Hi everyone,
I'm researching the Trenwith family in Cornwall (and beyond) and would welcome any information to point me in the right direction.
My Great Uncle completed a vast amount of genealogical research over many years on the Trenwith family when he was alive, much of it completed before the days of the Internet. He spent alot of time in Somerset House and (obviously) Cornwall, but also travelled to New Zealand and Australia (among other places) in the name of research.
I am now putting his research online for anyone to look at in the spirit of free collaboration (
www.ivyonline.co.uk).
There is obviously a lot of information to put onto the website and I want to join-up a lot of areas of his research that he may not have had the time/resources to pursue.
I am particularly interested in:
The origins of the Trenwith Tree. A lot of information can be found on the Internet and I am keen to understand the 'missing' link where it appears the male line of the Trenwith family dies out. From what I have found so far the Trenwith family descends from the Baille family after the War of the Roses.
My Great Uncle's Trenwith research goes all the way back to 12th/ 13th Century but appears unable to link the Baille/ de Trenwithe family tree with the Trenwith's of his vast tree which continues to present day.
William Arthur Trenwith (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Trenwith)
I have a couple possible links from the original cornwall family that lead to this Australian historical figure, but need to confirm a number of details.
I am very much interested in any information pertaining to the Trenwith family genealogy and any related families - the more information the better.
The information collated by my Great Uncle is quite huge so there are endless multiple points from which to research from.
To see the Trenwith research I have managed to put on to the Internet please go to (
www.ivyonline.co.uk) and have a look. (As there is so much information it is taking along time to get everything accurately uploaded - apologies for the slowness)
Any pointers or assistance would be greatly appreciated, and I am ready to collaborate/help too
Many thanks in advance
James
