Title: John McMULLAN and Catherine MCCAUGHAN
Post by: gilroy1790 on Tuesday 20 September 11 17:59 BST (UK)
Looking for information on John McMullan and his wife Catherine McCaughan, time period c1830-1900's.

John and Catherine had at least two children, twin boys, Aeneas and Francis, born 1860 in Loughuile.

Francis married Margaret Jane McFall of Carnkirk, Billy, in Ballymoney 1889.

According to Francis's marriage licence, John was listed as Pensioner, so obviously sill alive in 1889

Marriage certificates don't always indicate whether or not father is deceased so best to keep an open mind about John being alive in 1889.

Have a look at Introduction to Irish Records (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,442233.0.html) and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start? (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,498742.0.html).

Hi,
    Don't if this means anything but on 28 Jul 1858 Zachariah McMullan married Catherine McCaughan in Dunserverick Church of Ireland, Parish of Billy, Ballycastle.

Thank's for the info. Could be something or just pure coincidence. Something to mull over though.

Cheers
Russ
