Английская Википедия:Hannah Courtoy
Hannah Courtoy (1784 - 26 January 1849), born Hannah Peters, was a London society woman who inherited a fortune from the merchant John Courtoy in 1815. Her distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum in London's Brompton Cemetery has been the subject of considerable curiosity and speculation ever since a report by Reuters in 1998 repeated claims that it contained a working time machine.
Life
Hannah Courtoy was born Hannah Peters[1] in 1784, her occupation was a maid.[2] She had three daughters out of wedlock with John Courtoy, Mary Ann (1801),[3] Elizabeth (1804-1876),[4] and Susannah (1807-1895).Шаблон:Citation needed In 1830, Susannah married Septimus Holmes Godson,[5] a barrister of Gray's Inn.[6]
In 1815, Courtoy inherited a fortune from the elderly merchant John Courtoy (born Nicholas Jacquinet in France, 1729) through a Will that was disputed in court.
Death
Courtoy died on 26 January 1849,[7] at 14 Wilton Crescent, Belgrave Square, one of the most expensive areas of London. Her Will is held in the British National Archives.[1][8]
Tomb
Courtoy's distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum of 1854[9] in Brompton Cemetery, where her unmarried daughters Elizabeth and Mary Ann are also interred, has been the subject of considerable curiosity because of rumours that it might be or contain a working time machine, a speculation that has been fuelled by various articles and recordings made by the musician Stephen Coates of the band The Real Tuesday Weld[10][11][12]
The Egyptologist Joseph Bonomi the Younger is buried nearby.
