James & Elizabeth nee Hancock	see Data	see Family Tree	(generation 20)
(Revised Nov 2011: Text updated and source data added)

James was born on Tuesday 18th January 1848 at Warbstow Cross the son of James and Elizabeth Gynn and a grandson of William and Martha Uglow.

James trained as a carpenter. When he was 23 he was lodging in Cross Street, Camborne. Three years later in 1874 he married Elizabeth Hannah Hancock and he and his family appear to have settled in the Camborne area but regularly changed home. James seems to continue to work as a carpenter working some or all of his time in the tin mines in the area but in an 1883 Trade Directory he is recorded as a "tin stream machine maker" of Vyvyan Row, Camborne. He subsequently continues to record his occupation under the general heading of "carpenter" so perhaps the "tin stream machine maker" classification of 1883 involved a specialised form of carpentry rather than metal working.

James died in the Redruth area in 1920 at age 72 and his wife died there 15 years later in 1935 aged 83. James and Elizabeth had at least nine children : -

• Son Thomas Trease was born in the Redruth area in 1875. In 1902 he married Irene Wonnacott in Plymouth and they had one daughter, Irene Elizabeth born in 1902, before his wife died in 1906 aged 30.
  Thomas married again in 1908. His second wife was Annie Gray and they had two children - Thomas who was born in 1908 but died the same year, and Harold born 1916.
  • Daughter Irene Elizabeth Trease was born in 1902 and married in 1928. She may have had children but her family has not been further investigated.
  • Son Harold was born on the 31st December 1916. He married Olive and had one son. Harold died in 1975. His wife Olive died in Camborne/Redruth Hospital on the 27th July 2004 aged 86. Her funeral was held in Troon Methodist Church on Wednesday 4th August 2004.
  
  
• Son William John Trease was born in the Redruth area in 1878. In 1911 he is recorded as living with his parents and working as a Blacksmith's striker. He appears to have never married and died in the Redruth area in 1932 aged 54.
  
  
• Son James was born in the Redruth area in 1879. In 1903 he married Mary Jane Cumming in Plymouth and they had two sons before Mary died in 1911 aged 35. James married again in 1916 to Irene B Laity in Redruth and they had one son. James died in 1944 aged 65 and Irene remarried in 1960.
  • Son Leslie Trease was born in Plymouth in 1903 and got married in Redruth in 1929. Leslie and his wife Lillie had a son and a daughter. Leslie died in 1944 aged 44. His wife Lillie outlived him by over 50 years and died in 1995 aged 88. Both their children married and had children.
  • Son Francis Ronald Trease was born on the 6th February 1907 in Mutley Plain, Plymouth, Devon and got married in 1929. They had a son and a daughter. Francis's wife died in 1985 in Camborne. Francis died in 1988 in Hayle, Cornwall.
    • Their son married in the 1950s but had no children.
    • Their daughter also married in the 1950s and had two sons.
  • Son William James Trease was born in the Redruth area in 1929. He married twice. His first wife died young a few years after they married. He married again and had a son by his second marriage. He died in 1985 probably living then in West Cornwall.
  
  
• Son Richard was born in 1882 and died in 1941 aged 57. He never married.
  
  
• Daughter Elizabeth was born on 13th June 1884 in the Redruth area and died in 1973 aged 89. Like her brother Richard, she never married.
  
  
• Daughter Lena was born in 1888 and died in the same year.
  
  
• A second daughter Lena was born in 1890 and died in the same year.
  
  
• Daughter Louisa, twin of Lena was born in 1890 and like her twin died in the same year.
  
  
• Son Samuel was born in 1893 and died in the same year.

	Mr Trease, who was unmarried, had been employed at Messrs Holman Bros., for about 38 years as a smith's strike.
	He went to his work at about 8 o'clock this morning as usual and apparently in normal health. He was working at an anvil with Mr William Yeo a smith of 65 Church View-road, Tuckingmill.
	Mr Yeo turned away from his work for a moment in order to get some wire which he required and when he turned back to the anvil he found Mr Trease lying on the ground apparently dead.
	Dr Coldrey was sent for and on his arrival he found that death had taken place.
	Mr Trease was well known in Camborne, and resided with his mother Mrs Anna Trease, a widow. So far as was known, he had always enjoyed good health.
