Hi Again
I think you are both ahead of me on some of the subjects but this is where I am. My Dad who passed away last July was William Richard Stern Truesdale son of David Truesdale and his wife Elizabeth Jane Hayes they had a daughter Louise who emigrated to Canada and married a Harold Spere they had one son who still lives in Canada. My grand-parents David And Eliza stayed on a farm in Upper Clarkhill. My grandfather died at an early age on 12th May 1935 as a result of an accident my grandmother remarried to Joe Kelly and came to Scotland with him.I have a copy of my great grandfathers will Robert who married Sarah Maria Stern from Belfast on 26th December 1883. I am sure you both know most of this already. My Dad told me his Uncle Frank stayed in 16 Blue Row Castlewellan and his family was Robert, Maisie, John, Frank and *. * went to America and joined the Police and as far as I am aware is still living on my last contact with his son * Truesdale.
His Uncle Fredrick Freddy as he called him stayed at 19 Blue Row and his family was Louise, James, Ruth, Eva and Samuel.
Aunt Maisie again he called her Cissie married George Kelly they also lived in Upper Clarkhill and their family was Victor, Bobby ad Maggie.
He also talked about John Truesdale who I assume was Franks son toured at times with carnivals he later became a paratrooper then a glider pilot he was shot down over Norway he eventually settled in Surrey. His other son Frank was badly wounded ended up a POW nd took part in the Chiang Kaj Chek if that's how it's spelt.
I am only as far back as my great grandfather and slowly working back , if you could provide me with any info I have not got an any copies of certificates/photo's of the family I would be deeply grateful as I don't have any photos of my far back relations.
Could I ask where both of you fit into our family tree.
Thank You

Hi fredbear and Rosemary Joan,
I have just came onto this site today with lots of interest as both of you could be relations.My Dad came from Castlewellan and was brought up on a farm in Upper Clarkhill. I have done quite a lot of research on the family and the names that you mention with regards to Robert was a shoemaker then became a farmer and Sarah they were my Great Grand Parents. Sarah was Sarah Maria Stern .Their children were Francis born 1884 he had a son James, Richard born 1886, Sarah born 1887, Robert born 1889, William born 1892, David  my Grandfather born 1895, ad lastly Fredrick born 1897. I hope this is what your looking for if its the one you are looking for I have more information.
