Frederic Trench, 3rd Baron Ashtown
- Frederic Trench, 3rd Baron Ashtown
Frederic Oliver Trench (February 2 1868–20 March 1946) was an Anglo-Irish landowner and opponent of the United Irish League.
He was the eldest son of Frederick Sydney Charles Trench (heir apparent to the 2nd Lord Ashtown) and Anne Le Poer Trench (eldest daughter of the 3rd Earl of Clancarty of Garbally).
At the age of twelve, he became the 3rd Baron Ashtown and inherited a vast estate and reputedly over a million pounds. Some of Lord Ashtown's County Galway estate was located in the civil parish of Killimordaly. According to valuation records he was landlord for the following townlands: Caraunbeg, Caraunmore, Creevagh, Dooghloon, Gortnaboha and Island.
He was educated at Eton College.
On January 11 1894, he married Violet Grace Cosby, the youngest daughter of Col. Robert Ashworth Godolphin Cosby of Stradbally Hall, Queen's County.
He was a hard-line Unionist; in 1906-10 he edited a monthly publication, GRIEVANCES FROM IRELAND, which denounced all political expressions of Irish nationalism as treasonable.
He was elected a representative peer in 1908. He died in 1946.
