| Trayes Family of St Teath, Cornwall | Change History | Codes & Conventions |
This page shows a tentative tree for the family of John Trayes who married Florence Blake in St Teath in
1722. The tree is continued to around 1900, or the first generation abroad for emigrants. St Teath village is about 3 miles south west of
Camelford where Thomas Trayes worked, like John's son, as a stone mason,
and about 12 miles south west of St Gennys where Peter Trease, thought to be another stonemason, lived.
Both John & Thomas were newcomers to the St Teath area as was Peter to the St Gennys area.
It is thought that the three stonemasons - John, Thomas, and Peter may be related in some way. Information found in March 2013 indicates that Thomas was probably the son of
John and Philippa Treis of Stoke Climslandand and, by implication, that John of St Teath was his brother born in 1697 but links with Peter have not been found.
The information known about each family and the source from which it has been derived can be found by clicking the
link "SOURCES" underneath the relevant family on the tree. The tree will be changed as more information comes to light and significant
changes made recorded in the Change History page.
You should note that different interpretations of the information could place the person to whom it refers in another family and the information shown may be
inaccurate e.g. it may have been transcribed incorrectly or the source document itself may simply be wrong.

Introduction
Insufficient information is available to complete a definitive tree for the first couple of generations shown. The rationale behind the tentative tree is explained below.
NOTE 1
No baptismal record has been found for John buried the 4th May 1773. However, when he makes his Will in 1773, he describes himself as "John Trayes the younger". This clearly implies that his father is also John Trayes and still alive. The only other records of a John Trayes living in the area in that period are: -
1722 m. 16Jun1722 St Teath. John Treeas and Florance Blake (IGI)(ER)(COD Banns and Phillimores) 1739 m. 29Dec1739 St Teath. John Treas and Florence Rogers married by banns (IGI)(ER)(COD - TREAISE) 1778 i. 02Dec1778 St Teath. John Treas buried (ER and COD - TREASE)
The earliest baptism of a child of John Trayes the younger is that of his daughter Florence in 1745. This exactly fits with him being a son of the John Trayes who married in 1722 and himself marrying around 1744/45 when he was about 22.
No marriage register entry has been found for John Trayes junior. His wife Mary was clearly alive when John made his Will of 1773 in which he refers to his "dearly beloved wife, Mary". On the 29th April 1774, one year after John died, the marriage of Mary Trease of St Teath is recorded. The marriage register entry describes Mary as a spinster rather than a widow and if the entry is correct it would rule out it being the remarriage of John junior's widow. However it is reasoned that the marriage register is erroneous because : -
However robust the above interpretation of events seems to be, it would be transformed if just two events had failed to be recorded in parish registers - the burial of Mary Trayes, wife of John Trayes senior, and a baptism of a Mary Trayes.
St Teath is on the North coast near Tintagel and adjoins Lanteglos by Camelford parish on the inland side (see Map). St Breward parish is on the other inland side of Lanteglos by Camelford and at its closest point about two miles from St Teath, so John and Thomas lived within walking distance of each other. They are first recorded in the area within a few years of each other and at that time no other Trease families are recorded in the same area. For those reasons it appears that they are both related and have relocated from a more distant parish.
Apart from the closeness in place and time of their appearance in the area, there are three other similarities : -
As they marry within 10 years of each other, they seem of similar age and most likely to be brothers or first cousins.
The name Thomas Trayes is extremely rare. All instances of the name Thomas Trayes (including all known spelling variations) recorded in Cornwall during the period 1650 - 1800, other than for the Camelford/St Breward families, are shown below : -
