Hi Merilyn

This should cover the first question you originally raised. (ie details of conviction):

http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/r/e/Richard-P-Treasure/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-Sources.html

The "Stirling Castle" was anold 74 gun ship, built at Rochester and launched 31 Dec 1811. She measured 176'x 48'  1774 tons.  She was converted to a hulk for convicts in April 1839 and was initially moored at Deveonport but moved to Portsmouth in 1845.  She was broken up in 1861.

Will get back to you on the rest of the Treasure Family shortly.

Hi Jo

Levi Treasure is my gggg grandfather and I would be very interested of any burial details that you may have. 
We were in the Bath/Salisbury area on holidays August 2008 but at that stage were unaware of any connection to the Treasures.     Pity....................
Thank you for the two web sites - will come in handy.
Which line of Treasures are you from?

I am happy to share what I have permission to share (!) at the moment am a bit snowed under but over the weekend will get back to you.

Thanks again, this is just great.

Hello houseofbrown,

I will get the details on Treasure burials for you and post them shortly.

The family I have in my tree starts with Isaac Treasure born 1770, Holcombe. He had a son, John, born 1800, Holcombe. John had a daughter, Lydia, born 1827, Holcombe.

Hello there,

Re the graves in Stoke St Michael, these are what I noted down on my visit:

Levi Treasure died 21/04/1947, aged 85. In the same grave Alice Treausre, wife of Levi, died 11/07/1954, aged 87.

Theophilus Treasure died 23/03/1924, aged 87. In the same grave, Sarah Treasure wife of Theophilus, died 01/03/1912, aged 83.

Mark James Treasure died 20/04/1922, aged 83.

Thirza Treasure, died 19/01/1934, aged 95.

I don't think this is the same Levi Treasure as you mention.

Hi Jo
'Your' Levi Treasure is actually a grandson so that adds a bit more info to my tree.
I don't know who the others are which is not surprising as the Treasures seemed to all have very large families!  One thing though, they all lived to ripe old ages.
I'm still trying to connect my family with Isaac Treasure.
Thanks,  Bill.

Hello houseofbrown,

I should have said that this list of Treasure graves is not exhaustive. There were more but I only made a note of these at the time.

I think the Holcombe Treasure family links to the Stoke Lane side of this tree but cannot recall how as yet.

Hi Jo
I have just worked out our common connection - we are both descended from John Treasure b1675.  John had two sons (amongst others) Tobias 1708 and Samuel 1702.  You are descended from Samuel and me from Tobias. (That probably makes us about 7th cousins!)
Cheers,  Bill

Hello Bill,

Thanks very much for the information. Welcome to my new 7th cousin!

We may be more closely related as most of these families from the villages round there were inter married many times over. The same names crop up time and time again.

When I looked at the registers for Leigh on Mendip, there were only about 6 surnames there going back to the 1850s.
