Although Eliza’s parents can’t be found in Bath after her baptism, she appears to marry 20 years later in the same parish and a relative of her mother appears to be a witness. If her mother died while Eliza was a baby, her mother’s relatives may have looked after her.  I think her father may be the following William.

If so, Eliza’s mother may have died soon after Eliza’s birth and possibly before her baptism. After 1833 Eliza went to live in London a short walking distance from where the above mentioned William lived.
I can't find a burial for Eliza TREAYS - an Eliza MOORE was buried on 23Mar1809 Walcot. Have you any info on the MOORE family?

Thanks for the info. I need to study it a bit more but I know for certain that I did not have the Roger Pomeroy/Wills Brixham marriage. Since this thread began I have added more information on Thomas Wyvell  to the trease website here

I may post more after I've studied the information you sent more. If I find any further references to Pomeroy or other relevant families I'll add them to this thread. Many thanks, Bob

Dear Dan,

Thank you very much for your kind words and the information which I’ve now included on the website. That confirms beyond any doubt the scenario of the two families of John Traies. Although not obvious from the family tree, John’s uncle William (m. Mary Hooper) was also a mason and father of William TRAIES a moderately well known artist of the time. Incidentally do you have the date of Ann's baptism? - she looks like one of the oldest of their family.

Once again, many thanks,

Bob

Thanks for that. It opens up a new line of research, when I've time. William BODDY's will was proved on 7th Jan 1617 and is in the National Archives ref PROB 11/129/14.  Elias and Joan weren't happy about it and a court case ensued and is also in National Archives WILLS v SPRYE (C/327/68) - Elias and Joan WILLS v. Hugh SPRYE and others re Personal Estate of William BODY but documents not available on-line. I'll dig around a bit more and update that section of the website. If you find out any more please let me know and I'll do the same. I notice an Elizabeth BODY, wife of William, died on 04Apr1613, possibly an earlier wife of the same William possibly nee SPRY I guess. Once again many  thanks,

Bob

Dear Deb,

I think the 1762 baptism of John s/o William & Mary is correct. I can’t inspect the parish register images on-line any longer but believe I ticked the IGI transcript on my list when I found it on the register but did not bother with checking/correcting any spelling differences. I reckon he is the son of William and Mary BOND. John married Elizabeth KERSLAKE and the KERSLAKE family feature in a Codicil to the Will of William TRAIES m. Mary BOND & d.1812. Link : -

I think I had a “senior moment” when I sent my reply yesterday. Anyway, the son of William born 1724 St Luke was James not John. He appears on this link: -
http://www.trease.org.uk/traies/txt/txt17s_ec.htm

The other record to which I referred was : -
1850   c. 10Mar1850 Rochdale. James Thomas TRAIES s/o John & Betty TRAIES, Shoemaker  (ANC img)
I think he is related to the Crediton family but can’t see how at the moment,  maybe one of them went "up North" and disappears off the current trees.

There are two burials that I can’t fit into the Traies Crediton tree are : -
1781   i. 3Jun1781    Sarah TRAIES       (DCRS, FindMyPast img x 2)
1782   i. 29Dec1782    John TRAIES       (DCRS)
If they are husband and wife, maybe John is s/o Samuel & Elizabeth c. 1718 (who has no burial record associated with him) and the John who married Sarah Ellacott in 1754 (who similarly has no death record associated with her). The drawback is that William Traies’s 1770 will has the succession as William s/o Samuel and then Samuel s/o Samuel and makes no mention of John.  If John & Sarah had no surviving children and Sarah could produce no more children this may account for why William omitted him from the Will entirely. I have not listed this possibility on the website - can’t think why - might simply have overlooked it.

Kind regards,

Bob.