1. c. 14Feb1664 Stoke Climsland. Hannah TRIYES d/o Mr Thomas & Mrs Maries (COD) 2. c. 21Jul1687 Stoke Climsland. Thomas TREIS s/o John & Phillip (COD) m. 15Jan1710 St Neot. Thomas TREES of Stoke Climsland & Mary HARWOOD otp (IGI M053241, COD - HENWOOD) i. 22Jan1711 Stoke Climsland. Mary TREISE Wife of Thomas (COD) 3. c. 12Dec1760 Callington. Thomas TREISE s/o John & Catharine [Family 16j_cq] i. 22Dec1760 Callington. Thomas TREISE NOTE: This Thomas is thought to be the grandson of John & Catherine nee BROWN known to be in St Kew in 1718. 4. c. 26Jan1794 Quethiock. Thomas TREASE s/o Joseph & Charity [Family 17j_cb] NOTE: This Thomas is the great grandson of Arthur, brother of Thomas of Stoke Climsland (c.1687). 5. c. 06Jul1779 St Gennys. Thomas TREASE s/o Michael & Mary [Family 17m_mj] NOTE: This Thomas was almost certainly named after his maternal grandfather. Interestingly other Thomases outside of Cornwall are : - 6. c. 01Apr1793 St. Andrews, Wiveliscombe, Somerset. Thomas TRAYS s/o William & Grace (WTR) [Family 18t_eb} 7. m. 01Apr1763 Langtree, Devon. Thomas TRAES & Patience PARISH. NOTE: Currently no further records found of this couple.
The second entry shown above is the only Thomas Trease recorded in Cornwall in the late 1600s/early 1700s and all records for him cease after his wife dies in 1711. The records of Thomas TREISE of Lanteglos by Camelford shown below neatly fill the gap from 1711. The date of his second marriage, his death, which would be at age 78, if born in 1687, even the name of his first daughter Philippa, possibly after his mother Philippa, all fit - plus there are no other records for Thomas Treise in Cornwall.
1712 m. 27Dec1712 St Breward. Thomas TREISE and Catherina ROUTLEY (COD) 1713 c. 19Oct1713 Lanteglos by Camelford. Philippa TREYS daur of Thomas and Catherine (FMP) - more baptisms/deaths etc 1766 i. 25Jun1766 Lanteglos by Camelford. Thomas Trays buried (ER)
Furthermore, Thomas has a brother John who is about ten years younger and whose age fits the profile of the John Trease who married Florence Blake.
1697 c. 02Dec1697 Stoke Climsland. John TRES s/o John & Philippa (COD) 1722 m. 16Jun1722 St Teath. John Treeas & Florance Blake (IGI)(ER)(COD Banns and Phillimores) 1778 i. 02Dec1778 St Teath. John Treas buried (ER and COD - TREASE)The above evidence that John and Thomas were brothers and the sons of John and Philippa of Stoke Climsland is strong. The availability of Parish records in Cornwall from 1700 is fairly good but still incomplete. However before then the records deteriorate rapidly the further back you go so the fact no other Thomas is known is inconclusive. Also it is possible that Thomas came from outside Cornwall. Accordingly it will be necessary to continually review the situation as further relevant information comes to light.
In 1707 Edward Routley and Catherine Paul marry in Lanteglos by Camelford and appear to have had two children : -
m. 22Apr1707 Lanteglos by Camelford. Edward ROUTLY and Katherine PAUL (COD) Daughter Catherine c. 10Oct1709 Lanteglos by Camelford. Catherine ROUTLY daur of Edward and Catherine (BTs COD)
No baptism record can be found for the other child, Robert, but the evidence that he was another child by this marriage, given below, seems conclusive. No other children can be found. The dearth of children indicates that their marriage may have come to an early end, possibly as a result of the death of one of the parents. Robert Routley, the only known surviving child, stays in the area and marries so somebody, possibly one of the parents, must be there looking after him.
Early deaths are often as a result of the wife who dying following a difficult childbirth, and are normally followed by a remarriage of the father who needs support in bringing up his children. No such remarriage of Edward Routly can be found. In fact, despite a thorough search of Cornish Paris Register entries, no record of Catherine Paul's husband, Edward Routly, or indeed any other Edward Routly has been found. The marriage and baptism entries shown above are the only entries that refer to him. Below are the Cornish parish register references found so far to possibly related ROUTLEY families : -

Also a contemporary Cornish reference has been found to an Edward Routley who, in 1710, completes the Inventory to the Will of Leonard Box of North Tamerton, which is a few miles North of St Stephen by Launceston and on the Devon border (see Map). Persons who do Inventories are normally local and literate such as established Yeoman farmers.

Son Robert
The Robert ROWLEY who marries in 1733 is almost certainly a second child from the marriage. Not only is the marriage date at a suitable age for Robert to marry, he also names his first son Edward. In 1765 Catherine (Welthine) Ritley of Camelford marries James Simmonds in Sherborne, Dorset and one of their offspring names their first daughter Catherine Paul Simmonds presumably in honour of their ancestor Catherine Paul.

