McMullen Family

[heywood]

Deaths in Oldham for Mary 1 yr, 1882 and Thomas 34 yrs, 1883

Thank you heywood.  I'm sure that's the right family.  I have John Thomas Freel and Mary Ann (who later married JB McMullen) parents with children Albert b.1874, John Thomas b.1884 and Annie B b.1907.

I now see a Blake!!  Mary Blake was married to John Thomas Jnr.  Now I look at it they had children Albert b.1873, Thomas b.1833, Mary Ann Virginia b.1879 (who became a nun) and Mary b.1881 d.1882.  So that clarifies the death of Mary you sent me but I don't know which Thomas died in 1883 sounds like Mary's father.  I have 2 John Thomas Freels b.1826, 1884 and 1833 so not sure which is the one who died in 1883.

Sorry, no they are the Freel family from 1881.

Yes, as you say I'm wondering if I have a different branch of the family tied up together.  Trouble is there are so many people with the same names Mary Ann etc.  I think its too complicated now to work it out!
Now looking at 1901 Census and found them still living in Hardman Street

I might have missed something but why do you say, 'still living in Hardman Street'?
Do you have them in Hardman Street at another time?

1901 Census shows JB and Mary Ann McMullen living in Hardman Street with children Thomas Freel age 17 and Mary Ann McMullen age 8.

[heywood]

Yes I have that - it was just that you wrote 'still living in Hardman Street' so I thought they were there at another time. I wondered when  they there besides 1901.

While I'm on about John Bartholomew McMullen, I have a record that he or maybe JB Jnr had a criminal record for extortion and shooting someone.  Does anyone know where to look to see if I can find out any further information on this?

Sorry heywood for misleading you!!

Yes, if you have Ancestry, there is just a record that he got 12 months for shooting - 1887, I think it was.
FindMyPast has extracts from newspapers at the time but I can't see the full report. It happened in Bolton.
