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?
