Hi

Mabel Walrond Trengrouse was a daughter to Henry Trengrouse (1842-1927) and his wife Mabel Walrond.

Henry was son to Nicholas Trevenen Trengrouse and Louisa Catherine Oats, from Helston in Cornwall. Louisa was the 12th of 14 children to a Captain Richard Oats from Penzance (her sister Matilda is my ancestor, have a large 1870s photo of her...)

Henry and family moved to London/Surrey area in the 1870s I would imagine.

Hope this helps
Tom Cory.

I knew there was an indian army connectioon in the family but not all that detail. I take it that charles edward was the brother of jonathan maxwell.

The Mss Eur F163 is the National Archives at Kew reference for the Bruce private papers, which you can access.

Just googled him myself: enter "Richard Isaac Bruce" including the exclamation marks. A number of books were written about him and there are mentions of his son. For example on this link

http://www.bl.uk/collections/afghan/sources1919to1928.html

there is this research reference:

'Mss Eur F163

BRUCE (Charles Edward), Lt-Col
Bruce Collection: correspondence and papers of Lt-Col Charles Edward Bruce (1876-1950), Indian Army 1896, Indian Political Service 1901-31, and of his father Richard Isaac Bruce (1840-1924), Indian Civil Service 1863-96, relating chiefly to the North-West Frontier and Baluchistan; includes papers on Afghan tribes in the early 20th century.

81 items, 1871 - 1939'

I was completely wrong with the year of birth for Jonathan Maxwell. it seems strange that Richard Bruce would be living in a hotel.

I am not aware of any carribean connection, however we are talking about the 1600s , so anything is possible.

robertpplane

robertpplane Report 29 May 2008 17:09

I think that if you have a dig around on familysearch.org you find out a lot more about his family.

I asked yesterday if there might be a Carribean connection. Apparently some of the early English settlers - in the 1600s - were Walronds. They can also be found in Europe and the USA; an all country search will reveal them.

As its an extracted record and matches the marriage index, I would say it is accurate

On the Law List of Country Attorneys for 1843 is this entry:

57. Barking, Essex

Walrond, William James in London and Wells, George in London.

So it looks as if he was either a barrister or a solicitor

Hi Christopher

Just logged on again, at the end of another day's work.

I'll have a dig around for you

Christopher

Christopher Report 29 May 2008 16:26

Robert

Do you have any suggestions where to look for Eliza B. Walronds husband ?

Christopher

Christopher Report 28 May 2008 20:37

Still havent found any details of Eliza B. Walronds husband.

Christopher

Christopher Report 28 May 2008 19:57

The husband of Eliza B. Walrond never seems to be mentioned . Eliza B. always seems to mentioned as HEAD on all the censuses. There is a death index showing Eliza died in 1904 and the B stands for Bell.
