Hi Coldug,
the Mullins children were much younger I believe when they were takem to Australia..I have heard they were 11 years & younger.  They were taken back by one of he O'Brien sisters.

The uncle they travelled to Australia to join was an O'Brien.

Also,  I will check my family tree to see if there is a John O'Brien who left Kilbehenny, will let you kno.

Moinear,
              I will check again concerning the Mullins boys as the lady said there was no shortage of Mullinses coming here in that era so we will look for something younger. Did they go to Townsville to meet the sisters O'Brien or did they go to another Port instead and roughly what year did they travel? Colin.
