Ha ha! Thanks for the great site Jim - I didn't even know of its existance!  I see that you have Hampton listed as a name of 'unknown origen' - now I always assumed that my Hamptons were just stray Saxons that snuck into Cornwall prior to the mid 1500s. I therefore interpreted it as being a Saxon place name "home town" and that my Hamptons originated from one of the many English villages of that name. |

I have just had a look at the site also and the comment about 'Trewolla' possibly being an older form of the name 'Trewhella' is interesting.
Although I will need to search them out, I do have some books here that may help.
One is a copy of the Published Domesday Book for Cornwall (Phillimore) but I think I would have to read through it again to get the details.
I know also that I have mentions in other books of the names mentioned in Lay Subsidy Rolls etc.
Apart from that - there are three known farms in Cornwall, possibly four, and a faint possibility of a fifth, relating to these families.
TREWOLLA - Gorran Parish
TREWHELA - St Enoder Parish (Seems members of these two inter-married according to the Heralds Visitations)
TREWHELLA - St Hilary (where I believe my lot came from!)
And then there is mention of a TREWHEL(L)A farm in Cury Parish and I am certain I have heard of another 'possible' one but I just can't remember where in Cornwall it was supposed to be.
If there is a link between the Western (my lot) and Eastern farms (and families) it will be back in antiquity and very difficult to trace.
However, I believe there is a very good chance that at least some of the Trew(h)ella family from the Camborne and Redruth areas may belong to the St Hilary families.
Further - it must be remembered that many people, in the days when surnames were first 'introduced', the people would very likely have taken, as a surname, the name of the Manor, farm etc. where they lived as tenants. (That is a brief scenario.)
I must try to track down my other information.

(That is a brief scenario.) Surnames as late as the 1500s and 1600s in Cornwall were still quite mutable too; persons often used more than one in their lifetime! A lovely example was our Richard Roberts alias Richard Jenkin alias Richard Trevernan...  |

Yep - this one is still an investigatory concern and there seem to be a number of factors involved, depending on the name and where they were. I still have to solve to puzzle of 'Trewhella als Polglaze'.  |

I've joined this conversation late but what caught my eye was the comment about David Trewhella. I remember him playing for Easts and in particular the day Mal Meninga, Canberra Raiders, ran over the top of him and scored a try as well as knocking Trewhella cold!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Trewhella (born 1963 in Maitland, New South Wales) is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1980s and 90s. After playing junior football in Newcastle, he started his senior football career in Queensland, playing for Redcliffe. He was named their player of the year in 1984. In 1986 Trewhella moved to Sydney where he played for the Eastern Suburbs club. A former halfback, he moved to the forwards, playing in various positions. Ruled to be eligible to play for New South Wales in the State of Origin, he was selected in 1988 and 1989. Trewhella's last season of first grade football was with the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in 1992.
Go the Blues in Origin 2, 2011!

No, CT I'm a Roosters fan and I remember David wearing 11 on his back which was front rower at the time. They changed to the Po.... er English numbers later. I see that he played in the '88 and '89 series that NSW lost. We're back in familiar territory again!!
