*(Did Maria marry a Hull??)

ooh

Alfred Hull of "Fairview" Hillhall county Down farmer died 5 August 1936.

Was his wife Maria McMurray? Or his mother?

and

"Robert John M'Murray late of Fairview Hillhall County Down Farmer who died 12 February 1894 at same place were granted at Belfast to Charlotte Ann M'Murray of 34 Buckingham Palace-road London the Widow."

Huh? Why was his wife in London?

[whiteout7]

House 16 in Hillhall Lower (Drumbeg, Down) (Free Irish Census)

Hull   Alfred   52   Male   Head of Family   Presbyterian
Hull   Anna Maria   50   Female   Wife   Presbyterian
McLeer   William   55   Male   Servant   Presbyterian
McDermott   Ellie   26   Female   Servant   Roman Catholic

So Maria must have married locally

No children born alive in this census result for her......
