I’ve hit a bit of a brick wall in trying to track down the parents of Nicholas Mulvey c1875, Bray Common on the 1911CR. He gives his place of birth as Dublin. He is married to Mary (nee Berry) with 3 children.
I’ve found 2 other Mulvey families living Bray Common in 1911:
Stephen Mulvey c1878 also born Dublin with his wife & 5 children
William Mulvey c1884 born Co Wicklow, wife Catherine (nee Byrne) & 1 daughter.
I found a post that suggests the parents of William are James Mulvey & Julia (nee Hayden).
Nicholas did name a daughter Julia in 1905 - happy coincidence or link to his mother?
Could this be 3 brothers living in Bray Common?
& yes I’ve found all the prison records for Nicholas Mulvey of Bray :)
Any help in tracing the Mulveys of Bray would be so very much appreciated.

His marriage record gives his father as James

Thank you yes I’ve just noted Nicholas gives his mothers name as Julia Brien when he married in 1895 - that seems to link William & Nicholas

Thank you - so all 3 were sons of James Mulvey.
Not so easy in Ireland without CRs to help!

Hi Keziah2
To avoid confusion, Bray is in Wicklow but its Northern part in is Dublin, as can be seen on census and also at - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bray,_County_Wicklow
As far as I know Bray Commons was at the northern end of the town, so this may explain the Dublin births.
Regards

Thanks - not at all familiar with that part of the world so useful info.
I think the family may have links with Westmeath in previous generations ? I now have more info than I thought I might have

Thanks for that.
I’ve found 7 children of James & Julia between 1870 & 1882.
Also found something that suggest James’ father was also a James & he married an Anna Geoghegan? In Westmeath. But nothing obvious at the moment to confirm that.

Parish record of James and Julia‘s marriage confirms this. James and Anne are living in Westmeath I think.
