I am a direct descendant of William Trenwith and William Arthur Trenwith. My Grandmother's maiden name was Trenwith. There is some doubt if William arthur is the son of William the convict. There is also a half brother named James Hickling whose father Joseph Hickling was also a convict.

Beatrice is my direct ancestor who as you stated was married to William Trenwith also a convict. She was allegedly married to a Joseph Hickling,convict and they had a child who was named James. There is some doubt to William Arthur Trenwith to being William's son. There was another son whose name I cannot remember at the moment. William Arthur took his young brother to Hobart Town before moving to Melbourne. The elder William,the convict, moved to Melbourne also and was buried in a pauper's grave,his politician son did not attend. I believe Beatrice died in Tasmania and was also in the female factory from where they were assigned their work assignments. Hope this information is helpful to you-Brenda.
