Trevanions

[casalguidi]

Hi Vesta

With regards to the 1900 marriage in Kensington registration district, as far as I can see it looks like Florence Eva COOPER also known as Florence Eva TREVANION married Hugh Arundell TREVANION so could it be that it is the same couple who married in the 1880s ie. they married twice - she being noted in the indexes as both COOPER and TREVANION

Hugh TREVANION was born c1858/1859 Cornwall according to the 1901 census RG13/21 folio 58 page 3

Have you found the family in the 1891 census?  Just wondering if that would give a more precise birthplace for him

Who is the Hugh C TREVANION died 1901 St George Hanover Square registration district age 71?  Could he be the one married to Frances Bowes-Lyon and possibly the one in the 1901 census at St George Hanover Square age 71 b.London RG13/84 folio 35 page 11

Extract from the will of Hugh Charles TREVANION died 20 May is mentioned in "The Times" 10 Jul 1901.

Hi Vesta

This may help a bit.  This is the 1881 census entry:

2 Chester St, St George Hanover Square
RG11/0098/103 p 27   

Hugh C. Trevanion Head M 51 b Brompton , London
Frances Trevanion wife M 48 b Edinburgh Earls Daughter
Jas. Speakman 28 b Ashton, Cheshire   Butler (Dom Serv)
Sarah Bucksey 35 U b Soberton, Hampshire Dom Serv Ladies Maid
Lily Long    13 b Brompton, London Visitor
Arundel Trevanion son U 21 b Tywardreath, Cornwall Law Student    (this looks like Hugh b 1859 or so)
Helen McQuibbon 22 b Knockando, Scotland Cook
Albert Sheepwash 18 b Borough City Footman

Hugh Arundell Trevanion baptised 28 Jul 1859 Tywardreath, Cornwall

All sources suggest that Hugh Charles married Frances Bowes-Lyon 2 Feb 1858 in Hertford.  He died 20 May 1901 - unverified!

Snippets...

Hugh Arundell Trevanion was called to the bar, November 1881.
[The Times, 18 November 1881 p10]

He appears to have been charged with bankruptcy in 1886.
[The Times, 19 May 1886 p13]
...and then met with his creditors.
[The Times 5 June 1886 p15]

And, yes, he and Florence Eva were previously married. Details of the divorce proceedings were published in The Times, 27 October (page 3) and 12 December 1887 (page 3).

Clearly their second marriage didn't work out either. In 1908 she petitioned the court to send Trevanion to prison "for breach of an undertaking given to the Court on January 27, 1908, whereby he was not directly or indirectly to molest or threaten his wife".
[The Times 26 May 1908 page 3]

Full details of their second divorce appeared in The Times on 4 July 1908 (page 5). The article mentions that their first marriage took place on 10 June 1882 at the Chelsea Registry Office, and their second on 20 July 1900 at the Kensington Registry Office. The first marriage was dissolved by decree nisi on 10 December 1887, absolute on 26 June 1898. (Trevanion's second wife had died, leaving them free to remarry in 1900). Curiously Hugh Trevanion is referred to as Captain Trevanion in this article.

Also...
Florence Eva Trevanion died on 3rd March 1916. A legal notice concerned her Will and the distribution of her estate appeared in The Times on 23rd June 1916, page 2

A very big Thank you to you all--  I never imagined  the same couple getting married twice, no wonder nothing made sense. Was there a name or date for the in between marriage i.e beween Hugh Arundell & the 2nd time around Florence Eva?
You are all really kind

Hi Vesta

Hugh Trevanion's second marriage (between divorces) took place in 1888.
[December quarter 1888, London City, vol 1c page 88]

His bride was either Ellen Elizabeth COOLEY or Charlotte Amy KEY.

It was probably Charlotte Amy KEY because the death of a Charlotte Amy TREVANION was registered in Brentford in the June quarter of 1900 [volume 3a page 49].

and of course Hugh and Florence remarried on 20 July 1900.

[Vesta]

Very many Thanks Dave,  Hugh was certainly a devil for punishment, or perhaps it was Florence. No wonder one of their children committed suicide!!

Hi Vesta

I'm sorry to say that Hugh seems to be at fault. If you read the articles in The Times you will see that Florence's grounds for divorce were (on both occasions) based on accusations of drunkenness, womanising, adultery and brutality on his part. The only reason Florence married him again was (quote) "for the sake of her children".

Hugh was a qualified barrister, but was later referred to as "Captain Trevanion". Perhaps his bankruptcy resulted in him being debarred and he then followed a career in the Army or Navy?
