Wiltshire / Re: Thomas Trollip - Horningsham, Wiltshire

Oooh, that gives me something to go on now - fingers crossed it leads to the parents. If I can find the baptism records for William Trolip in the Archives that would be great.
Thinking about it some more, it is not inconceivable that William could be Thomas' father as he would have been 38 at the time of Thomas' marriage and Thomas could have married at 18/19? A possibility?
Fab!

Hi, yes I have quite a substantial family tree stemming from Thomas and Honor. The family, which was quite prolific, stayed in the area for over a century until my Great Grandfather married a welsh lass called Sarah Harris and they settled in south Wales. My Grandfather then moved to London as a young man and that is where my father was born.
Thank you so much again for your help.

Thank you so much for looking, it is much appreciated.
I have contacted Wiltshire and Swindon Archives and found that they hold the marriage record. Unfortunately the witnesses to the marriage were not family, which makes me think that Thomas' parents may not even have lived in Horningsham and that Thomas settled there looking for work. I am only guessing. My next step is to visit the archives and try and find Thomas' baptism record - although this is really a shot in the dark as I suspect he may not have been born in the area.
It is interesting to note that you have found Honor with the spelling of Trolip, as this is what was on the marriage records too. Not sure how it changed in only one generation to Trollop. Another mystery!
Many thanks again.

Hi Celtic Annie
I will PM you tonight when back at home, and give you more details. I am not sure we are related to the Norfolk Trollopes though as all the Trollopes in our family up to 1759 are Horningsham / Longbridge Deverill based. However, more than happy to swap notes and see if there are any connections.

The Lighter Side / Re: surnames where do they come from

Yes, I fear a lady of some ill repute probably had the phrase coined about her and it stuck! Probably why someone went on and stuck an 'e' on the end of Trollop and asked for it to be pronounced 'Troll-opee'

Well having the surname Trollope I never knew it meant three wolves - am liking it!

Wiltshire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1841 or 1851 Lookup - TROLLOP
« on: Tuesday 17 July 12 21:53 BST (UK) »
Mary Ann's Parents were Thomas Trollope and Ann Trollope (married 1828).
Thomas Trollope's parents were Joseph Trollope and Elizabeth Hill (married 1799) - who I am related to! We can go one step further back with Joseph's parents being Thomas Trollop (Trollip) and Honor Carpenter (married 1759) but then hit a brick wall. It would be wonderful to get info on info on Thomas.

Hi, I would very much like some more information on the Trollopes prior to 1759 if you can help? I understand the 3 post rule so will carry browsing the forums and hope that we get the opportunity to talk.
Many thanks
