Mullaghglass

[IanT1967]

Hi, I am a Truesdale, I lived in Mullaghglass until I was 8 years old. My Father was William, my grandfather and great grandfather were all called John Truesdale. The family farm that had been in the Truesdale family for hundreds of years was in Mullaghglass. Attached is a picture of the 1911 cencus showing my great grandfather and grandfather... Maybe my great grandfather John was a brother of Charles he would have been born in 1842

Thank you Kiltaglassan and IanT1967
So interesting to know that the Truesdale family had a family farm in Mullaghglass for hundreds of years.  My relative Charles was no doubt just one of a large family who wish to find his fortune elsewhere.  He did end up on the goldfields in Victoria eventually (but didn't make his fortune!).
Goodness gracious; I've used all sorts of variations on the Truesdale name in my searches but would never have thought to look for "Fruesdal!!)
I did eventually get to Ireland and grabbed a taxi in Newry to take me out to see the church at Mullaghglass - although the taxi driver had to ask all his fellow drivers if anyone had ever heard of the place lol - and I was able to take a few photographs
Thanks again everyone
Ann

Well, we were the last remaining Truesdales in Mullaghglass, and left in 1976 and moved to England...