Thomas is thought to be the son of John and Philippa Treis of Stoke Climsland who was baptised in Stoke Climsland on the 21st July 1687 and married Mary HENWOOD in St Neot in 1710. (see explanatory note 3.)
His wife Mary died just one year later in Stoke Climsland. No children are recorded from that marriage and it may be that Mary died as a result of a difficult childbirth but there is no further evidence to support that possibility. After Mary died, he appears to have moved to the parish of Lanteglos by Camelford where, two years after his first wife died, he married for a second time to a widow Catherine Routley. (see explanatory note 4.)
Catherine Routley appears to have been in a similar situation to Thomas. She had married her husband, Edward in 1707, and conceived two children before he died. Her daughter Catherine had died at the age of two but her son, Robert, had survived and she was now left to bring him up without a father. The marriage to Thomas must have been a relief to her and similarly Thomas must have been relieved to marry so shortly after his first wife died.
We don't know exactly how old Robert was but he was certainly under 5 years old and possibly as young as two years. Over the next five years he was joined by four other children but only one of them, Thomas who was born in 1715, survived. The last two children, John and William, were twins born in 1717, just five years after Thomas and Katherine married. After that no more children are recorded in the Parish Register. Catherine died in 1749, 17 years before her husband. This fact plus the lack of any further children after 1717 may indicate that she was older than Thomas.
The family was, however, to expand a bit more, because of an indiscretion of Thomas's. Early in 1722, Thomas took responsibility for a base child of Elizabeth Hill. The undertaking he took with the local parish officials was that for seven years he would pay for the upkeep of the child or be liable to a fine of £80. After the seven years was up, William Hill, a base child of Elizabeth Hill, and almost certainly the same child as the subject of the Bastardy Bond of 1722 became the subject of an apprenticeship indenture with Thomas. The deal agreed was that Thomas would house, feed, and clothe William and train him in the skills of Masonry, in return for which William would serve Thomas for 17 years until he was 24. It was normal for apprentices to live in the household of their master so possibly from 1729 onwards, William may have become an additional member of the Household. Presumably before then he would have been living with his mother. We don't know whether William served the full term or what became of his hapless mother, Elizabeth, but he was just as much a Trayes albeit with the surname Hill .
Although Thomas was a mason and presumably served an apprenticeship himself, his training does not appear to have included reading and writing as he marked his name on official documents with a simple "T". In 1729 when William Hill became his apprentice at age 7, his stepson Robert would have been in his late teens. We don't know what Robert did for a living but it seems inconceivable that, as the oldest son, he would not have helped his stepdad at work. Four years after William started his apprenticeship, Robert got married and started a family in the Lanteglos by Camelford parish. His son, Edward, who went to work in Egloskerry, definitely was a tradesman as, in the correspondence shown below, Camelford parish were quite keen to have him back as they wanted "some of his trade" but, unfortunately, they do not say what his trade was. We know that Thomas junior, who was younger than Robert, by maybe 5 years, did not become a mason, as you would have thought his father may have wanted, but instead became a mariner. Possibly there was not enough work for the two sons and the stepson to help their father. Thomas became a merchant seaman, married when he was 25, and died at sea 10 years later leaving only one son, also called Thomas, who also died young aged 19.
In 1732, the year before stepson Robert got married, Thomas's family moved home to Darke Lane, Camelford and stayed there until 1751, two years after Catherine died and when Thomas would have been 64.
Thomas himself died in 1766 aged 78. We don't know what had happened to his son William Hill by then, but all the rest of Thomas's family had predeceased him - wife, children, daughter-in-law, and grandson.
Accordingly, with his death, this branch of the TRAYES family tree comes to an end.

Thomas undertakes to train William Hill, a base and poor child, in the Art of a mason. The undertaking commits William to serve Thomas until he is 24 years old. For his part, Thomas has to house, feed and clothe William. This indenture starts almost exactly at the end of the seven year effective period of the Bastardy Bond and presumably relates to the same child. It is unclear why he should now be named William when the baptism was of John. Perhaps his christian name was changed to create confusion about his true identity. After the date of this indenture no further references have been found to this William Hill. 1751 17May1751. Thomas conveyed property in Lanteglos to Duke of Bedford.

in 1755 Edward married in Egloskerry and stayed there (see explanatory note 4).
In 1764, Edward asked Egloskerry churchwardens if he could be settled there, and they wrote to Camelford who replied to Egloskerry :-
"Sir,
I have talked with Captain Phillips about Routly, who said he is not against Routly's staying in your parish. If your parishioners are willing
to be out of him we shall be glad if he would come here and settle for we want some of his trade. He was born here and I believe never got
any other settlement. I am your humble servant,

RETURN to FAMILY of THOMAS & CATHERINE TRAYES
Thomas is the son of Thomas and Catherine TRAYES nee PAUL. His grandparents are thought to be John and Philippa TREIS of Stoke Climsland.
He did not follow his father and become a mason but, instead, became a mariner and died at sea when he was only 35.
In 1745 or 1746, Alexander Pope, a local miner, spread rumours that Thomas's wife Mary was a whore and Thomas obtained a local court judgement
against him for defamation of her character. Unfortunately we shall never know the background to this case, and particularly the role that
Thomas may have played in bringing it. It seems a strange case to bring, more appropriate to a public figure whose reputation was
under threat. Mary's friends would all know her well enough not be influenced by untruths.

