Thanks

I think he may have been in Limvady as on one of the attachments i saw him listed as a spirits dealer.

Will the details i have been given have found other links on the Ancestry.com website

We've established that James mother was McCool/McColl. We have the birth of a James,father Hugh and mother Bridget nee McCool. We have 3 children born to this couple. The 1st James (d.aged 1) and Henry born in Limavady to Hugh a publican. James' birth cert gives his address as Linenhall Street. It looks like this is the same Hugh listed in the directories.
James the 2nd is born in Lisnacreaghog in what seems to be the home of Bridget's family...she's listed with her brother's family in 1911 census.Hugh was in/had an address in the US when James' birth was registered.

So, did Hugh come home from America? Did he die...I haven't found any more children. That's unusual. I haven't found a death record for Hugh in Ireland.


James' marriage cert should establish if these are the right records.

This looks like the birth of the bartender...but "our" Hugh was married at full age in 1904 when this Hugh was 15

Rules that one out then

Hugh died in America run over by a Tram and Bridget died of TB en route to America so the children went to live with relatives in Ireland . Dates though are not known

One of James Patrick daughters have red hair

Re Hugh Mullan ,what are the best trade directories to look at in Ireland to see which pubs he was Publican off in the early 1900s

I'm fairly certain that Hugh Mullan was NOT a publican in Garvagh. Have checked through my directory collection for Garvagh-
1870- Daniel Mullan
1892, 1895, 1896- no
1897- Imperial Hotel, Albert Moore (also 1910 & 1918)
1900, 1904, 1907- no

In 1927 William O’Kane, solicitor, Garvagh, applied on behalf of Mrs. Martha A. Moore for the transfer of a licence attached the Imperial Hotel, Garvagh, formerly owned her late husband. The application was granted.
In 1933 Mrs. Martha A. Moore, Imperial Hotel, Garvagh, was summoned for a breach of the licensing regulations

In 1909 there was an application by James O'Connor for the transfer licence to sell beer cider and spirits from Hugh Mullan to James O'Connor at 30 Linenhall Street where the applicant is now living.

So for some reason Hugh has given up the pub and residence. Perhaps he now needs to go to America to support his family while Bridget and family go to stay with her brother.
