Kerry / Re: Looking for Hugh Mullens/Mullins and Elizabeth Wilson

Again in St. Mary's, Belfast, a son James Patrick McMullin was baptised on 21 March 1871 for a Hugh McMullin and Eliza Wilson of West Street - could this be your man who married Winifred Bullen? Again I can't see a civil registration, but here's the church register image:

(6th entry up from bottom)

I can see other children to this couple, happy to provide detail if you think these are the right folk.

BTW, here's the church register image for Hugh and Eliza's marriage, it's very poor / light:

I can also see a transcript of a marriage between a Hugh MacMullan and Elizabeth Wilson, but it took place a couple of years later and I can't see a civil registration for it.  The marriage took place on 10 June 1869 in St. Mary's, Belfast, Hugh MacMullan and Elizabeth Wilson both had the address 7 McCluskey's Court, the groom's parents were given as John and Elizabeth MacMullan, the bride's parents as James and Rose Wilson, the witnesses were John Curtis and Esther Houston.

A transcript of the 1898 marriage record I can see, says that the groom's parents were from Belfast and the
bride's parents were from Cork.

I wonder if an alternative surname for him could have been McMullan? If so, note the following John born at Carrick Hill in Belfast to Hugh McMullan, a dealer, and Eliza Wilson:

A death notice for Albert who died on 22 January 1966 mentions two sons and a daughter, the names of whom I will pm you.

The address of the informant looks to me like 37 Charlotte St Belfast:

The 1960 Belfast street directory on the Lennon Wylie website shows the following entry for Charlotte Street:

37. Johnston, Albert, clerk

I'm going to guess Slaght, for there is a baptism on 23 June 1850 (almost contemporaneous to Griffith's Valuation for that area) where a Patrick Palmer and Mary Sullivan of Cooranissig had their son John baptised:

https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634321#page/19/mode/1up (bottom of right page)

Patrick Palmer is quite a distinctive name and Griffith's Valuation shows him in Slaght.

Added: Maybe should qualify that to say that at least a bit of it was in Slaght, for there's every possibility that it could have covered a bit of more than one townland.

Kilkenny / Re: Thomas Steacy 1912 Kilkenny
« on: Friday 13 June 25 15:02 BST (UK)  »
The spelling variation is very much par for the course in that era, I came across Steacey, Steacy, Stacey and Stacy and I'm comfortable that we're talking about the same surname. The issue about railway clerk could be explained if that was a post discharge job, or even a fabrication or incorrect knowledge / memory (if Joseph's father didn't play a part in his life).

What I do know is this:

- Sarah Steacey's address in Joseph's military record matches that for an Anastasia Kane who was having Tubbert children there in the late 1870s / early 1880s;
- the forename/surname combination of Robert Steacey (and variants) in Ireland is as rare as hens teeth, the 1901 Ireland census has one (out of over 4.4 million people) who can be ruled out on grounds of age, and now this new one has emerged in BMDs (a Colour Sergeant in Tipperary having a son in 1879).

In those circumstances, I think that particular Anastasia Kane and Robert Steacey need to remain on the books for consideration until evidence rules them out.

Putting aside the "railway clerk" description for Joseph Steacy's father in that 1898 marriage record for a moment, here's another speculative punt to follow up on as a potential father for Joseph.  It's a Robert Bartholomew Stacey who like Joseph was also a Colour Sergeant (15th Regiment), and served time in Tipperary to boot, for he had a son Robert Somers Crawford Stacey there on 28 August 1879, the birth took place at the Military Barracks, the mother was Jessy Jane Shaw:
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/birth_returns/births_1879/02906/2064938.pdf

I can see a marriage record for this couple, the marriage took place on 26 September 1878 at the Parish Church, Fulwood, Lancashire, Robert was 25 and his father was stated as John Thomas Stacey, a farmer, she was 20 and her father was David Shaw, a civil engineer, the address for both was Fulwood Barracks, where he was a sergeant in the 15th Regt.

I suppose the question is, long before he married Jessy, did any of his prior service bring him to Ireland and more speciically into proximity with Anastasia (Kane) Tubbert?  Worth pursuing, if only to eliminate him.
