Looking for info on mullin & Clayton's surnames :)

Welcome to Rootschat.
If you search on Rootschat, Clayton is a recognised traveller name, linking with major traveller families. Mullin does not offer anything in being travellers, but most seem to be from Ireland. There were travellers from Ireland. Many travellers had an alias or two, so any Mullin travellers could have used different names.

Looking for info on mullin & Clayton's surnames :)
Mulleyn and Mullinger are listed as Traveller surnames by Robert Dawson, who is a reputable scholar on Romani & Traveller heritage. It is possible that the surname of your family changed over time, but it's equally possible that it is unrelated. Unfortunately, a lot of Traveller surnames are not unique to them, but are often shared by much of the non-Traveller population.
