Sarah,

This might be your family in Eden in 1901:

and in 1911:

Andrew’s son Smiley married Mary Kelso in 1883. So he looks to be a brother to the Daniel you are interested in:

The Mulholland family was Church of Ireland. Sadly that parishes early records (Tamlaght O’Crilly) were destroyed in the 1922 fire in Dublin. Tracing their early history will be challenging.

Hello again Elwyn , 

 Thank you for your reply . Yes that is them . Smylie was the eldest son of Andrew & Matty .

Would there be anything on the above mentioned Daniel at all ?- he is the last of the family to be traced !!

We have found the complete family and established dates etc so its been a process but we are nearly there ...I posted about Andrew , complete with picture today .

Kind regards

Looking at the Valuation Revision records for Eden on the PRONI website, then in the period 1899-1910, there were 2 Daniel Mulhollands listed in Eden. One had the agnomen (John) and he is the one who looks to have died in 1901. He had land on plot 11 and a house and more land on plot 12. After his death he was replaced by Nancy Mulholland who herself looks to have died later in 1901, then by Mary Ann Burt and then another Daniel in 1908.  Daniel (John) acquired his land in plot 12 in 1884 replacing a John who I’d guess was his father.

Plot 12 also contained Daniel Mulholland senior who acquired his land in 1877. Daniel, senior was replaced by Hugh in 1908.

Some probate abstracts:

Administration of the estate of John Mulholland late of Eden County Londonderry Farmer who died 30 December 1875 granted at Londonderry to Daniel Mulholland Farmer.

The above probate grant was made on 10th Mar 1903. So when John died, Daniel (John) failed to have his estate administered, and it was only after Daniel (John)’s own death in 1901 that this was picked up. The later Daniel, son of Andrew,  must be the person who obtained probate in 1903.

Administration of the estate of Nancy Mulholland late of Eden County Londonderry Widow who died 13 September 1901 granted at Londonderry to Daniel Mulholland Farmer.

The above Nancy was a widow aged 82. Informant was Henry Mulholland (whose relationship to her is not given).
