Fascinating to pick up this thread more than 4 years after its first posting, following an impulsive Google search for 'Professor Trevori'.
David Trevor (b.1828) was my great-great-grandfather, and I have inherited a collection of news cuttings and other ephemera relating particularly to his performing career. He travelled quite widely and performed before the nobility and gentry (or at least their household staff), including at Windsor Castle during Kaiser Wilhelm's state visit, no less. I don't know if he was a well-known perfomer nationally, but we have some fragments of theatre bills and a goodly collection of information about him. However not all of it is organised as I don't yet have time to investigate him systematically. I'm descended from his son Harry, who settled in Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
If he appears in odd places in Census years, it's highly likely he was on the road performing. Also, he married three times, just to confuse things.
Neophyte - if you haven't already contacted me (two people have in the last decade or so) and you're still after additional information about Professor (aka Signor) Trevori, especially if it's genealogical research, please feel to drop me a PM via this forum. Who knows - we might be related.
Thank you to those of you who've added to my knowledge of my ancestor by contributing to this thread.
