TOUT, THOMAS FREDERICK (1855 - 1929), historian Wales in D.N.B. Before Sir John Lloyd in 1893 undertook the work, Tout wrote mostly on the Welsh of the Middle Ages; but his knowledge was not confined to that period - it was he e.g. who wrote the article on Charles of Bala; note also his paper ' Wales under the Stuarts ' in Liverpool Welsh Nat. Soc. Trans., 1891-2, 24-41. The main result of his study of Welsh history was to realise (as he

TREGONING, WILLIAM EDWARD CECIL (1871 - 1957), industrialist Born 17 February 1871, second son of John Simon Tregoning of Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, and Sophia (née Morris, of Liverpool) his wife. He was educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge, before becoming a tinplate manufacturer and director of John S. Tregoning Co. Ltd. (one of the first tinplate firms, in Llanelli), St. David's Tinplate Co., Bynea Steel Works Ltd., and other companies. He
teulu TREVOR Trevalun, Plas Têg, Glynde, The Trevalun Trevors were founded by RICHARD, sometimes called Sir RICHARD TREVOR (fl. 1500), 4th son of John Trevor ' hên ' and sixteenth in descent 'o dad i dad' from Tudur Trevor of Brynkynallt, who acquired the estate by marriage with Mallt, heiress of David ap Gruffydd of Allington (died 1476). Richard's great-grandson JOHN TREVOR (died 1589) fought in the French wars of Henry VIII as a
teulu TREVOR Brynkynallt, The numerous branches of the Denbighshire Trevor s all descend from Tudur Trevor (fl. 940), son-in-law of Hywel Dda and reputed 'king' of the borderland from the Maelors down to Gloucester; his second son (died 1037) inherited lands round Chirk, now represented by the Brynkynallt estate, and the surname became fixed in the time of his descendant John Trevor ' hên ' (died 1453). The family was
TREVOR, JOHN (bu farw 1357), bishop of St Asaph Very little is known about him, and the principal object of this note is to warn the reader against a tendency to mix him up with John Trevor (II). It is quite obvious that he was a 'climber.' We first hear of him in 1343 in the papal court at Avignon where he was given permission to hold a canonry at S. Asaph simultaneously with one at Bangor - in addition to which he was, in 1344, made a
TREVOR, JOHN (bu farw 1410), bishop of St Asaph He is known as John Trevor II in order to distinguish him from his namesake, who was bishop between 1346 and 1357 and with whom he is sometimes confused. Described in one place as Ieuan ap Llywelyn, he was probably a native of Trevor, near Llangollen, in Powys Fadog, and kinship with the well-known Denbighshire family of the Trevor s has been claimed for him, although there does not appear to be

TROY, BLANCHE HERBERT (LADY TROY), (bu farw c. 1557), Lady Mistress of Elizabeth I, Edward VI and Queen Mary helped her great-nephew, John Vaughan (son of Blanche Parry's eldest sister) in his career as he was a Page of the Chamber to Henry VIII in 1533, and a Sewer by 1538. That Lady Troy was in the household at that time is shown by a later report, author not named (on the subversive activities of the Earl of Essex and Roger Vaughan in 1601) which has the preamble 'My mother was chosen and brought to the
TUCKER, JOSIAH (1712 - 1799), cleric and economist , and in 1739 rector of All Saints in Bristol. In his earlier days at Bristol, Tucker was bitterly opposed to the Methodists; he published an attack on them in 1739, to which John Wesley replied in 1742. But during the 1756-63 war his views changed. The diary of the Bristol Moravian congregation, under the date 3 August 1759, records that Howel Harris (who, with his militia-men, was in Bristol at the
