Does anyone have any ideas how I can proceed with my Irish Family History? I have my 3 x Great Grandparents marriage cert, Margaret Mullins married Thomas Robinson 1874 Walworth, St Saviour, Surrey and they lived Deptford afterwards. I have found Margaret with her parents on the 1871 census for Deptford where she is the correct age of 16, born Liverpool, Lancashire. Her parents are Daniel & Hanorough Mullins aged 61 & 60 respectivley. He is a boilermaker as linked up with the marriage certificate of Margaret in 1874. They were both born in Ireland. I have the death certificate of Hanora Mullins of the same address in 1876 when her daughter registed the death, H Derbyshire. I have traced the marriage of Hannah Mullins to James Derbyshire in Deptford 1871. I've found what looks like my family in the Deptford 1861 census, but there are some oddities. Margaret aged 6 place of birth England Not Known, Hannah Mullins aged 9 born Ireland, Bridget Mullins aged 21 born Ireland. The Head looked abrreviated to Dl H Mullins (Daniel?) aged 15? a bootmaker and his wife Ellen? Mullins aged 20 born Ireland who are living with their daughters as listed above. As you can see the ages do not add up at all. I've located Hannah in 1881 & 1891 census for Greenwich where she is stated as being born in Cork, Ireland. Is there a way of getting her baptism details? I realise that the birth dates would be before Irish Registration. I cannot find Margarets birth certificate and am guessing the family came over from Ireland to Liverpool where Margaret was born before they came down to Deptford. Oral family history says they were originally from Killarney, Ireland.
If anyone has any bright ideas, I would most welcome them!
