Happy to oblige....... In 1861 John (16yo) and younger brother Henry (10yo) are lodging with older brother James and his new wife Rebecca (nee Perkin) on Primrose Valley, St Ives. All 3 males are Tin Miners. Lodgers have been crossed out and replaced with sson (stepson) but in reality brothers. By this stage both parents are deceased. Reference RG 9/1590 (Household Schedule 106; Piece 1590; Folio 11; Page 19) PS..I have been unable to find Richard & Elizabeth and 3 sons in the 1841 Census.

Okay - Now I have found them. But what of brother William who appeared in the 1851 Census age 3? I have not seen any mention of him by anyone and not found him after 1851. I also cannot find the family in 1841. CT

I can add a little more detail re: some of the earlier information in this thread obtained from images of Michigan death certificates:
Thomas Trevorrow, widower, born Dec 25 1837 died Aug 13 1905 after being treated for fibroid phthisis for 20 years. He was a widower with 6 of what looks to be a total of 13 children still living at time of his death. His father is given as "John" and mother unknown, but the informant was a James Nelson and right next to that is the undertaker's name: J D Nelson. That would explain the lack of knowledge.
Henry Trevorrow, laborer, born Greenland, Ontonogan, MI May 8, 1882 died Aug 29 1916 of tuberculosis and was buried in Greenland on the 31st. Father Thomas Trevorrow, mother Elizabeth Jackson. Informant: William Trevorrow of Greenland.
I also found a Clyde Herby Trevarrow Nov 15, 1896- May 24, 1916 died of apendicitis who was the son of William T and "Carry" Cox. The "Herby" is quite clear as it is typed.
Reflecting on the 2 marriages for Elizabeth Jackson, if we are dealing with one man, the first marriage would have been invalid since Thomas was already married. I would think she could have gotten an annulment, and since they weren't legally married (no bigamy in Michigan, please!) she wouldn't have needed to get a divorce and thus would still have been "Jackson" if/when they remarried.

I have been unable to identify/find the William Trevorrow, the 3yo Scholar living with his parents in Fore St, St Ives in the 1851 Census.
As I could find no other reference I assumed that he had died young and before 1861. Hence the reason why not mentioned to date.
There are 8 x William Trevorrow who died (Penzance RD) between Sep 1851 - Jun 1861.
I have been unable to link all of these deaths with known William Trevorrow.

Problem solved. Between 1845 and 1861 there were two William Trevorrows born who could have been recorded as age 4 in 1851. 1. son of Henry and Mary (nee Geen) born 1847 but baptised 1st December 1852 St Ives 2. son of Richard and Elizabeth also born 1847 William Trevorrow of St Ives age 4 was buried 31st July 1851 at St IvesThe son of Henry and Mary was still living at home in 1861 which means that burial must be the son of Richard and Elizabeth. Problem is to determine which birth is which - June Qtr 1847 or September Qtr 1847. CT

I concur - as came to same conclusion this evening.
I too can't separate the 2 birth possibilities.
However, as an aside to the main Michigan thread of these posts there is an interesting local story to this particular William Trevorrow (Son of Henry & Mary (nee Geen) Trevorrow).
William's father Henry was a Ship's Carpenter and eventually became a local boat builder in St Ives.
William was a Cabinet Maker in 1881 but then went a completely different direction.
The following information was obtaines from the St Ives, Archive Centre in May 2009:
"It's reasonable to assume that William must have been a talented amatuer photographer prior to turning professional. He does not appear to have advertised a great deal in the local press, but following the serious flood in St Ives of 12 Nov 1894, the following appeared in the St Ives Weekly Summary of 12 Nov 1894: 'A good assortment of views of the Recent Flood may be had at W. Trevorrow's, Photographer, Tregenna Place at 6d each'.
The same paper carried his advertisement on the 18 May 1895: 'W. Trevorrow, Tregenna Studio, St Ives. A good assortment of local views (mounted or unmounted) always in stock. Groups taken by appointment. Views of the November flood on sale'. The same advertisement was still in the paper as late as 6 June 1896, more than 18 months after the flood. Presumably he was hoping that some visitors might not have seen them. Locals who were interested would surely have bought them long before this.
Kelly's directories for 1897, 1902 & 1906, reveal that he had again diversified, his entry reading: 'Dealer in Musical Instruments & Photographer, Tregenna Pl". The entry in 1906 described the shop as William Trevorrow & Son, and the next edition in 1910 shows William Junior, Watch & Clock maker, the photographic side having apparently been given up."
William Trevorrow married Sarah Jane Thomas Stevens 1874 St Ives. William and Sarah appear to have lived their lives in St Ives as in all Eng Census up to 1911 and both died in St Ives. (I can't find William or his parents in 1871 - often a troublesome year for St Ives)
However, some of their children migrated to the USA: William to Orange County, California (wife - Annie Eliza Ball); Sarah Zara to Westchester Co, New York State Henry married Beatrice Irene Davies (B Salt Lake City USA in 1907 St Ives, had 2 children in St Ives (Beatrice and Tom) but died in USA in 1916.

