Title: Louis TREVASSA
Post by: doctorbob on Friday 06 August 10 14:22 BST (UK)

Hi,

Looking up his name ... I find that there are births marriages and deaths, but precious little in any of the census data (this is quite wierd!!) - using GR for searches ... if someone could peek at another collection, I would be grateful.

I have Louis 1858, from Madeira m. Susannah. Their son Louis  1884, marries Mary Perrow 1910 and also Mary Williams 1915.

I am interested in this Louis, any children etc - he died 1918 in WW1 and is buried in France, but was wounded earlier in 1915.

The later Mary Trevassa (nee Williams) goes on to marry George Westaway, who was previously married to Eliza Wheaton. His son William Westaway marries Mary Perrow's sister Charlotte.

So there are some interesting relationships to work out here.

However, any info/help etc on the various Trevessa lines (mainly Totnes and Dartmouth) would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Rob

Thanks Linda ... I see this in GR too ...

Sometimes Louis is transcribed as Lewis (not uncommon)

Also, Travessa can be Travesse or Travessey

But, if you check even FreeBMD, you will find BMD's for many Travessa's who you would expect to see on the various returns, and other than these 4 *and 3 in 1911), none ... very odd.

Perhaps they all managed to be at sea when the censuses were taken??   :D

I found some more records and this is what it looks like to me so far ...


Louis Trevassa (of Madeira) married firstly Susanna Lavers in 1883 and they had:

(Kate b 1879 - born as Kate Lavers to Susannah Lavers before marriage)
Amelia Louise b 1883 and married 1903
Louis b 1884 and married 1910 Mary Elizabeth Perrow
Maria b 1892 and married 1919 Reginald Welch
Frank b 1895 and died 1901

Susanna died in 1913 and Louis married again to Mary A Williams in 1915


Next generation

Louis Trevassa (b 1884 - d 1918) married 1910 Mary Elizabeth Perrow and they had

Louis William C b 1910 and married 1936 Amelia P Rogers
Barbara FV b 1912 and died unmarried 1981
Ivy MI b 1914 and died 1917
Doris b 1918 and married 1937 Morris A Vickery

Next generation

Louis William C (b 1910 - d 1989) and married 1936 Amelia P Rogers and they had

Morris WL b 1939



I'll post the records I found so you can see what you make of them and whether they match yours
