Hello, I have my 4th great grandfather John Trevet/Trevitt as being born in Puncknowle in 1775 and married to Martha Russell at Abbotsbury in 1809 then as a widower to Ann Farwell in 1819 in Bridport. The record says he was from Abbotsbury. I've found a Poor Law Settlement and Removal record of 1843 in which he says his parents were John Trevett/Trivett and Elizabeth Sprake and he was born in Puncknowle which is what I had on my tree but he goes through the details of his life saying who he has worked for and where and says he married Elizabeth at Loders who had since died. (I think she was Elizabeth Read) and had 6 children, 3 of whom had died. There's no mention of Martha or Ann.
I have John's parents as John Trivett and Grace Brown(e) and John's parents as Thomas Trevett and Joan Trevett and have a DNA match to Joan's brother Francis 1687 Litton Cheney who married Eustace Brown.
My 3rd great grandfather who I believe to be John Trevett and Ann Farwell's son was John Trevett 1826 Abbotsbury who married Sarah Hallett and they can be found in the 1851 census with daughter Martha, living in Abbotsbury.
I'd appreciate any help with untangling this thanks. :)

There is a possibility that there may be two John Trevets. The Dorset opc site (opcdorset.org) has the marriage to Martha Russell in 1809 but it also has a marriage between a John Trevett and Elizabeth Read in Loders 19 November 1797. I haven't had time to look for a death for Elizabeth, or for any children. The same site also has his baptism in 1775 in Punchknowle parents John and Elizabeth. Might be worth searching to see how many John Trevets were baptised around 1775.

Thanks very much. :)

I think I've found John's parents in the 1851 census. John Trivett who is 81 and born in Litton Cheney and his wife Anne who is 71 and born in Chideock. So John would have been born in about 1770 and Anne in about 1780 but I can't find baptisms for either of them although there are Farwells born in Chideock around that time.
Can anyone help please? Thanks. :)

Hi, there is an Ann Farwell baptised 2nd Feb 1777 Chideock. Parents Thomas and Sarah? (question mark on transcribed record).
There was a daughter bap 1778 to a Thomas and Sarah, Elizabeth.
Also Sarah bapt 1780 again with parents shown as Thomas and Sarah?
-
Thanks very much. That might be her. :)

I think I've found the father of John Trevett 1771 but I'm not sure enough yet to rewrite that part of my tree so if anyone can see any flaws in my reasoning I would be interested in your opinion.
I couldn't find a baptism for John Trevett in Litton Cheney in 1771 but there is a John who is the illegitimate son of Jane Brown. In 1801 a (Mrs. ) Jane Brown is the proprietor of a house that she lives in and she has a tenant called Richard Trevett. There are 2 Richard Trevett's in Litton Cheney. One was baptised in 1715 and the other in 1739.
I have three DNA matches, to the 1739 one, one to each of three of his brothers. I also have a DNA match to the line that the 'wrong' connection was on and that is 0.3 cm's more than the others but there is a Trevett/Trevett marriage further back that may account for the slight increase. So could this Richard be the right person to be the father of John Trevett bpt 1771?

Also there is a burial for John Trevett bpt 1771in Abbotsbury where he was living in the 1851 census and it says John Briar and in brackets 'properly Trevett' I wonder if that could be John Brown...

I have in my tree some of this family. Here is my notes on Richard Trevett 1656 - 1725 that married Emme Godwyn (1653-1724)
Descendants of Emme Godwyn

She married Richard Trevett, son of Robert Trevett and Martha, on 2 Aug 1681 in Litton Cheney, Dorset, England (1681 2-Aug; Richard TRIVETT & Emme GODWYN Dorset OPC). He was born about 1656 in Litton Cheney, Dorset, England. He died about 1725 in Litton Cheney, Dorset, England.
Emme Godwyn was baptized on 30 Jan 1653 in Litton Cheney, Dorset, England (Name Emma Godwyn Event Type Baptism Baptism Date 30 Jan 1653 Baptism Place Litton Cheney, Dorset, England Parish Litton Cheney Phillimore Ecclesiastical Parish Map 2231 Father John Godwyn Mother Elinor Godwyn). She was buried on 21 Mar 1724 in Litton Cheney, Dorset, England (1724 Emme wife of R Trivett buried March 21 Affidavit brought 24th).

Notes for Richard Trevett:
As Richards first child was named Martha his is more likely the son of Robert and Martha Trivett.
1652 Richard Trivett son of Richard & Mary Trivett baptised June 13th
1656/7 Richard Trivett son of Robt & Martha Trivett baptised February 8
There are two Ricchard Trivetts living in Litton Cheny in this time period.
1675 5-Aug; Richard TRIVET & Ursula GODWYN
1681 2-Aug; Richard TRIVETT & Emme GODWYN
1683 17-Oct; Richard TRIVETT & Barbarah SMITH
Ursula is buried 1 May 1683 so the Richard that married her also married Barbarah Smith.
Luckily we know that Francis is son of Richard and Emme Trivett.
Francis son of Richard & Emma Trivett bapt Jan 12 1687

Thank you very much for taking the time to put together all this information. It's going to be very interesting to go through it and see what I've missed. I didn't know about Richard's marriage to Barbara Smith. This is all very helpful and much appreciated. :)

Hello .. I was very interested to read your post. I am related to Frances Trevett (1688 - 1767) son of Richard Trevett & Emme Godwyn. Frances's son John married Joan Collins who had a son also named Frances (1754). He married Mary Collins and had a son called, you guessed it, Frances (1773). He then married a Jane Yard who had a son called Stephen. On marrying Emma (Prout) they had 5 children, one called Levi who is buried in Sunderland. Levi is my great great grandfather.
I would love to hear from you / or anyone related to the Trevitt family. :)

Hello Claire,
Thanks for explaining your family connection. I'm still trying to work out my Trevett line but I know we must be cousins. I've been trying to use information from my Ancestry DNA test results and have a cousin of ours on there who is trying to work it out with me. It always helps to have someone to discuss it with. Thanks again to all those who have shared information.
It was nice to hear from you Claire.
