Hi MaireÁine
I have researched and located a lot of information on the O'Neills of 50 High St., both before and after they were in High St., for another descendant - a Mary Kane, who lives in the US. Do you know her ?
If not I can forward all this info. to you if you contact me through my website - http://www.irishfamilyroots.com/ 
If you click on 'My Ancestors' and 'Mullins/Clarke' you can read about my ancestors who lived in 50 High Street.
This Mary K also has this O'Neill family history on a 'Shutterfly' website.
Regards,
Brendan M

Hi,
I am descended from J. Mullins of 50 High Street and the information I have located so far can be found on my website -  http://www.irishfamilyroots.com/mullins.html
I am at present, researching the O'Neill family who live on High Street from about 1840 until at least 1892, in No.s 50, 47 and 60. They were Bootmakers.

Taken from the Dublin City Directories –
Robt. O’Neill/Mrs. O’Neill    Bootmakers    in 50 High Street from 1872 – 1892
O’Neill Bros./Mrs. O’Neill    Bootmakers    in 50 High Street from 1869 – 1871
Mrs. O’Neill        Bootmaker                             in 50 High Street in 1868
James O’Neill    Bootmaker                              in 50 High Street from 1859 – 1867
James O’Neill    Bootmaker                              in 47 High Street from 1847 – 1858

James O’Neill    Bootmaker                              in 60 High Street from 1834 – 1844  (No. 60 did not exist after 1844)
James O’Neill    Bootmaker                              in 2 Castle Street in 1833  (Not necessarily the same James O’Neill)

John O’Neill    Bootmaker                                 in 108 Thomas Street from 1829 – 1832   
John O’Neill    Bootmaker                                 in 38 High Street in 1828
(This John O’Neill may be the father of James, or at least, a relative.)

If anyone can add some more Info. or photos, I would be very grateful.

Thanks.

In Irish Origins I located the following -
Dublin City census 1851
Just 1 Robert Mullen listed, - 21 Blackhall Street, Barrister.
 
Griffiths Valuation (1847 - 1864)  Robert Mullen
1 in Dublin, as above.
3 in Antrim      4 in Armagh      4 in Donegal    1 in Fermanagh
1 in Galway     3 in Londonderry     1 in Meath
 
William Smith O'Brien Petition (Signed in 1848-49)
This contains the same Robert Mullen in Dublin City and
1 in Westmeath and 1 in Mayo.

My paternal ancestors were also Mullen/Mullins, but so far, all in Dublin. Other spellings are Mullan, and MacMullen which is numerous in Antrim and Down - the form of the Scottish 'MacMillan' used in Ireland.
Do you know if he was a Catholic or Protestant?  'Robert' was most likely a Prot. name, and more likely to come from the northern Counties.
