Hi Jackie,

Here is what my Mum had to say:

"I am pretty sure no Trenfields are buried at WP. I know a bit about
the family, but I don't remember any of those Trenfields. I knew Seth
Trenfield and his brother Bill. I suggest going through the Mansfield
or Jamieson historical society.

We found a bit in 'Gold in the Ranges' by Brian Lloyd about Albert and
George.

Albert - in this book it mentions an Albert who was Seth Trenfield Snr's
brother. In 1908 they bought a wagon and horses to begin a transport
business on the roads from Mansfield to Matlock and Aberfeldie. This
partnership apparently did not last very long.

George - worked at the mine and was sacked in 1934. He was one of three
workers in Jim Ainsworth's mining team who sued for the money owed to
them. Ainsworth's explanation for this was that the men were not up to
the job."

Jackie, I have book on WP burials, I will check it later today for info
on any Trenfields and get back to you.

Hi Kat,
My Aunt remembers Seth TRENFIELD. However, I'm not sure which Seth she
was
talking about as there were 2.
Walter Henry Seth TRENFIELD b. 1888 d. 1959 mar. May Elizabeth BAKER
and then there's their son, also named Walter Henry Seth TRENFIELD b.
1920 and married to Moira someone.

I have a copy of a newspaper clipping somewhere of Seth at a club
playing 8
ball or snooker. He was in a wheelchair. I'm not sure which Seth it
is. One of these days when I finish unpacking I'll find it....I've not
long
moved house.

I would appreciate anything your mother can tell me about the family. My
link comes in with Montague TRENFIELD b. 1895 d. 1977 mar. 1918 to
Sylvia May COLLINS b. 1899 d. 1981.

They had 6 children......

1. Merle b. 1918 mar. Fred WILLIAMS & had 3 children

2. Henry Montague b. 1919 mar. Joyce someone and had 3 children

3. Keith b. ? died abt. 2001 mar. Dulcie someone - 3 children

4. Patricia b. ? mar. Ronald Maurice CLINCH - 4 children

5. Ray b. ? mar. Nola someone - 1 daughter

6. Yvonne b. ? mar. Ray MITCHELL - 2 children

I have some other info. on the children but mostly names and who they
married and their children...but no real details.

Sylvia May COLLINS was the daughter of William COLLINS and Mary Jane
DOWNING.

Sylvia was my Grandmother's sister.

Anything at all that your mother can pass on would be great. Funny
stories, their religion....well, just anything would be great.

You may email me off list if you prefer at:

Thank you Kat
