Peggy married in 1804 the reverend William Hockin of Phillack, and the house eventually passed through this marriage to the Hockin family
The Reverend Williams had two daughters, the younger, Peggy married in
1804 the reverend William Hockin of Phillack, and the house eventually
passed through this marriage to the Hockin family. The elder, Deborah,
had married in 1803 captain Henry Pendarves Tremeriheere, of an old
established and noted Penzance family, to whom she had been betrothed
since 1798. H. P. Tremenheere had a distinguished career in the East
India Company fleet; made captain in 1804, he remained on active service
until 1817, visiting England only infrequently it appears. In the
meantime, The Reverend Anthony Williams and his wife Deborah had both
died in 1816.
H. P. Tremenheere and his wife Deborah had already been officially
resident at Treneere since 1803, but occupied it properly only from
1816/1817. H. P. Tremenheere, J.P. and Deputy Lieutenant for Cornwall
was greatly interested in agriculture and his gardens at Treneere were,
by some contemporaries, said to be unsurpassed in the county. There is
anecdotal and family evidence that HPT improved both house and estate,
continuing after the death of his wife in 1832, to the point where he
left the estate much burdened by debt when he died in 1841 (Cornishman 1961; Tremenheere, 1978).
Later 19th century
On Tremenheere's death, Treneere passed (as his wife's property) to his sister-in- law's family, Hockin of Phillack, who appear to have leased it out - perhaps with reduced grounds: in 1854 it was noted that the grounds at Treneere 'till very lately ... had a most park-like appearance.' (Courtney 1854).
