Tregos and Coxs
published by pierssc - 7 years 7 months 3 days ago.

I was glad to see your post, Pat, because I have an intermittent interest in members of the Cox family who were butchers.

My line of Coxs produced a series of butchers, father and son, between about 1750 and 1850 (maybe earlier, but that's as far as I've got), and marrying the daughter of another butcher seems to have been an occupational hazard!  They tended to seldom stay in their village of birth thus making them tricky to track down. 

This Elizabeth seems to have been born c.1823 according to the census, and I don't have her on my radar as a relative - sounds like I ought to have a look at the Brent transcripts to see if I can link her in.  I don't have any family members listed as being there but I may not have looked. 

Apologies for hijacking the thread.... but thanks for the possible lead!

 


William TREGO
published by Pat Hase - 7 years 7 months 3 days ago.

I have been puzzled by the TREGO family as well!   First of all I think that there were two couples in Weston with the names William & Elizabeth TREGO.  Both of the Williams were born in Cannington

Using FreeBMD you can find 2 marriages which relate to these:

William TREGO married Elizabeth COX in the Axbridge District in 1838

William TREGULL married Elizabeth CURNOCK in the Clifton District in 1844

The TREGO/COX marriage is on our transcriptions and took place in St John the Baptist, Weston-super-Mare on the 5th May 1838.  William gives his father's name as Thomas TREGO and claims that at that time both he and his father were Butchers.

The TREGO/CORNOCK (and variants) - I'm not sure where this took place but suggest it might have been at Westbury on Trym (the birth place of the bride) or of course at a Register Office.

The GRO Index has been invaluable in sorting our their children

  • It looks as if the TREGO/COX marriage produced Robert in 1839, William in 1843, Ann in 1845, Hannah in 1850 and Jane in 1852
  • It looks as if the TREGO/CORNOCK marriage produced Eliza in 1847[CURNOCK] in Bristol, Ellen  in 1854 [CORNISH], William in 1856[CORNOCK] and Henry in 1862 [CORNOCK] 

According to the Burial Records of Weston Cemetery a William Trego JONES, a mariner, was buried in the 10th Oct 1890, aged 71, in the same grave as Elizabeth Treago JONES who was buried on the 31st  August 1870, aged 44 and described as the wife of William JONES.

I believe that these are the TREGO/CURNOCK couple as the baptisms of some of their children give the father's occupation as "Sailor". 

As this Elizabeth died in 1870 the William & Elizabeth TREGO living in Hopkins Street, Weston-super-Mare in 1871 must be the TREGO/COX pair.  William is described as a Quarryman and Elizabeth claims to have been born in South Brent (Brent Knoll).

Your Robert TREGO was born in 1839 with his mother's maiden name of COX - Does that fit with your research?


Edmund MANCHIP
published by Pat Hase - 7 years 7 months 4 days ago.

The birth of this Edmund MANCHIP can be seen in the Axbridge Workhouse births on our web site given as 14th Oct 1845 the son of  a  M. Ann MANCHIP of Compton Bishop. (From the Axbridge Union Workhouse Register of Births) 

The birth you found in Bridgwater in 1849 according to the GRO index has a mother's maiden name of TURNER and there was a marriage registered in the Bridgwater district in 1848 of a Robert MANCHIP with an Elizabeth Ann TURNER.


Isaac MANCHIP
published by daveerasmus - 7 years 7 months 4 days ago.

Hi. FreeReg has a baptism of an "Isaac Manship?" at Piston St Luke on 22 June 1794, son of Isaac & Elizabeth. I tried to find this on Ancestry but could not. What I did find was a transcript of a baptism of "Isaac Skanchep" (same date, place and parents). Thankfully, Ancestry have images of Somerset Parish Records online now so I looked at this one. In my opinion the surname is "Manchip". But I suggest you look for yourself.

If that's the good news then the bad news might be this. Ancestry has a Criminal Record for Isaac Manchip junior. On 21 February 1815 aged 20 sentenced to one year's hard labour at Shepton Mallet House of Correction and fined one shilling. The crime was Larceny. It looks like Isaac Manchip (senior) was found not guilty at the same time. I will leave you to explore this further.

Happy hunting!
