Title: Trants of Dovea House
Post by: mourne fisher on Saturday 19 December 09 18:44 GMT (UK)

Hi,

I am looking for information on John Trant, of Dovea House (born 1818 or 1819).  One of his daughters (Eleanor Nina Trant) was my 2X Great grandmother.  She married a Rev Richard Nash.  Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks,

Trevor Fisher

You may already know this but the Trant Papers are in the National Library Dublin and there is quite a lot of information on the family in them. If you go to website http://www.nli.ie/en/ManuscriptListResult.aspx?NameSrKey=Trant&CategorySrKey=&ListNumberSrKey=&SortAction=&SortOrderAction=asc&ResultsReqKey=
You can download a copy of the calendar. There is a mention of letter or letters from Elenore N Nash nee Trant to Lily Trant among a bundle of letter from 1879-1904. 
Hope this is of use

If you haven't got this already you will find the gravestone inscription of Eleanore Nash on this site as well as others of the Trant family.
