Title: Trayner - Gosnells, WA
Post by: Leigh1 on Wednesday 19 March 25 13:05 GMT (UK)

I am trying to find out who the Trayner was for whom Trayner Close in Gosnells, WA was named.  This may of course be a relatively recent naming but I have drawn a blank, other than that according to the Landgate Database there was a P Trayner resident in Gosnells in 1906.  (This was info kindly given to me by Heritage Queries dept.). Ancestry shows a P Trayner at Cumberland St & later at Little Gloucester St.  I can find no newspaper reports either (but may have missed something).  Any suggestions for further research please?  Any pointers gratefully received!

The resource can be explored by town, or by name of person.

I do not see him again in the first drcade of the century.

Warncoot : the Heritage Dept was them.  Maybe I should try a different department.

Sue: hmmm, what is he up to?🤣. At least I’ve gone from ‘P’ to Patrick.

Thank you both.

You could try Landgate.

Thank you Warncoot.  The original info I was given was taken from Landgate.  Think I’m going to have to admit defeat on this one 🙁
