  BIOGRAPHY Alfred William Trueman was born 1853 in Walsall, Staffordshire, the son of Henry Trueman and Mary Ann Betts. Alfred's father was a cordwainer or shoemaker. In 1857 Alfred migrated to New Zealand with his parents, 2 brothers and sister on the ship ALMA. The family settled in Wellington and made shoes and boots. After the family arrived in New Zealand a further three children were born in Wellington. Alfred trained as a boot maker with his father. In 1875 Alfred married Elizabeth Ann Humphreys in Wellington. Alfred and Elizabeth lived in Wellington and had a son and five daughters. In 1877 Alfred's mother (Mary Ann Trueman) and sister (Mary Leonard Mudgway) were arrested and tried for the murder of the newly born son of Mary. Neither was convicted of murder, but Mary Leonard Mudgway was found guilty of the concealment of her son's birth, and was sentenced to two years imprisonment with hard labour. Newspaper accounts of the trial can be seen on a separate page. Alfred's wife Elizabeth died in 1892 and Alfred remarried in 1895, to Clara Fullford. Alfred and Clara lived in Wellington until 1900 and had three sons and a daughter. The family moved to Levin where they remained until Alfred died in 1932. Alfred died of cancer in Palmerston North Hospital and was buried in Levin Cemetery. 77th Birthday Mr Alfred Trueman, an old resident of Levin, reached his 77th birthday yesterday, and last evening a happy reunion took place at his residence, where relatives and friends assembled to congratulate him on his vigorous old age, which finds him still in the pursuit of his trade of bootmaking. Mr Trueman was born in Staffordshire and came to New Zealand 72 years ago. He has been in the employ, of Mr F. W. Pink for the last 16 years.
