Trengoffe manor Warleggan

[TamA77]

Hello! 

I would dearly love any photographs or information on the Manor that you may have.  I have an old exterior photograph of it before it was demolished and that is all.  An interior photograph would be amazing! 

My ancestors story is an interesting one, and I haven't finished digging around yet so I hope to find out more about his life eventually.  His name was Subrata and he was from India.  He came out to England with George Gooch, who was apparently a Captain for the East India Trading Company according to family notes made in the 1920's but I haven't found any evidence yet of this.  (There was a George Gooch who was a Captain in the records but he lived longer than this George, so perhaps he operated privately with them..)

George was travelling to visit an Uncle when he died suddenly at Wakefield in 1788.  Not too long after this Subrata shows up being baptised at the Church by Mary Gooch's second husband Francis Cole in 1789. 

Subrata took on the surname of 'Trengoffe' and very likely was sent to George's sister Mary after George's death, living at Trengoffe Manor.  Subrata ended up marrying a Cornish lady and having two children.  Only one of them survived infancy, my ancestor Mary Ann, who later changed her surname to 'Trengo' as did her mother who remarried in Cornwall in 1802.  Subrata disappears from the records after Mary Ann's baptism in 1795.  I have no idea if he died or if he left and went back to India. 

Any photographs or information on Trengoffe would be wonderful, it featured so significantly in the life of Subrata, it would be very special to know more about the place that would have been his home for a while.

Thank you,
Tamara

Hello,

This message isn’t related to Trengoffe Manor, although that is a fascinating story. But I hope to contact some people with interest in the Gooch family.

I am researching the family of John Nance Gooch of Suffolk in the late eighteenth - mid nineteenth century. I think he had sisters who made a quilt that the Quilters Guild of Great Britain has acquired for its museum collection. I am a member of the Guild and an amateur genealogist, and I have volunteered to do some research to see what I can find out about the family.

If anyone is interested in corresponding about this, I would love to hear from you.

Hello, Harlem and also others who have an interest in Trengoffe Manor, Warleggan.

I have attached a couple of photos that I was given some time ago now, when I was researching my own family in the area, it is now ok for me to post them. 

I hope that they will be of interest to those of you who have requested them from me and for whatever reason have not received the photos, or those would simply like to see them.
Apologies for not being able to post the photographs before now.

kind regards
