Searching for living relatives of Katherine Mary Larkins nee Mullins 13 October 1917

Details from birth certificate

My name is Michael Larkins and my mother Katherine Mullins was born in Cork on the 17th October 1917.

In the mid 1970's my father and mother visited Ireland from Australia to meet with her surviving relatives.

Her eldest brother was one Patrick Mullins and if I recall correctly she had one sister living in Bexhill and Streatham in England and she was married to Kenneth Waters. My mother had several sisters in Ireland and during her trip I recall meeting some of them. My mother had one sister Joan Mullins who migrated to Australia in the early 1920's with my mother and their maiden aunt Margaret O'Brien.

My mother's parents were John and Mary Mullins.

My question then is could you advise me on the best method of tracing any surviving relatives.

Our family is planning on visiting Ireland and would like to make contact with the younger Mullins generation.

Hello Mullins, I am looking at old queries and the attached site has civil reocrds free to view, births from 1864 to 1923 and there is a Catherine and a Katherine born in 1917 in Fermoy in Cork, this is north of Cork city. Hopefully it is there rather than the city as people will be more local as the city has expanded a lot.

If you are sure of the district and parish you could try posting on this sites parish page.

I would also try a local Facebook group in the area, there are many Genealogical pages particular to the county or sometimes the actual area so you can apply to join and post there asking, we tend not to locate living people unless we have a local volunteer who may know the actual family and can inform them.

Good Luck

Pat
