Cornwall / Re: The Trenwith family, Cornwall
« on: Thursday 05 January 17 11:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hi James - my mother was a Trenwith, the last in her line descended from John Trenwith, Richard Rowe Trenwith and Robert Watson Trenwith.  Richard was the only one in his line to stay in Scotland, the others all went to New Zealand.  I have quite a lot of information going back many years but my main quest is to establish who were the parents of William Trenwith, convict, transported from the UK and who died in Melbourne and was buried in a paupers grave in 1873.  I cannot for the life of me find any trace of his ancestors.  His son was an influential politician and unionist in Melbourne after leaving Launceston in Tasmania to move to the main land.  He did not attend his father's funeral and obviously didn't acknowledge him as William died in the Immigrants Home in Melbourne.  All records of his state his parents as unknown but I have copies of his convict records which are very interesting if you are at all interested.  Regards  Angela