RETURN TO TENTATIVE FAMILY TREE
John is thought to be the son of John and Philippa TREIS of Stoke Climsland.
John appears to have married twice. No baptisms from either of the marriages have been found yet. His first wife died only 18 months after they married. Possibly her death was the result
of a difficult childbirth. If so, the child may have been baptised privately at home hence the omission to subsequently update the St Teath baptismal register. John's second wife may have
been 42 when they married and possibly no children resulted from his second marriage.
In 1774 John BLAKE, the nephew of John's first wife Florence BLAKE, appears to have married the widow of John TREASE, thought to be John's son. This marriage adds to the evidence that John is his son, although no baptism has been found. The
1841 Tithe Map of St Teath shows that the locations known as the BLAKE and TRAYES tenements were adjacent to one another and it is possible that this was the case in 1774.

Jennefer is the daughter of John and Mary Treise.
After her marriage she appears to be the wife named "Jane" in the St Enoder baptismal records and the Jennifer, wife of William Merrifield
of Tucking Mill, St Enoder who is buried in St Enoder graveyard in 1830.
Between their marriage in 1777 and their appearance in St Enoder in 1785 no records have been found that definitely
relate to them. It is thought that William and Jennifer would have had several children in that period including possibly a son named William.

RETURN TO TENTATIVE FAMILY TREE
Stephen is the son of John and Mary Treise.
After the burial of his daughter Thomasine at St Tudy in 1774, no further records of him nor his wife have been found so far in this area.
It is surmised that his wife may have died shortly after his daughter and that Stephen left the area to start life afresh elsewhere.
The only Stephen Trayes whose records appear to match those of this Stephen that have been found so far are those of the Stephen Trayes
buried in 1816 in London whose age matches that of our Stephen. There is also a Rebecca Trayes buried in the same cemetery in 1827 and this fits
matches the marriage of Stephen and Rebecca Goodchild in Amersham which is about 25 miles from London. The date of this marriage is given as 1776
but there is also another transcript which gives 1771, which if correct would almost certainly rule out this marriage as that of our Stephen.
There is another London marriage of Stephen Trayes, a widower, to Elizabeth Emery in 1794
in Finsbury, which is in the vicinity of Featherstone Street where Stephen and Rebecca were living when they died.
This may be connected in some way or it may relate to a different family, possibly the TRAYES family of East Anglia who also use the christian name Stephen.
In her will drawn up in 1827 Rebecca does not mention any children. No further records of this second Stephen nor his wife have yet been found.

John is the son of John and Mary Trayes. His grandparents are not known for sure but are thought to be John and Florence Treas nee Blake.

Trees drawn up following earlier research, possibly originating from North America in the 1980s, give the impression that there was no doubt that the John Trayes who married Margaret Wilkey was the son of John and Margaret LANG. However research done in 2014 indicates that he is more likely to be John, the son of John Trayes, baptised in St Gennys 1774. Until further research has been carried out to resolve this, the marriage is currently shown on this website on both family trees and in both cases is preceded by a "?" to indicate a degree of uncertainty.
As far as can be ascertained, the original decision that the John TRAYES of this marriage was John TRAYES baptised in St Teath in 1775 appears to have been solely based on the fact that he was of the right age. Evidence that he had not died was supported by the conjecture that he may have been the John Trease who witnessed his sister's 1802 marriage. Also to explain why he had been left out of his father's will made in 1805, it was conjectured that he had created a rift with his father by running off to sea and refusing to take over his father's business.
A starting point of further research will be to obtain and compare the signatures of the John Trayes who signed the 1802 marriage register with the John Trayes who signed the 1805 will. Interestingly the John TRAYES who married Margaret WILKEY in 1806 was unable to sign his own name and merely put his mark on the marriage register.
1775 c. 28Feb1775 St Teath. John son of John and Margaret Treise (ER,COD) Is possibly the John TRAYES who witnesses the following 3 marriages at St Teath :- ?1802 m. 31Jan1802 St Teath.

