> TRENHOLME HISTORY
>
>
>
> Trenholme lies in the Vale of Mowbray in the North Riding of
> Yorkshire, England. It is a broad 500 acre wedge of farmland
> in the bend of a brook, the Trenholme Stell. The Trenholmes,
> bearers of the name, were yeoman landholders in Trenholme
> since the reign of Henry VIII. The first known occupants,
> from which the family line is derived, were called 'de
> Traneholm', meaning of Trenholme.
>
> The invaders and settlers, the Vikings, left many Old Norse
> place names in Yorkshire. Yorkshire had become a Danish
> kingdom in 867, and the name Trenholme is taken from the Old
> Norse "trani holmr" meaning crane field. The European crane
> is a great gray bird, esteemed for food, and the land
> surrounded by a stream would have been an appropriate spot
> for them to nest. After 900 AD, the Norwegian Vikings, from
> their settlements in Ireland, overran that area of Yorkshire
> and captured York in 915, and in 954 York came again under
> English rule.
>
> The earliest reference to the name Trenholme appears in AD
> 861. Early family photos, and a book that belonged to John
> Trenholme in the early 1800's spell the name without the
> final 'e', but since the mid-1800's it is consistently
> spelled Trenholme.

> IV. Robert Trenholm was born October 11, 1712 in Welbury
> Parish, Yorkshire, England. He married Jane Mills around
> 1734. All of their children were born in Welbury Parish. In
> 1772, Robert and three sons, Matthew, Edward, and John,
> sailed out of Liverpool with a small group of Yorkshiremen
> on the 'Duke of York' bound for Nova Scotia. They sailed on
> March 16, 1772 and after a rough voyage they landed at
> Halifax six weeks and four days later. " After their arrival
> in Halifax, the men walked from Halifax to Fort Cumberland,
> a distance of 200 miles, through the woods, which was quite
> a feat, considering in those days there were no roads...
> Most of the settlers made their home at the old barracks at
> Fort Cumberland until they could find homes for themselves
> and their families."
>
> Robert and his youngest son, Matthew, settled at Windsor.
> John settled at Pointe du Bute on the Inverma Farm, and
> Edward settled at River Francis in the Upper Provinces.
> Edward, however, returned to England in 1775 or 1776.
> "Edward was forced to leave... during the American War of
> Independence when (the Americans) were on their way to
> capture Montreal in 1775 via St. John's, Quebec Province. It
> was in the house he built on the St. Francis River that his
> verses were found hidden behind the plaster walls when the
> house was being torn down. Some years after the American
> Revolution, Edward's son, William, in 1819 left Hull for
> Montreal in possession of a sketch of the area up the St.
> Francis River and the location of the house."
