Mullins Family

hi Emma,

I have Mullin/s relations in my family but haven't worked out where they fit in yet.

All I have on them is my Grandfathers sister travelled to New York with her Mullins cousins in 1903..............

A cousin of mine also has Mullins in his family, I have asked him for further details of his connection.

-----------

Anyway..............

There was an unmarried 35yo Laurence Mullin living with his Mother Mary and 6 siblings in Brierfield (Stevens), Moyne, Galway in the 1901 Irish Census that would match the Laurence you speak of.

Laurence's siblings were Nora, Maria, Ellen, William, Catherine, John.

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Moyne/Brierfiel…

So Laurence would have been born c.1865, by 1933 he would have been around 68yo.

In 1911 he is still single and 38yo ?? and living in the house with his Mother, his siblings have left the house.

The 1925 Census would show the names and ages of his children if this is the correct family - this Census unfortunately won't be released until Easter 2016.

There was a Patrick John Mullin born in 1920 in TUAM - this is where Births, Deaths, Marriages are registered for the Moyne area - this would mean he would have been 5yo in the 1925 Census.

If I find out any more I will let you know.

Our volunteer in the Abbeyknockmoy area has come back with the following query and information:

I need more information from the lady about her ancestor who emigrated before 1935. Is she in the Irish Census for 1911? What was her name, and when she was born etc ??---------- fyi I have managed to trace my Grandfathers MULLIN cousins in Moyne who may be related to the person you are trying help. They lived at Dangan Oughter (Moyne, Galway) This is the family on 1901...........http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Moyne/Dangan_Oughter/1397815/ The Mother was originally Ellen Higgins, also known as Nelly. There were another two sons already living in NY in 1901, Michael and Bernard. Ellen in the above Census, emigrated to NY in 1903.

Just wondering what info you need 

Liam Mullins family lives in Brierfield Stephens http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Moyne/Brierfield__S…

The families here according to family oral history were evicted in the c1870s from their lands in Kilbegnet (Creggs) and settled in Briarfield

I am doing their family tree as I am connected through marriage on my maternaland paternal lines 

Let me know what you need

I believe this is also my family. My 3x grandparents were Lawrence b c 1801 and Ellen (Tiernan? b c 1800 County Galway) Mullen. Known children were William b?, Thomas b c 1824, Patrick b c 1825-1828 (my 2x grandfather), Bridget b?, Dennis b c 1830, Catherine b?, Hannah b c 1838 and Lawrence b c 1841. There may have also been John b c 1842, but I haven'tfound any proof about him. Catherine was baptized in 1838 in Kilbegnet parish and Lawrence baptized there in 1843. I do know that William, Patrick, Dennis, Hannah and Lawrence immigrated to the states between 1848 and 1853. Patrick and Dennis came over together. I don't know when Bridget and Catherine immigrated. I do know Thomas stayed in Ireland, but that's all I know about him. Young Lawrence's son Paul wrote that the family lived in Brierfield. Patrick and Dennis' gravestone say they came from County Galway. Kathleen" Kara" Mullins is a DNA match to my sister Sharla Mullen Koller on My Heritage. I'm curious to know if she is a descendants of Thomas. Patrick first lived with John Mullen and family in Indiana. I believe this John to have been Patrick's uncle. We are DNA related to this John's descendants and stay in touch. Patrick married his first wife in Indiana and their 1st child, Ellen, was born there. His 2nd wife was Nancy Catherine Davis (my 2x grandmother). I will have to look through my research and find when Patrick was a sponsor for 2 of this John's daughter's that became nuns in Indiana.

Off the top of my head that's all I can think of right now. I would appreciate any and all help and direction. Thank you.
