Biography
A distant relative of producer William LeBaron, handsome, dark-haired Hugh Trevor had worked in advertising and the insurance business prior to making his screen debut for FBO in 1927, his screen test reportedly having been directed by Richard Dix. The collegiate type, Trevor supported FBO's answer to Rin-Tin-Tin, Ranger, in the action melodrama Ranger of the North (1927) and co-starred with Duane Thompson in the varsity comedy-drama Her Summer Hero (1928). Pleasant if unimportant stuff, but Trevor's screen career went into an immediate decline after the changeover to sound. His final film was Lowell Sherman's The Queen's Bed (1931), as the Crown Prince. His early death was attributed to complications following an appendectomy. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide| Wikipedia: Baron Trevor |
Baron Trevor is a title that has been created three times. It was created first in 1662 in the Peerage of Ireland along with the viscountcy of Dungannon. For information on this creation, which became extinct in 1706, see Viscount Dungannon. The title was next created in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1712 for the lawyer Sir Thomas Trevor; the fourth Baron was created Viscount Hampden in 1776. Both titles became extinct in 1824 (see Viscount Hampden for more information). The final creation of the title came in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1890. Lord Edwin Hill, third son of Arthur Hill, 3rd Marquess of Downshire and for many years Member of Parliament for County Down, had succeeded to the estates of his kinsman Arthur Hill-Trevor, 3rd Viscount Dungannon (see the Viscount Dungannon) in 1862 and had assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Trevor. In 1880 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Trevor, of Brynkinalt in the County of Denbigh. He was succeeded by his son, the second Baron. He was Vice-Lieutenant of Denbighshire. On his death in 1923 the title passed to his half-brother, the third Baron. As of 2009 the title is held by the latter's grandson, the fifth Baron, who succeeded his father in 1997. As a descendant of the third Marquess of Downshire Lord Trevor is in remainder to this peerage and its subsidiary titles as well as to the barony of Sandys.
The family estate of Brynkinallt (Welsh: Bryncunallt) was in Chirk, Denbighshire, Wales.
