From on Tue, 22 Apr 2008

Hello Elizabeth, It is a long-shot contacting you about Trevenas, but I am curious to see if yours tie in with mine. It was the Avoca connection with caught my eye.
My 3x great grandfather Thomas Hellings married Mary Trevena 0n 24 Jul 1825 at St Gluvias Parish Church, Penryn, Cornwall. Mary Trevena was the daughter of Stephen Trevena and Mary nee Hambly, who married in Kenwyn, Cornwall in 1792.
Thomas and Mary Hellings' son, also Thomas Hellings, married Elizabeth Laen-Gay in 1829 at St Gluvias. They migrated to South Australia in 1854 and were settled at Moonambel, Avoca three weeks later when my great grandfather, another Thomas Hellings, was born (in a tent).
I wonde if you see any familiar names?
