Treusdale in Co. Down

In my wife's family there is a Thomas Truesdale born about 1825 who married a Sarah McMahon born about 1825.
The Truesdale family lived at Ballynagappoge, Hilltown,County Down and the McMahon's at Tamary, Hilltown,
County Down.
This Thomas had five children (as far as I know):
Francis b.c.1845, Eliza Jane b.1847 d.1930, Mary Jane b.1850 d.c.1929,Sara Ann b.c.1852 and Margaret Ann b.c.1855.
The townland of Annahinchago / Annahunchigo near Ballyward is where other members of my wife's family (Young) come from and there are Truesdales, McMahons and Youngs still living around there.
One of the Youngs, Robert McIlroy, married Eliza Jane Truesdale ( mentioned above) and it is through that line that my wife comes from.
William George Truesdale could have been a son of Thomas Truesdale, given his date of birth in 1864, as may have Joseph and Isaac, although at the present time I have no information on them.
I hope that this may have been of some help but please get in touch to see if we can plug any gaps.
