Trimble of 'The Impartial Reporter'

[Stev1]

Can anyone confirm that one of the Trimbles of 'Impartial Reporter' fame had a sister who married a William Dennison around 1870-1880. She may have been a sister of William Copeland Trimble.

Hi Stev,

That's a good question. I'd be interested in learning more about the Trimble family as I've a thread about Joan and Valerie, daughters of William Egbert Trimble and Marie (nee Dowse), on the www.enniskillen.com genealogy board. Joan and her sister were well known pianists.

Hi Chris

I am aware of Valerie and Joan. I have established that William Dennison did not marry a Trimble although there was a story passed down the Dennison family that there was a close connection. If there was a connection it was 'far out' and I have been unable to unearth anything of significance. William Dennison's wife, Mary Ann Every, was from the Enniskillen area.

HI Chris

Correction, William Dennison's wife was Mary Ann Emery.

Hi
  I was interested in this post because I know the reason why "William Copeland Trimble" had the middle name of Copeland. I thought I would share it.
 
  My gg grandfather was Hugh Copeland who lived in Enniskillen. He was  good friends with William's father William, and in 1837 when the sr William Trimble and his paper were in trouble, Hugh Copeland saved  William Sr from debtors prison . Hugh Copeland lent William Trimble the money and in return William named his son William "Copeland" Trimble after my gg grandfather.

  I love finding stories like this, it makes researching your family all that much more special.....and "real".

Hi
Saw the info about Hugh Copeland being the GG Grandfather of Soopy. I believe we may be related.    My gg grandfather was Hugh Copeland.  My gg grandmother was Elizabeth Edgerton. Hugh passed around 1840 and she emigrated to Canada with her 8 Children.  Thought this was worth a mention.

Hi bida

   Yes I have heard of your Hugh Copeland. He is different from "my" Hugh but I "think" they were very possibly cousins. My Hugh was born in 1780. He is refered to as "Hugh of the Hollow" and "The Good Hugh". He was first married to Elizabeth "Ann" Harpur. They had 7 children. Ann died in 1828 and Hugh remarried my gg grandmother Nicholina Armstrong in 1829.
They had 5 children. Hugh died Nov. 1841. In 1846- Nicholina , her 5 children, and 6 of her 7 older step children traveled to America, where eventually Nicholina and her children settled in Brooklyn NY. The (older) step children left America and went on to Australia in 1856.

    I have been in contact with a couple of people in ref to the Hugh you speak of. Some with extensive information. Since they were both around the Enniskillen area I tend to think they were cousins. My Hugh's father was James Copeland of Lisbellaw. His mother was Anne Henderson.  I have tried finding this James' siblings but no luck so far. James was born near Smithboro in co Monaghan.

  One day perhaps !!! Good Luck!
