Volunteer transcript of the Polesworth St Editha registers, read on 2026-08-29 via genealogy-cli (gen freereg --surname Trueman --county WAR --place Polesworth --detail). FreeREG's own coverage listing confirms Polesworth is a transcribed parish. Ninety-one Trueman entries survive there from 1632 to 1915; detailed baptism entries carry the father's occupation and the family's abode. No FreeREG entry anywhere in Warwickshire gives a Trueman the middle name Flear or Fleare.

One FreeREG transcript row, its fields pipe-separated in the order the genealogy-cli detailed listing prints them: Name, Date, Place, Father, Mother, Reference, Father's occupation, Abode. This is almost certainly the record the tree's uncited 1842 Polesworth birth was built from, and the censuses cited beside it show it is the baptism of the man who stayed, not of #21763. Corroboration from the same register: Olive Trueman, baptised 23 Nov 1881, father Henry TRUEMAN, mother Harriet TRUEMAN, occupation Miner, abode Polesworth, entry 2193 - the Oliver Trueman aged 1 in the 1881 census household. The corresponding civil registration is in the GRO index as Henry Trueman, 1842 Mar quarter, Atherstone, vol 16 p.220, Atherstone being the registration district Polesworth lies in, and a Henry Trueman marriage is registered there in 1863 Sep, vol 6d p.449.
