Note: The death of Catherine late 1794 is significant in that we know that John left home after an argument with his father early in 1795, joining his ship in 1796 from where she sailed for the North Sea Station.

                          6 John b. C1779 d. 1779.

 

Note: The evidence for this is very flimsy based on a grave of a child of the date marked ‘J T’ Also the St. Paul’s Register of Halifax shows the death of ‘John’ in 1778. No other detail - Deaths Burials and Probate of NS v2. GSOV library.

 

                          6 Elizabeth Trenholm b. C1780

 

Note: John Trenholm - Trinham was probably born in this gap in the records and maybe others. On joining the Navy ship in 1796 he gave his age as 20. This calculates back to 1776 and unless he was born our of wedlock the age of 20 would have been an exaggeration. James Samuel says he left home at age 14 which would give his birth year birth as 1782, which fits these dates. On the 1851 Census he gives his age as 70 giving a birth date of 1881 give or take a year.

 

Note: Matthew was a farmer in Windsor until 1786 then became tenant farmer for I.F.W.DesBarres Esq Castle Frederick. NS.
