I am looking for Margaret Mulligan on the 1871 Census. She was born c.1859 in Belfast, Ireland. Her parents were William Mulligan [1830-1907] and Jane McCutcheon [1832-1903], both born in Ireland.
Margaret married Michael Grant on 5th February 1883 at St Andrew’s Church, Ancoats, Manchester. Her surname was written as Mullin and they were living at 6 Catherine Street.
I have her on the following censuses:-
1861 Scotland Census
14 Alma Street, Govan, Lanarkshire
with her parents and older sister, Mary Mulligan
Parish: Govan; ED: 10; Page: 21; Line: 6; Roll: CSSCT1861_114
1881 England Census
42 Peel Street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester
with her husband Michael Grant and sons, Thomas and Michael
Class: RG11; Piece: 3932; Folio: 58; Page: 41;
[She was recorded as married even though they didn’t marry until 1883]
1891 England Census
25 Bradshaw Street, Hulme, Manchester
with her husband Michael Grant and 5 children
Class: RG12; Piece: 3196; Folio: 46; Page: 3;

1911 England Census

a widow with 4 children and son-in-law
She died in 1914 and was buried in Southern Cemetery.
I am also looking for her parents in 1871 and 1881. They appear with Margaret in Scotland on the 1861 Census and then:-
1891 England Census
4 Shepley Yards, Manchester
Class: RG12; Piece: 3238; Folio: 37; Page: 7;
1901 England Census
Chorlton Union Workhouse, Withington, Manchester

They both died in the Workhouse and are buried in Southern Cemetery.

There is a Margaret Mullin, 12 yrs b Westmeath living with her mother Mary and siblings in Welchs Court, Manchester
1871 4052/99/15
This is obviously not your Margaret but I see the youngest children in 1891 have mother’s name as Mullen/Mullin.
What about the older children?

1877 Thomas - MULLIGAN
