Antrim / Re: Coats and Trelford Families (West Belfast)
« on: Sunday 18 April 21 16:34 BST (UK)  »
Re Wm Trelford, he is my 2nd great grand uncle B 1781 - 1/11/1838.  He was married to Anne Marshall of Drumbeg (1778 - 8/1/1856  He is the son of Wm. Trelford 1749 - 1814 (at time of baptism his name was shown as Thelford)  and mother Jane McKelvey 1747 - 4/2/1836. He was one of 9 children.

Jane McKelvey's obit was in the Belfast Newsletter on 12 Feb. 1836.  Buried at Drumbeg with service by Mr. Scott, the worthy minister of that Parish.

Although a number of Trelfords were buried at Drumbeg, they were mostly baptised and married at St. Anne's Cathedral.

I can't understand why my father was called Henry on his marriage certificate as his name was shown as Harry Lawson Russell on his birth certificate and also he signed his name as Harry Lawson Russell on his indenture for his apprenticeship.  Perhaps an official was being officious.

Message for Antrimite.  I have been in touch with Tony Trelford in Canowindra and he has sent me a lot of information about the Trelfords there.  Adam Trelford and his wife left here in 1880 and travelled to Australia on a ship called the Chimborazo.  Adam received a glowing letter of reference from Falls Loyal Orange Lodge no. 498. It might be that you already have this info. so I won't type it all here but if you want more information I can let you have it.

Sarah Russell is my sister but she died in 2012 and I think you must not have realized she had a sister and that I posted the blog.  There is 16 years difference between us.  My father was Harry Russell, not Henry, and my mother was Letitia Trelford.  My mother and her sister Margaret both married men called Russell, who were not related.

Do you happen to know where the Trelfords came from.  The first I know of them is James Trelford married to Anne Coates in 1744.  This was in St. Anne's Cathedral records.  I have been in touch with someone but his Trelfords came from Clifden.

I have been researching the Trelford family for a number of years as my Mother's maiden name was Trelford.  I have got as far back as James Trelford married in 1744 to Anne Coates 1723-1786.  James had two brothers Wm. marr. Diana Pinkerton, daug. Jane and John marr. to Mary McFall  and they had 6 children. I know about the 3 brothers married to the 3 sisters and about Wm. Trelford  1804 - 1877 married 3 times with 15 children.  One died young and there is another child called the same name. I am more interested in the Trelford connection than the Coates but there were a lot of marriages between Trelfords and Coates so I have some information about them.