And the only photo I have of my Gfather as a young child was taken c1905 at Wm Trevorrow's studio; I also have one of my GGmother in her 20s, taken at Trevorrows I would guess at the same time. So I'm glad he ran that business! Sue

Just as another aside to the main story about Trevorrow in Michigan....... One of the brothers of William Trevorrow the photographer who stayed in St Ives was Henry Trevorrow who married his 2nd cousin Catherine Daniel Trevorrow on 22 Sep 1886 St Ives. Henry, like his father was a boatbuilder who built the fishing lugger "Barnabas" (SS 634) for Barnabas 'Barny' Thomas (1849-1932). Attached is a recent photo of the Barnabas c2006. Barnabas under sail (Cornish Maritime Trust)LAO 40’, LWL 38’ 6”, beam 11’ 6”, draft 6’, tons 11.7 Barnabas is the only survivor from St Ives of the thousand strong fleet of lug rigged seine and drift net fishing boats registered at Cornish ports at the turn of the 19th century.
She is the oldest and largest of The Cornish Maritime Trust’s boats. She was built for Barnabas Thomas by Henry Trevorrow above Porthgwidden beach, St.Ives, in the area known as the Island Wastrel and launched in the traditional way off the beach. She was originally registered on 28th. October 1881as a Class 2 pilchard boat with the number 634 SS. She is first recorded as being of 8 tons, fishing with nets and lines with a crew of five. At a later and as yet unknown stage she was re-registered as a Class 1 mackerel driver and her number switched to SS 634. The number is said to have been chosen as it corresponds to the hymn “Will Your Anchor Hold” in the Methodist hymn book.
Barnabas is known as a dipping lugger because of the way in which the lug sail on her foremast is partly lowered to tack and the whole of the foresail passed around the front of the mast. The sheet (rope) on the new tack is attached to the sail and the lug from which the sail hangs (the size of a telegraph pole) is raised on the appropriate side of the mast. This method means that the foresail sets efficiently on both tacks for faster sailing. (Tacking is the zig-zag course taken when sailing in relation to the direction of the wind.)
Barnabas continued to fish from St Ives until 1954 when she was sold as a yacht. In the 70s she was given to the National Maritime Trust and in 1985 she was restored to her original state thanks to the generosity of Peter Cadbury whose family had her in the 50s. In 1994 the Cornish Maritime Trust was formed from the Cornish Friends of the Maritime Trust, who had been looking after Barnabas, and she was bought from the National Maritime Trust for a nominal £1.
In 1996 an engine was fitted to comply with modern safety requirements although this was not a first for Barnabas as she had previously had a 26hp petrol/paraffin engine fitted in 1917.
Barnabas is recognised as an important part of our national heritage, mentioned in the preamble to the new Historic Small Ships Register, although not included as she is just too small to come within its remit. She is a mackerel driver, so called as the boats were driven by the effect of the tide on their nets. A St Ives mackerel driver’s year began in March, fishing for mackerel, sometimes as far as west of the Isles of Scilly. In mid-summer the catch switched to herring with boats sailing to Ireland and the Isle of Man. The biggest would go to Bowling, near Glasgow, sail through the Bowling Canal to Granton and fish in the North Sea from Berwick, Sunderland, Whitby and Scarborough. Barnabas never went to the North Sea but she did fish from Ireland, going to Howth, near Dublin with her crew of five men and a boy who all slept in the cramped foc’sle.
The drift nets were like a curtain hanging in the water with floats at the top. The fish swam into them and were caught by their gills. As the nets were pulled in and restowed in the net room the fish were shaken out into the hold. The drift nets were made up of sections joined together vertically, their total length extending for up to a mile and a quarter.
The boats left port early in the morning and set all sail with a crew of four or five men and a boy, to get to the fishing grounds by early evening. Both mackerel and herring are nearest to the surface at night so this is when the nets were shot (put out). To recover the net, the footrope, the only connection to the nets, was hauled in over a hand cranked flywheel capstan on the starboard (right) side and flaked down by the boy - and this was the wettest, dirtiest job! Later a steam capstan was used. Once the fish hold was full it was back to port as fast as possible to make the first landing and get the best price for the catch or to make the train for London (or other main town) as this would also give an improved price.
Since belonging to the CMT Barnabas has taken numerous members, parties of schoolchildren and special interest groups on introductory sailing trips up the Fal and in the Carrick Roads. Those aboard have been able to watch or take part in dipping the lug and experiencing the thrill of actually sailing aboard an authentic nineteenth century Cornish lugger. In 2005 the Heritage Lottery Fund awarded the CMT sufficient funding towards her complete restoration to full sailing condition. This ensured that this unique and historically important boat is able to continue to bring delight to all who appreciate the maritime heritage of Cornwall. She is currently in Penzance Wet Dock.Attachments:

