Hi everyone

Hate to say this!  Examined the Marylebone Parish Registers today but apart from Ann and Samuel in 1813 (already on the IGI) no further baptisms for the TRAIES family were found.

I don't think we could have missed then - I looked from 1813 to 1827 which was the end of the film, then I searched again going backwards from 1827 to 1813.  Geoff then did an identical search but neither of us found a TRAIES.

Time for a coffee now!

I think you must deserve a coffee after that!

What a mystery, I wonder where they were baptised if not at Marylebone.  Although James could have been Stratford le Bow I think according to the papers I got.  Hmmm

Although disappointing, it does have a positive note in that it definitively rules out that register - one down ... to go. Maybe something will turn up at the LMA.

While updating the William and Mary tree I noticed that William's will document makes reference to a Jane Kerslake wife of William Kerslake of the city of Exeter tinplateworker who went to London in 1812 in connection with the will - I wonder if our James is tied up with that family in some way - although I think tinplateworker was quite a common occupation.  Following up Deb's information about Elizabeth Traies nee Nicks second family I have added quite a bit more to the website about that side of the family and the artist. He apparently was a pupil of David Cox a reknowned artist of the time and his works were liked by John Ruskin. At one time, Cox taught at a school in Hereford (close to Hay on Wye). Charles Williams appears to have still been married when Elizabeth Traies was living at the same cottage with him as his secretary..... um

Nothing surprises me about this family anymore

No more hints of impropriety at moment but I am sure we'll find something. A death certificate I requested a few years back for a death iof a 30 year old in the 1880s had cause of death - overdose of opium (by accident).

Re Deb's

TREASE, JAMES GWIN crew, chief baker, 19, 6'3", 285lbs

He could be descended from John TREASE blacksmith (mother Eliza Gynn) who emigrated to Ontario Canada from Warbstow Corwall in 1871, aged 20 then - single at time of next  Canadian census but then no trace.

There is also the possible H. (enry?) TREASE who emigrated to New York on the  Roscius from Liverpool during the Irish Potato famine exodus. James TRAIES was out in Baltimore and probably died there, William Masters TRAIES the silversmith was in Cincinnatti for a time. I noticed a Michael, George, Richard and Peter Trease in pre War of Independence Muster Lists. I also noticed an US address TRAIES Court. I am going to check out what if anything is known of American connections with a relative next week and get back on this.

Hi all

Just to say that we had a few days away last week and on the way home made a slight detour and visited Winchester, where the Regimental Museum of the 10th Hussars is situated.

I hoped we may have learnt where the regiment were when James TRAIES was a member.  We did not find anything new though.  It was only a small musuem and most of the displays were, as you may expect, devoted to their wartime activities.  James only served in peacetime.  They did not seem to hold any archives for the regiment there as far as I could make out.

The museum is one of three regimental museums situated in the Peninsula Barracks.  The history of the Peninsula Barracks was interesting and we enjoyed just wandering around the area, looking at the old parade ground and the various buildings.

I do have some TRAIES references that I must post to the board.  They may be of help to Bob or possibly Kerry.

Bye for now
Bernice and Geoff
