Mullen Co Cavan
« on: Saturday 11 October 08 21:15 UTC (UK) »
Looking for Edward Mullen born about 1812. in Cavan. He is on 1851 census in Manchester, Lancashire with his wife Ann and sons John & Charles. Can't find him on the 1841 census. He was a Boot & Shoe Maker.

Son John was born in Manchester in 1847.

Would love to know when he left Ireland.

Checked the Cavan 1821 census with no luck.

There's probabyl no way of finding when he left Ireland as records weren't kept of people travelling between Ireland and Scotland/England/Wales (all were part of U.K.).

Only a small portion of 1821 census for Co. Cavan survives so the family could still have been in Ireland at that time.

Thanks for your reply.

Not much hope of finding him then.

1901 is the first complete census for all Ireland. Only small fragments of earlier ones survive for a few areas.
1841- Co. Cavan- only part of Killeshandra parish. Also some certified copies of census returns used for old age pension claims. - National Archives

Thanks for that information.

I knew it wouldn't be easy once I made the Irish Connection.

Cheers,

Would be grateful if someone could look at Slater's Commercial Directory for Cavan in 1840.

I believe Mullens had a Shoe shop on Main Street, Cavan.

Cheers,

Hello Poirot.

You can check Slater's here:

I've had a quick look through the pages for Cavan but can't find your Edward Mullen.

Good luck

Hello Rose,

Thank you for your help. As you said Edward Mullen is not there, I think he must have left Ireland before 1846.

I was hoping he might be listed in an earlier directory.

Cheers,

Poirot

Tradespeople living outside towns and villages might not be mentioned in trade directories.