I was reading the things on the Thomas Trevorrow site. I found something going thru some papers looking for something on Cyrus Trevorrow. - Son to Thomas and Elizabeth Jackson Trevorrow. I found I to was going around and around like Maggie. Cy"s was my husband's grandfather. I ask who Cy's grandparents where? Grandma said they were Henry and Grace Trevorrow from St Ives. I did over the years find a Henry and Grace Trevorrow living in St Ives with a son names Thomas born 1837. Census showed other children Tlhomas 1837 Grace 1835 John 1834 Betsy 1847 Wife of John Jane his wife and May and Henry as grandchildren. Then rereading a letter from Grandma I found her witting than Cy's Grandpa and Grandmother were born in Cornwall. They came to the USand homesteaded a piece of land called the Belt or Lake Mine in Michigan. They had Matilda,Elizabeth,Alberta, Margaret and Lucy and on boy John. I found a death certificate for Thomas Trevorrow Born Dec 25 1837 Age 68 Miner and father was John Trevorrow and mother Don't know.He died Aug 13 1905 burial Aug 16 1905 Greenland. There was a Captain John Trevorrow who was the captain of the Mohawk Mine in the Keweenaw. He was Born Dec 10 1943. Father was Richard Trevorrow wife Elizabeth Trevorrow (no kinswomen) They lived in St Ives. They had 6 children Thomas,Richard,James,Elizabeth, John and Henry. Elizabeth located in Australia. James John and Henry crossed the ocean to America. Thomas settled in Scotland? John emigrating to the US in 1864 John Trevorrow married Jane Trevorrow born in St Ives parish Cornwall England. Her parents Christopher and Elizabeth Jane Trevorrow. Does that help anyone... No me. I the Uren name and how it goes with Mary Trevorrow. But how about Cyrus? Is it a English name. Help I can't figure this family out.

There seems to be a lot of confusion here. I think this most likely relates to the Jackson family although I have not found an Alberta. Elizabeth Jane Jackson had siblings named William John, Matilda, Margaret, Henrietta and Lucy so perhaps 'grandma' mistook Henrietta for Alberta. CT

G'day "d" Greetings from Western Australia. Welcome to the challenging world of Trevorrow genealogy!! My Trevorrow data base shows two marriages between Henry TREVORROW and Grace (around the time of interest): Henry TREVORROW (1806-1866) married Grace GENT (1804-1883) in St Ives on 30 April 1832They had the following children: Grace Gent (1832-1918); John Polmear (1834-1915); Thomas (1836-1898); Jane Gent (1838-1918); Betsey Curnow (1846-1910); and Mary Polmear (1849-1928). Census records show that this Thomas TREVOROW was unmarried and was still living with his mother up until 1871 and probably died Q1 1898. Henry TREVORROW/TREVARROW (1818-1882) married Grace CHAMPION (1813-1883) in St Ives on 26 Dec 1838.They had the following children: William Henry (1841-1918); Grace Breadanse (1843-1876); Charlotte Elizabeth (1845-); John (1848-1897); Isabella Champion (1850); and Richard Daniel (1853) I have found no reference to there being a Thomas in this family. Both William Henry and John migrated to Victoria, Australia. Earlier in this thread there was a lot of discussion regarding the Thomas TREVORROW who married Elizabeth Jane JACKSON in Rockland Ontonagon Michigan on 14 Dec 1872. This data appears to "hang together" very well. Cyrus TREVORROW (1888-1871) is one of Thomas and Elizabeth Jane's children. At this stage I have no more information regarding his descendants. Would be happy to get more details as my interest is in the TREVORROW descendants wherever they may be. I have no other Cyrus TREVORROW on my database so assume that this Christian name has USA roots. The UREN connections derive from Thomas TREVORROW's mother Mary nee UREN (1807-). Hope this helps.
