About the study

The Tresidder One-Name study started in 2001, although I had been interested in family in Family History for many years before that. It grew out of research into my own family history and hitting a brickwall in trying to trace the birth of my 3x great-grandfather William Tresidder born about 1810 in Wendron, Cornwall. As a result I began to collect an increasing archive of Tresidder entries from various historical collections. The name was registered with the Guild of One-Name Studies in 2004

Variant names

The registered variants of the name are Tresidder, Treseder and Tressider
