Irish Marriages

[fredbear]

Hi,
   I can find the marriage of Sarah STRATTON to John Sterrit in Dromore 1st Presbyterian Church on 28 May 1883.

Regards

Hi kingskerswell,
Have found the missing Sarah, the 4 people on Vol No 1 & Page No 223 are Sarah Stratten & John Sterrit date 1883 and Sarah Russell & Robert Truesdale date 1884

Happy days

Fredbear,
               Good news indeed. Unfortunately the Truesdale/Russell marriage is not listed in my sources.

I think my lip is dropping again
the LDS data base lists Sarah Russell married Oct-Dec 1984 Vol 1 Page No 223 Banbridge
and Robert Truesdale married OCT-DEC 1884 Vol 1 Page No 223 Banbridge the other marriages on the page are Sarah Stratten & John Sterrit

I should have checked the church records the last time I visited Ireland in 2005 but I didn't know the names then
.Regards fredbear

Indeed you are correct the Russell & Truesdale marriages are in a different quarter in 1884 there must be more marriages on that page

Working on the knowledge that a child's birth certificate or record would have his mother's surname on it.  I looked for the birth record of any of their children.
I found a birth record for Francis, aged 16 on the 1901 census.  (I only did this because I have a lot of Truesdales in my tree!)
Would you believe,  this is what it says:
date of birth 31.1. 1884
date of baptism 9.06.1884
Francis Trusdale (note, no e)
father:  Robert Trusdale, shoemaker
mother Sarah - no surname given!
Seapatrick Church of Ireland
So this is a baptism record, not a civil record
You would have to get his birth certificate, or that of any of their other children, to find the mother's surname.

Hope this helps, or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Hi Rosemary Joan,
You are correct Robert Truesdale was a shomaker his first born was Francis born 1884 Robert was my great grandfather his son Frederick born 1897 was my grandfather and he inherited his fathers shoe making tools which I have played with as a child my mother, Frederick's daughter was called after Roberts wife Sarah Louisa, the rest of Roberts family was born in Clarkill, Castlewellan in the Downpatrick registration district,  I have as a child visited one of the Truesdales in Clarkill I think it was Francis who we knew as Franke Truesdale. I was looking for the Maiden name of Robert,s wife Sarah Louisa.
Robert also had a brother Francis about a year older than Robert.
You have got the right stick
If you have Truesdales in your family we may be related
I have included a headstone of the Truesdale from Clarkill on my profile the names on it may be of some interest to you

I have sent you a PM.  What was Robert's father's name.  I see his nother was Ellen.  RosemaryJoan

Hi Rosemary Joan,
Robert' Mother was Ellen Truesdale from Clarkill, Castlewellan.
I am unsure of Ellen's maritial status, she may have been Ellen Johnson who married a William Truesdale in 1850. However that is all I know about William, if he was Robert's father he either died young or left the family as there is no mention of him on Ellen's headstone.
Ellen had 2 children that I know of Francis & Robert. Ellen died 13 Dec 1875 aged 55 years which puts her birth about 1820.
Ellen Johnson was born 11 Sept 1820 the daughter of Bernard Rooney & Mary Johnson.I believe she married a William Truesdale in 1850 The Johnson family came from Kilcoo not far from Castlewellan
Robert died 26 Aug 1921 aged 69 which puts his birth about 1852.
Francis died 3 Aug 1925 aged 73 which puts his birth about 1852 maybe they were twins but I think Francis was born 1851 and they are the only children of Ellen Truesdale that I could find.
I will get my Grandfather Frederick Truesdale's  birth certificate
many thanks for all your kind help