The Edward George who signs the Will could be the s/o Edward GEORGE & Ann INCH baptised 10Jan1747 in St Teath. He was of similar age to John TRAYES of the Will and like John he may have married in 1770 to Catherine THOMAS and again in 1790 to Ann KELLOW. The George family of St Teath are currently being researched by others and a very interesting web site is being developed (as at March 2014) which is well worth looking at. It gives excellent background information about St Teath including reminiscences of residents. ?1806 m. 03Sep1806 Plymouth St Andrew.

Their marriage record has not yet been found but it seems highly probable that William Goodman's wife was Elizabeth TRAYES
daughter of William and Elizabeth Trayes nee Bate and
granddaughter of John and Margaret Trayes nee Lang because :-
1. The middle name TRAYES was given to many of their children.
2. After he and his wife died, some of their family lived with William Cowling thought to be the widower of Ellen TRAYES.
3. Elizabeth's age matches that of their daughter Elizabeth TRAYES

John was the son of William and Elizabeth Trayes nee Bate and
grandson of John and Margaret Trayes nee Lang.
He married Mary Smith in St Teath in 1834 and appears to have had only one daughter, Ellen.
At the time of the 1851 census he was an out of work miner. Shortly after he emigrated to the USA and the family set up home in
Wisonsin where John became a farmer. His daughter Ellen married Benjamin Wilcox who appears to be from a local Wisconsin family and they
had several children before he died. After his death Ellen returned with her family to live with her parents. It is not known when or where
John and Mary died.

William is the son of Thomas and Mary TRAYES nee LOBB and grandson of
William and Elizabeth TRAYES nee BATE.
Although he was baptised William Thomas, he seems to have been nearly always called Thomas.
He and Margaret appear to have emigrated to Colorado, USA, where he worked with his brother John F Trayes and they had several children.
By 1901 Margaret has returned to IOM with a daughter Edith and a son Frank probably following the early death of her husband.
It is thought that they had a son John Thomas Trayes who stayed in Colorado with his uncle John and who died in 1924 a few years after his
uncle who died in 1921. Both John and his uncle were buried in Globe Cemetery, Gila County, Colorado.

Ellen is the daughter of William and Grace Trayes nee Hocken and granddaughter of
William and Elizabeth Trayes nee Bate.
Ellen married William Cowling in 1851. William was a blacksmith but some time between 1858 and 1865 he had to give up that trade and become
an agricultural labourer. In 1865 Ellen died a few days after giving birth to twins John and Margaret, both of whom subsequently died.
By the time of the 1871 census, William was without work and living in Trelill with his sister both of whom are classed as "paupers".
It is conjectured that William may have suffered failing health.
Two of his children, Emily and Frederick, had gone to live with their Aunt Emma Pinch in St Teath and one of them stayed with his grandfather
but the whereabouts of his oldest son, William Henry Cowling, is unknown. William Henry may have left St Teath to find better chances of
employment elsewhere.
William, the father, did recommence working as an agricultural labourer before he died in Trelill in 1881 aged 63.

Per information from descendants, John served a 7 year apprenticeship as a hatter. He went to Scotland with his family prior to 1840 and
was a member of St Cuthberts Church in Edinburgh. in 1852 he went from Scotland to Canada. After he died and probably about 1856, his widow
and children moved to the USA.
John and Jane give most of their sons with the middle name "Brooke" but they name one of their sons "William Henry Trays". This son is baptised in the church of St Cuthberts in Edinburgh in 1840. In the same church 5 years later, another William Henry Trays, who was
born ,like John in Plymouth,in 1825 and who was the son of Andrew, a baker, baptises his first son "William Henry Trays".
It may be a coincidence but it seems probable that the two fathers both from Plymouth, both with the same surname, and both moving to Edinburgh within a few years
of one another and both using the same church and both giving their sons identical names were at least friends with each other, if not in
some way related.

