Moxley,Redman & Trenley

[vita]

Could someone please tell me if I've interpreted this correctly?

From the National Archives - Release and Conveyance, Ref D-W/9/14

Description: Moxley, Raynor, and Richard Barnes of Denham, gardener, to

Trenley.

Reciting Settlement, 11/12 May 1700, Hannah Redman, widow, and Moxley

(then Trenley) to Raynor and Barnes, on Moxley's marriage to Peter Moxley;

of a cottage in Denham town(occupied by Richard Woodhouse, and later by

John Alden) to use of Hannah Redman and Hannah and Peter Moxley for

their respective lives, with remainder to Raynor and Barnes.

Now Moxley wishing to settle the same on her only daughter Hannah, aged 15,

the trustees, at her request, have caused messrs John and James Gaylor of

Denham to value the cottage, which they find worth £50; Robert, Edward and

Martha Trenley, and Hannah and Hannah Moxley each have a one fifth share

in it, and Edward has purchased the shares of Robert and Martha,(now wife

of Thomas Lack of Denham, carpenter) for £10 apiece, and has consented to

purchase the whole to secure the £20 that will ultimately be due to his sister

in law Hannah Moxley.

For these considerations the cottage is conveyed to Edward Trenley absolutely,

subject to the sum of £20 payable to Hannah Moxley junior.

Date: 28 November 1716'


I had decided that Hannah Moxley snr was previously Hannah Trenley,

mother of Edward, and now remarried to Peter Moxley. That would make

15 yr old Hannah jnr Edward's step sister, but he refers to her as his sister

in law. Could the two terms have been interchangeable at that time?

[kiterunner]

Couldn't she be Edward's half-sister? And yes, "sister in law" could mean "stepsister" at that time.

[vita]

Yes, she could Kite & I thought it might also mean "stepsister." So one generation

further back was Hannah Redman, mother of Hannah Moxley snr. That's my earliest

so far!

[vita]

I need a bit more help with this one, please. I can't find Hannah Trenley's first husband,

father of Edward. I think she may have been the daughter of Edward Redman & Hanna

Titnall who married in Uxbridge in 1653. Both Hannah & her mother were widows by 1693.

Sorry Merry - yes it is. Edward Redman's note on marriage details says he

was from Denham although married in Uxbridge.

Probably a mis-transcription for her husband's surname?

Thanks so much Merry - that must be my Hannah.

Hi Vita
I am descended from Robert Trenley of Harefield who died 1742. He was born about 1686 and married Jane Hill whose family had land in Harefield and at some point in Denham too. They had only 3 surviving daughters so the name dies with them.
I do not know if this Robert is the one mentioned in Hannah Moxley's will, but the dates fit well, and Harefield and Denham are close.
Have you come across a Robert.

Hi David - thanks for joining & contacting me. I have indeed come across a Robert - I am

descended from Edward Trenley who kept the Falcon Inn at Denham with his mother

Hannah in the early 1800s. Edward had a younger brother Robert & a sister Martha (see

this post)

The name Hill is definitely familiar - from memory, I believe it was the name of the agent

who represented the landowning Way family in their dealings with the Tenleys.

My OH is disabled & I'm a bit tied up today but I'll have some time tomorrow & will dig

out my research on the families.

I've no objection to anyone joining in here if you're OK with it. I'm not that experienced

but these guys are brilliant & responsible for finding my Trenley ancestors in the first

place.

Vita.
