Muldoon

[margmasson]

 I am trying to find Daniel Gough Muldoon and  hoping some kind person may be able to help. He  died in Sth Africa early 1920's. Believe he may have migrated from Australia. He married Ellen Edith Cornell and there were children to this marriage. Would like to find out : When he migrated. Possible date of death and where died and name of parents.
 Thanking you
                         Marg.

                  With thanks

Hi
Only the indexes are on-line - you would need to write to the Archive to get copies or perhaps there is someone you know who could go there for you.
The Web site is known as NAAIRS the search page is at
http://www.national.archsrch.gov.za/sm300cv/smws/sm300dl
The contact address for the TVL archives is

TAB      National Archives Repository (Records of the former Transvaal Province and its predecessors as well as of magistrates and local authorities)
Postal address: Private Bag X236, PRETORIA 0001.

I have had good success with getting records from the Cape Archives - the main problem is that it doesn't cost much and its difficult to transfer such small amounts to their back accounts. I rely on my Niece to pay it for me.
If these are proper death notices they should give you the parentage and the children of the persons.
You won't find much on the migration records in South Africa - I don't think they kept them. I am battling to find when my Gr Grandparents went to Sa from AUS , unfortunately the AUS records don't include those emigrating.

Hi  Margmasson,

Just wondering how you are progressing with your information search.   I think I may have some of the information from South Africa and wonder what your interest is.

Kind regards

Margaret

   Hello Margaret,
 Thanks for contacting me. Would be interested in any informatoin you may have. My  interest is: G Grandmother Julia Gough married a Daniel  Muldoon. One of their children was "Daniel" The children from this marriage seem to have disappeared after about 1890. I know we are probably grasping at straws, but anything is worth a try.
                                   Regards
                                                      Marg.

Hello Marg

Thank you for your response.  Daniel Gough Muldoon was the son of Julia Gough and Daniel Muldoon.  There were two other children who died in infancy and possibly another sister.  He married Annie Elizabeth Killiard in Australia in 1891 and they had two children.  He was in South Africa in 1900 and joined Thorneycroft's Mounted Infantry, then transferred to The South African Constabulary.  In South Africa he had two children by Edith Ellen Cornell.  He died in 1921 in Germiston which I think is near Johannesburg.
