Thank you Yvonne.I will try to supply you with my supporting data using some of what you last sent me.I only hope this is not too long (and detailed) a reply.

And from our research when we were in England:
When we looked for the marriages in Gwiniar Parish for the year 1865 we found:
DATE NAMES PROFESSION FATHER PROFESSION
JUNE 10,1865 EDWARD TREMELLING MINER WILLIAM MINER
ELIZABETH TREVASKIS JOHN MINER
And I also found in my research on the Latter-day Saints Intn'l Gen Index
ELIZABETH TREMELLING

Christening: About 1845 Gwinear,Cornwall, , , England
Marriages:
Spouse: EDWARD TREMELLING

"The information . . . has been very thoroughly researched and is printed in an excellent book called Trevasks - The Cornish Connection . . . "
We have also gotten info from researchers, but it was some time back.What we have are pages (copies) of documentation from the booklet entitled “Trevaskis - - Directory of a Surname” by Allan Edward Trevaskis USA, and Robert James Trevaskis, Australia.The distant relative who put our copies together felt that my husband’s Elizabeth Ann was the daughter of Edwin Trevaskis and Lavinia (Richards).Edwin’s 2nd great-grandfather was Samuel Trevaskis, born ~1667 and married to Mary Lowry.I have a smaller Family Tree file of this family.What we were given by the relative is incorrect since the Elizabeth born to Edwin and Lavinia was born in 1847 and she would have been too young, besides according to the marriage record her father was a John.We even have a certified copy of a birth certificate for that Elizabeth.So I have been trying my best to correct this family assumption.
Thank you again, for all of your efforts; what you gave did help. Sincerely, Karen
