Are you sure of your grandfather's first name and that he was born and married in Ireland? there are no records in civil registration index (goes up to 1958) for any Mallen Gavin.

There is a possiblility that some people listed here could still be alive. Therefore, recent family details should be sent by PM rather than posted on this thread (both parties need 3 posts to do so).

Meanwhile, b1gobby, it might be a good idea to get your father's birth certificate to verify the names of both his parents and work from there. See Introduction to Irish Records-

There are 12 Gavins listed in Mullingar* D.E.D. in 1911 census but none named Mallen (or anything close. However, there are 3 Malachy Gavins in Co. Westmeath and one of them might be your grandfather.
