Muldoon Mullan marriage

Gerry,

Gussie in 1911:

I searched the marriages 1911 – 1931 but did not find a Muldoon = Mullan marriage. Likewise searched births 1911 – 1923 and did not see any of the children you mention. (Births after August 1923 are not searchable on-line, save in PRONI or GRONI). I think these children were all born post 1923.

I think I may have found the marriage though. There’s a marriage between James Muldoon and Augusta Muldoon regd in Cookstown 28^th Jan 1925.  Gussie is surely short for Augusta? Why she is recorded as Muldoon and not Mullan I cannot say – clerical error perhaps? - but I suspect that’s her. You’ll need to look at the record on the GRONI site to decide.

Irish Weekly & Ulster Examiner 7^th May 1932 mentions Dan Mullan’s death. Probate abstract on the PRONI wills site. It’s possible that the will itself might mention Gussie. (It’s in PRONI and is not on-line).

Mullan Daniel of Tullyodonnell Rock county Tyrone farmer died 30 April 1932 Probate Belfast 8 March to James Muldoon farmer. Effects £26 10s.

Note that the executor was James Muldoon, farmer. Presumably Gussie’s husband?

Mid Ulster Mail 9^th Feb 1935 offers the family farm, for sale, being sold by Miss Mary Mullan.

Elwyn,

What a wonderful reply. Really explained what I needed to know. You do a wonderful job at Ireland Reaching Out. We would all be lost without such fantastic volunteers. We really appreciate your help.
