trigg family

[julessh]

Contrary to William's express wish, as stated in his will, he was not buried in Tintern. Instead, he is buried in Selskar Abbey, in Wexford town.

Thank you.  I knew he was in Selskar Abbey and had seen the Will but didn't pick up on his request not being carried out. I wonder why. I requested a photo on Find A Grave recently - not sure if you are interested or already have it.

You folks should also take a look at the will of William (IIRC) Trigg, a "Protestant gentleman" of Wexford, who died around 1866. He was a brush maker, with a shop on Main St. A grandson of his   married a relative of mine.

Hi Wexflyer....

Hi there - I just noticed your post. I did not seem to get a notification of it, which is unusual.

Anyway, regarding William Trigg:

Years ago I noticed a mention of him in a journal or book article. IIRC it was to the effect that his children appeared in both the Catholic and CofI parish registers. Can't remember where exactly I saw this reference.

In any case, William was married to Mary Culliton, and two of their children's baptisms appear in the Catholic registers, namely
- Elizabeth Triggs, bapt. 18-2-1810, and
- Thomas Triggs, bapt. 4-12-1812.

Either Elizabeth or another unknown daughter married Dr. Mathew Devereaux of Wexford.

Wonderful, thank you. In my records I had noted a William Trigg married to Mary Ann Collition and on that same document underneath was my 4 times great grandfather Richard Trigg marriage to Catherine Cutler, but I didn't realise that William was the William who did the will.  It's still very difficult to place him in the family. Well, I hope he does fit somewhere. I've become fond of him

I have no inside information as to why he wasn't buried in Tintern. But the practice at the time was (and still is) for burial within a few days of death. Might have been difficult back in 1865 to arrange for transport of the body to Tintern in time, get family members there, etc.

Which reminds me. William's request to be buried in Tintern implies that that is where he was from, and as I mentioned previously, there is a Trigg there in Griffith's Valuation in 1853.  The important point, however, is that the CofI parish registers for Tintern are extant, and go back to 1752 for BMD. Surely worth a look?

Thank you.  Cofl registers were on my to do list but you've prompted me to start sooner - definitely worth a look. I've spent over 3 hours on the nli.ie site and only just found one Triggs' baptism and can't read it properly but it's not one I know about. The Tintern ones on there only go back to 1827 from what I can see. I've looked for marriage records for 1830s for various Triggs too and when scrolling through, all I see is baptisms, despite selecting 'marriages'. Tried to access Anglican records on Church of Ireland but my antivirus is blocking the site. I give up for today.

The CofI registers are not online at present. What is on the NLI site are all Catholic registers.

The second marriage of William's grandson, Thomas Devereux, in 1874 can be seen at the following link.

Thomas is the Thomas Devereux mentioned in the memorial inscription posted by julesis.

Thank you once again Wexflyer - very helpful.