(Biographical Sketches of Leading Citizens of Houghton, Baraga and Marquette COUNTIES - Michigan
Biographical Publishing Company, Chicago, Illinois, 1903)
William F. Trayes, vice-president of the Hancock Evening Journal
Company, and managing editor of the newspaper, received his early training
in the office of his father, the late J. B. Trayes, who was editor and proprietor
of the Daily and Weekly Times of Port Hope, Province of Ontario, and editor
and publisher of the Canadian Craftsman, the leading Masonic paper of the
Province.
On the death of his father, William F. Trayes became editor and manager
of the Port Hope Times. He published the Times successfully for four years,
and then sold the newspaper and went to Montreal, where he accepted the
position of city editor of the Montreal Witness, a journal which ranks first
among the newspapers of Canada. He succeeded in making his mark in this
position, and, after two years on the Montreal Witness, resigned to become a
free lance in the newspaper field. As a special correspondent he represented
at various times the Montreal Star, the Toronto Mail, the Toronto Globe and
the Associated Press, and became one of the best known newspaper men in the
Dominion.
After coming to the United States Mr. Trayes was engaged as editor of
Campbell's Illustrated Journal, a monthly magazine published in Chicago,
which position he resigned to enter the newspaper field in Hancock, Michigan.

RETURN TO TENTATIVE FAMILY TREE
Sarah must have married before the 6th May 1805 when her father names her Sarah Lee but the only marriage that can be found is that of Eliza Trayes and James Lee in Stoke Damerel in 1796. Both Sarah and James mark rather than sign the Register. This implies neither of them could read nor write nor able to check the record in the Register. So the error may be an innocent mistake but there could be another reason.
Findmypast.co.uk assert that "Stoke Damerel hosted at least 10-12 weddings every day and the workload was so high for the local vicar there was little time to check if the two parties were of legal age. Marriages were particularly high during the Napoleonic Wars period 1797-1815 when local girls would be romanced by army, navy and marine troops passing through the port on their way to war. Those wishing to marry without too close an investigation were therefore drawn to Stoke Damerel for their ceremony, giving rise to its nickname as the Gretna Green of the West Country."
Sarah was most probably 18 when she married and almost certainly under age. The marriage makes no reference to the consent of parents and neither of the witnesses appear to be close relatives who
could possibly get into trouble by concealing her true age. Furthermore both witnesses write their own names and would have able to spot that Sarah's christian name was incorrect if indeed they knew
her real name. The use of a different christian name would have helped Sarah blur the issue as to whether it was her who had married and would have enabled her to both claim she was married or not married as appropriate.
We should therefore not rule out duplicity as a possible reason. Whatever the reason at the time, her father had certainly accepted the situation by 1805 when he made his Will and Sarah certainly continued to use the christian name Sarah in later years.
Subsequent references to Sarah indicate that the family was living at St Teath in 1819. An 1819 removal order from St Teath for James and Sarah Lee and their family, to St John's parish, Winchester, is firm evidence that Sarah Lee of St Teath had married James Lee from Hampshire. The order identifies four surviving children whose baptisms are yet to be found.
In the 1851 census, Sarah describes herself as "visitor, born Cornwall, British subject". The reference to her describing herself as a British subject may possibly have been prompted by her having recently returned from living abroad.

This is a handwritten document. Stamped in the top right hand corner is "Eight Pence Quire" in a circle surmounted by a crown.
In the document a long gap appears between the words "the above bounden Thomas Tries" and the next words "their Heirs". It may be that there was an intention to later add other names in the gap which were not known at the time of writing. That would certainly explain why the next words are "their Heirs" rather than "his heirs".

Dear Sir
I find it necessary to offer some explanation respecting my brother John Trayes who is nominated with myself and family and desires a passage to New Zealand - the Dr cannot certify for him on account of a slight mental defect (which is not hereditary) but caused by inflammation of the brain in childhood. He is not worse now than at my earliest recollection. The Dr can certify for him respecting his health also to improbability of mental distraction - my brother having capital would not become chargeable to the Colony. I and my brother have always lived together and have been farming together for the last twelve years. My brother deriving no profit neither subject to loss retains his money undiminished. Owing to adverse circumstances I have sustained considerable loss. As he has no other friends I have undertaken to provide him a home if needs be. I can verify this statement if required to do so. No doubt you are aware of his full passage money being paid in the Colony. As we desire not to be separated and ask your approval when I will forward the schedule for your consideration.
Yours most respectfully

The information set out there is very well articulated and many thanks are due to Lisa DUGGAN, the person who researched this and made the information available to others.
In brief, the papers described there include information that: -
- William's family were nominated by James TRAYES, a stonemason living in Auckland and the amount of £32.15.0 was paid on March 19th 1883.
- However because William's brother John, who was to come with them, had learning difficulties passage to NZ could not be approved.
- His sister, not named in the file (but thought here to be Jane YOUNG), had called into the Agent-General's office in London and confirmed his learning difficulties.
- William sent the letter above.
