I will search for a John McMullen's death certificate on GRONI for around that time, at least it narrows down my search window

She is evading capture certainly.
I did find a death certificate of a Mary McMullen in 1866 aged 26 in Armoy, an Ann McMullen was the witness. The Fulton's were Presbyterians and after my great grandfather came to Port Glasgow they attended the Episcopal church there, I will check the catholic registers though. Interestingly on my great grandfathers death certificate the parents were noted as Thomas Fulton and Mary Fulton nee McMillan (spelling change) but I'm wondering if it was just assumed they were married as she had died?

My first cousin once removed also remembers as a child in the 1940s visiting "a farm" in Armoy, it has to either belonged to Fulton or McMullen descendants as the Lannigans came from the Stranocum/Dervock area, so my great grandfather kept in contact with whoever had brought him up but nobody can remember exactly who!!!!!!

Yes that is my assumption too, I had been told also that a father had to attend a registration to be mentioned on the certificate.
I have double checked the Scottish bmds and there is no mention of either of them here (I live in Scotland). Is there any way to trace church records fro. A distance? And also are the school registers available online do you know.
Thank you for your help
One other detail that on Thomas Fulton (1865) marriage certificate to my great grandmother Isabella Lannigan, the father Thomas Fulton is mentioned again and as a farmer, Thomas Fulton (1865) states his age is 25 (think he told a wee white lie) and he stated again his residence as Armoy. Isabella was a domestic servant so another reason why he may not have inherited as most other family members married into other farms, his death certificate gives his correct age in Port Glasgow, they moved to Port Glasgow in Bt 1896, and the rest is history, hope that all makes sense, it confuses me sometimes lol

Thank you, yes on his death certificate he is noted as a bachelor, this is the only Thomas Fulton of the area of the time so has to be the one, I'm not sure why he didn't mention his son in the will but as my great grandfather was noted as a postman on his marriage certificate I'm assuming it's because he didn't want to be a farmer and may then have not kept the farm in the family, all assumptions but the only one to make sense. I have had a look at the griffiths revisions but have only had a brief chance, this was my project for February

Re the will, both Hugh and John mentioned are brothers of Thomas, the full will goes on to mention other brothers along with sisters also, Bessie signed his death certificate, she is a sister, she owned land in Cromaghs, I have most of the death certificates
