Rees Trevett

[softly softly]

Hi, Rees was born in 1855 as Rees Triver. Other surnames have been Trivitt and Trevett. He married Elizabeth Rouse in 1880 and had at least 3 children with her. By 1891 Elizabeth is by herself and one child (2 have died) No UK records show anything further re Rees. I do believe he turned up in the USA IN Pennsylvania on the 1900 census with a wife Margaret and 5 children. His christian name on this census is Reece. Can anyone please see if they can find a marriage in the usa to Margaret, and births of any of the children. His death would be good also.

Thanks

John

You may be right RJ137, I have a copy of a death cert for an Annie Edwards dated 18.5.1944 who's father is recorded as one Rees Trevett born Wales,this is what led me to the 1900 census. What is also a very close match is age in 1900=1856 and death in 1916 aged 62=1854.

Here's something else I don't understand? Reese, his wife Margarett & 5 children are all listed on the 1900 census and living on Noble Street. All records indicate Margaret died 30 Aug. 1899!!
