitchins) died at Aberavon aged 78 in 1872. 
Harriet, the first dau of John & Mary Courtis married Thomas Davies son of Rev John Davies (1784-1845) [I have a copy printed in Welsh of a cofiant of him dated 1847 in the British Museum.  He kept a record of 181000 miles of his travels mainly on foot!  Perhaps this survives at NLW.) and Margretta Mathias (1789-1830) the daughter of Owen Mathias a mariner from Cardigan.  Thomas Davies died 1851-54 and Harriet 
married Nicholas Bate, master mariner (son of Thomas Bate another master mariner of Port Isaac Cornwall) in 1855. The Bates had a son Nicholas J Bate, a master mariner who died at sea 1885 aged 30.
Harriet's first daughter Margretta Mathias Davies (1841-1917) married James Loveluck (1840-1895)in 1861, James Loveluck's father William was Customs Officer at Aberavon.
Harriet's first son was John Courtis Davies, master mariner, drowned in the S Atlantic 1871. Her second son Thomas Owen Davies was also a master mariner from 1871-1905.
Harriet's brother was Richard Hitchins Courtis who married Ann Foley dau of yet another master mariner and shipowner.  RHC himself owned several sailing ships at least 1874-78. He died 1904 leaving a widow.
One of Rev John Davies sons was Owen Mathias Davies born 1814 (master mariner!)and he died in Australia before 1847.
The first son of James Loveluck, William James was a partner with his father in the ship broking business, which went bankrupt in 1893.  The second son James Henry Courtis Loveluck went on a voyage with Nicholas Bate and wrote a diary of a voyage to Southern Russia in 1885 with Thomas Owen Davies, but he became an elecrician. My maternal grandfather, the 3rd son was apprenticed to his father James in 1887 and became a master mariner in 1896.  After that he was mate/master of steamships.

J Clifford (a fireman) who was drowned with the Surbiton in 1879 was my father's great grandfather.  His wife somehow went to Russia before 1850 and may have married yet another Davies so there may be more ships to find on the Dixon side too! My sister has just sold the 1927 27 ton trip boat Tamar Belle, a Dunkerque veteran, which was used on the Thames by Cptn Charles Edward Irving (1870-1955, an apprentice on the Cutty Sark)from 1932 to about 1975. She has been on the Trent since then.  My father bought the ship/business for her my sister in 1985.
My interests have wheels - a 1951 Douglas Vespa I took 6000 miles to Barcelona, Naples, Alps etc in 9 weeks in 1957, a 1932 Morris Minor tourer bought for £5 in 1959 and the 1927 20 hp Rolls-Royce limo bought by my father in 1964 for £250.  My ancestors sailed all over the world in ancient sailing ships, whilst I just drive my ancient cars across Europe(in 1960 to Russia and to Turkey in 1961 in the Morris, round the Med in 1965 in my 1962 Mini-Cooper, to Poland and Scandinavia twice in 1995 in the R-R + 1967 Safari caravan and to Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia etc in 1997. 
I still have all these vehicles, but the ex WD 16H Norton I drove to Spain and Italy in 1958 was stolen on Govt Service in 1981.
I have a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry, worked at the Laboratory of the Govt Chemist from 1964-79, then at Dept of Health until 1986 when I took very early retirement, since when I have been writing graphical display software for quality control.  I still use good old BBCBASIC on PC's
