Help! I'm searching for my Nanny's parents, names unknown as she was adopted out to a family in Newry. Through DNA I have found 3 links to the children of Bernard Mullen and Anne Cavangh but unfortunately there were 10 children! The ones I can't find any further information on are:
Mary Anne Mullen B 2nd Jan 1892
John Francis Mullen B 15th Sept 1892
Maggie Mullen 23rd March 1894
Patrick Mullen 23 June 1896
Rose Anne Mullen 1898
Catherine Mullen 1899
Eugene Mullen 1902
I'm trying to find a marriage certificate for any of them that will then hopefully lead me to a birth certificate for my Nanny. She was born Mary Eileen 23rd March 1919 (We assume this is right). The families births were all registered in Cootehill but address on birth records show Drumlood Co. Monaghan and the father was a farmer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm at the end of all leads!!!
Thank you
Karen

I found a few records
January 1889 marriage record Bernard Mullen and Anne Cavanagh
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_re…
1901 census record http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Monaghan/Cormeen/Druml…
1911 census record NOTE: ten children living in 1911 http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Monaghan/Cormeen/Druml…
I searched for Mullen marriages in the Cootehill registration district from 1907-1920 and only found one lead for Bridget. I also searched for 1921-1930 marriages in the Cootehill district and found none.
See third record 1916 marriage of Bridget Mullen

Thanks Roger, yes I've managed to find Bridgets family from my DNA link to the granddaughter who gave me a lot of information on her. Also have Owen Mullen and Hugh Mullens families details. It's the rest that seem to be causing problems. I'm sure one of them is my grandmothers parent but proving it is difficult.
Any other ideas?

Emigration? Did family members go to England, America, Australia, etc. Have you searched Ancestry or familysearch.org
