Frederic Trench, 2nd Baron Ashtown

Frederic Mason Trench, 2nd Baron Ashtown (25 December 1804–12 September 1880), was an Irish peer.

He was son of Francis Trench and Mary Mason, and nephew to Frederic Trench, 1st Baron Ashtown. He was High Sheriff of Galway in 1840. While his claim to his uncle's title was admitted on 12 July 1855, he actually succeeded on 1 May 1840. Lord Ashtown died, aged 75, at Clonodfoy (otherwise known as Castle Oliver), County Limerick, and was buried at Woodlawn, County Galway, on 17 September 1880.

Family

Frederic Mason Trench married twice, firstly on 29th August 1831 Harriet Georgiana Cosby (d. 1845), (daughter of Thomas Cosby of Stradbally Hall, Co. Laois, and Charlotte Elizabeth Kelly) and secondly on 10th February 1852 Elizabeth Oliver Gascoigne, (daughter of Richard Oliver Gascoigne of Parlington Hall, Aberford, near Leeds in Yorkshire and Mary Turner), in Aberford.

Lord and Lady Ashtown lived much of the year at Castle Oliver, Co. Limerick, Ireland (also known as Clonodfoy), which was built in 1845 by Elizabeth Oliver Gascoigne and her sister Isabella. Lord Ashtown died at Castle Oliver, but is buried in the Trench family mausoleum near Woodlawn, Co. Galway, his family seat.
