Trying to find origins of great-great-great grandparents. Emigrated to US sometime before 1859. Robert Mullen, born about 1820, and his wife Bridget, born about 1824. Any information would be helpful.

Hi
Thank you for your message. Do you have any additional information regarding these individuals that would further your research? Do you know much about their emigration? The dates, the reason why they left, who they may have travelled with?..etc..Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than the port of departure. If you knew which city they arrived at (e.g. Liverpool, New York, etc.), this could be a good place to find more information. -And perhaps even find out an exact place of origin.
Some sites that might be useful to you are:
British parliamentary papers on Ireland can be found at: http://eppi.dippam.ac.uk/documents/9824/eppi_pages/215093
