James Mullin is described as:
1855 - a farmer on Margaret's marriage certificate, and "the late James Mullin" in the newspaper notice.
1856 - a butler on James and Sarah Jane's marriage certificate
1858 - a butler on John Michael's marriage certificate
1859 - a farmer? (hard to read) on William and Eliza's marriage certificate
1879 - a farmer on Charles' death certificate
1901 - a surveyor on Margaret's death certificate
I've checked the two saying he's a butler and am sure they don't say beetler. Would many homes in Newtown Limavady have a butler at that time?
The children went to Victoria, Australia at different times between 1840 and the mid 1850s.
