James Muldoon

Gender
Male

James Muldoon was married to Mary Smyth (or Smith) daughter of Bernard Smyth. Mary had a brother Jas (a storekeeper in Knockbride). James Muldoon  may have had a sister who may have married a man named McBreen, he may also have had a brother named Patrick. Mary Smyth had a sister Margaret who married a man named John Bugden in Australia.

James and Mary had 7 children in Knockbride before they emigrated to Australia in 1878. They were, Susannah, Patrick, Mary, Bernard (my grandfather), Alice, Elizabeth and Bridget. Six came to Australia but Susannah remained in Knockbride and may have married a man named Clarke and then emigrated to the USA. I am still trying to locate details of Susannah.

My grandfather's teacher was apparantly named Quinn.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
