Trevor was raised and educated in Barry, South Wales and studied medicine at Manchester University. He became a fellow of the college in 1969 and worked as a demonstrator in anatomy at Manchester University. After house jobs at the Derbyshire and Manchester Royal infirmaries, he was a surgical registrar at Ancoats Hospital before emigrating to Edson, Alberta in 1972. During his time in the Manchester area he met and married Margaret Isabel née Ellison, known as Mags, and their four children were all born in the UK. He worked as a general surgeon in Canada for 25 years before retiring in 1997. In spite of bouts of ill health, he then managed to spend six seasons in Arizona with his wife in their beloved mobile home. Avoiding the severe Canadian winters, they enjoyed playing golf and socialising with new friends.
