| Samuel and Ann nee Martin | see Family Tree | (generation 18 S&AM Samuel = Ann) |
| Last change made: 18th October 2007 |
Samuel was born during 1787 [Baptismal record Trese.] at Quethiock, Cornwall the son of
Samuel and Mary nee Souther
and the grandson of
Peter and Joan nee Sharp.
At sometime, probably in the early 1800s, he left Quethiock and moved to Devonport to work in the Dockyard.
During 1812 when he would have been about 25 years old he was married [as Samuel Trays] in Stoke Damerel, Devon (the parish in which
Devonport was then situated). His bride was an Ann Martin who was probably a year or two younger and gave her place of birth variously as
Quethiock, Menheniott and St Germans, Cornwall.
To date six children of their marriage have been traced, four sons and two daughters. It is thought possible that there were other children
as yet unidentified, particularly during the first decade after Samuel and Ann’s marriage.
Samuel and Ann’s surname was recorded as ‘Trays’ in 1851 Census but in 1861 Census and 1871 Census as ‘Treays’. The spelling ‘Treays’ seems
to have become the norm for them and their descendants by 1861.
Ann died, as Ann Treays, in Stoke Damerel during 1872 aged about 83 and Samuel died there, as Samuel Treays, during 1879, age 91.
