John Mulligan of Rosewell, 1900-1973

[MonicaL]

Can see now the referece to place name Rosewell from John's Petition for Naturalization at the District Court of Eastern District NY on 31 Mar 1930.  On this, his date of birth is given as 1 Jul 1900 at Rosewell, Scotland. Spouse Mary B.

His death details are from 1983, not 1973:

John Mulligan
SSN 052-01-3230
Last Residence:    33570 Ruskin, Hillsborough, Florida, USA
B. 1 Jul 1900 and D. Mar 1983
State (Year) SSN issued: New York (Before 1951).

In additon, the Florida Death Index gives his specific death date on 10 March 1983. It also includes a middle name for him of Joseph.

Adding this link as Mary Ryan predeceased John (?) and always the possibility he may have remarried www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=108669681

Expanding now on that 1929 shipping manifest. He gives his father as contact in the UK:

Mr Hugh Mulligan of 16 Louisa Square, Rosewell.

He gave his US contact as his aunt in Brooklyn, a Mrs Bridget Herrity.

Carole's census entry for 1901 will hopefully help you expand his family further.

Hi Monica, my original source for John Mulligan is that he was married to my great aunt Mary Ryan, both emigrated to the US, she in 1925. They had 2 children^(*). I am trying to trace the girls forward, but also Mulligan back to Scotland.
Your john is indeed the John Mulligan of Rosewell.thank you.
Tell me, how do you trace social security numbers, say, of the daughters? Is there a website? Thank you all for helping

Hi Kathy

Re following up on the children of Betty and Joan, best to check on the US board and get guidance from there 

Re the Scottish side, as always, Scotlands People will be your main source of info. The marriage of John's parents, Hugh Mulligan and Elizabeth McGann looks to have been in 1898, in Lasswade, Midlothian. Carole mentioned earlier the possible birth entry for John Mulligan in 1900. You can either jump forward to try and expand John's family group with his siblings up to the 1911 census or begin working back with the family details on his parents' marriage reg.

In the meantime, possible 1881 for John's mother and her family:

Patrick McGann 35 Shipyard Labourer b. Ireland
Catherine McGann 30  b. Ireland
James McGann 9 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FQP2-4RH
Ann McGann 7
Patrick McGann 5
Eliza McGann 3
Margaret McGann 1

Address: 27 Hamilton St., Govan

The 1898 marriage cert will help you confirm parents' names.

Possible death for father Hugh, aged 88, in Lasswade area in 1955. For mother Elizabeth McGann/Mulligan likely death also showing in Lasswade in 1945, aged 66.

Do you know if the daughters are definitely deceased?  If not, their names shouldn't be mentioned here and no Social Security information would be available.  If they are deceased, the Social Security death index is available on Ancestry and familysearch.org.

There's a Mary Mulligan in the same cemetery with the death date of 1966.  https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Mulligan&GSiman=1&GScid=72057&GRid=108669759&  That seems to fit with this entry in the Florida death index - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VVFW-LZC  The middle initial R may stand for Ryan.
