Looking for information on Fullan Family.  Patrick arrived in USA about 1847 with wife, Sarah Mulholland and children.  He left behind a brother, Arthur, who died about 1865.  I would like to know his burial cemetery and who are buried with him.  Thank you.

  • Drumglass is in the civil registration area of Dungannon. Death registration only started on 1.1.1864 so if Arthur died before that it won?t be registered. Searching 1864 ? 1880, there?s just one death of someone named Arthur Fullan. His death was registered in Dungannon 1865, Vol 6, page 416. Est year of birth 1783. Might be worth ordering that to see where he lived.

    You can order a photocopy from GRO Roscommon for ?4 per certificate. Put the place, year, quarter (where there is one), volume & page number on the application form (anywhere). http://www.groireland.ie/ You have to post or fax the form to them but they will e-mail the copy certificate to you if you wish. Put ?please e-mail to?..? clearly on the top of the form.

    Found a record of this probate file on the PRONI website:

    Full Abstract :

    Letters of Administration of the personal estate of Arthur Fullan late of Dungannon in the Barony of Dungannon and County Tyrone Gentleman a Widower deceased who died 4 May 1865 at same place were granted at Armagh to John Fullan of Lurgabnoy (Dungannon) aforesaid Farmer the Brother and one of the next of kin of said deceased.

    So he evidently died intestate. The probate file will have been destroyed in the 1922 fire in Dublin, so all that remains is this abstract (summary). Gentleman means he was financially independent.
