Laura Trevelyan is of course also descended from *that* Trevelyan. Fair play to her and the others for acknowledging that their ancestors were scumbags - more important in my opinion than making token financial reparations . I mean,

100 000 ? Price of a small 3 bed house here.
Feel a bit sorry for Laura and co -their forbears were products of the wealth snd privilege they were born into and our own lot could have been just as bad it's just not o public record.

Isn't there also an MP by the same name , [not Laura now , lol] . And curiously enough there's a horse running today at Punchestown named ' Low Lie The Fields ' ........... I have to have a little e/w on that for sure , was 30/1 last night , down to 16/1 early morning .

Yes, Anne Marie Trevelyan. Not sure is she's related either by blood or marriage.
Have to say, I know there were Irish people involved in the slave trade too, so I had to Google Gloria Gaynor (the Morag family name) but it's not her real name! Doesn't mean we weren't involved at some point though.

Mr Nathan Mayer Rothschild furnished part of loans to the Government of the day , he provided 15 of the 20,000,000 required .

Been said final payment only finished in 2015 ....... disputed though .

Edit: Anne Marie is married to a John Trevelyan so if anything he'd be the decendant.
