I am looking for the marriage and birth records of Reverend Thomas Trevor Trevor who was a Prebendary of Chester (received his income from a parish attached to Chester Cathedral) and married to Elizabeth around about 1800.
His five children were all christened at Chester Cathedral between 1800 and 1806.
Mildred Judith Trevor 27 June 1800
Edward Trevor 27 February 1802
Robert Salusbury Trevor 31 December 1802
Salusbury Humphreys Trevor 3 March 1805
Frances Harriet Trevor 28 June 1806
My grandfather told me the family were related to John Hampden cousin of Oliver Cromwell, of English Civil War and shipping taxes fame. I'm trying to track the connection.
For anyone interested - Robert Salusbury Trevor joined the 3rd Light Cavalry and was assasinated in Kabul, Afghanistan in the First Afghan War of 1838-1842. His wife, Mary Spottiswoode and two of his sons, William Spottiswoode Trevor aged 10, and Arthur, a 'babe-in-arms" were taken hostage by the Akbar Khan but were later released. William returned to Scotland to attend school, but later returned to India and won the Victoria Cross in the Indian Uprising of 1865. His brothers, John Salusbury Trevor, Salusbury Thomas Trevor, and Arthur Charles Trevor, all were eminent persons in India. Arthur became a "Sir" and was a commissioner in Pakistan, John had a brilliant army career and became a Major General.
