Magilton/McGilton

[teap78]

my GGG grand mother was Elizabeth Magilton/McGilton in the 1901 census she stated she was from Belfast and was 68 years old. she married my GGG Grand father John Mullen who stated he was from Tyrone and was 70. At the minute I'm not able to find out any info on Elizabeth at all apart from what was on the 1901 census. I cant even seem to find the origins of the name or the proper Spelling. Anyone know of any McGiltons/Magiltons?

Colette:

Ros Davies has quite a few listings of Magilton/McGilton in her County DOwn site.  http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rosdavies/SURNAMES/M/Mag.htm

Caora, in its Down index of heads-of-household census and Griffiths also has some. http://www.caora.net/find.php

If you haven't seen this Ancestry Board, it could be a gold mine for you.

Hope this helps some.

Good luck,

Pat

Thankyou for the prompt reply pat, so it looks like the magiltons originate in county down. Im thinking if i could find her marriage to John Mullen it would help quiet a bit and im just thinking i have some dates of births for their children might get a clue from sponsors too.

all systems go again

I wouldn't limit it to Down. Antrim is also possible. I looked at the Vital Records Index but just found five marriages.

Thankyou Pat and Anthony. now the mind is working 10 to the dozen here now let me see Anthony you have just gave me an idea by mentioning Ormeau road ive noticed on a few bits and bobs that i have that Elizabeth Magilton married John Mullen and they lived at various addresses not far from the ormeau road before slowly moving up the falls to balaclava street and eventually 4 Forest street.
One address was 5 Stanfield Street, there was also Keegan Street. John Mullen was from Tyrone but he and some if not all his family must have moved to belfast on one of the childrens baptism lines it says
 Mary Mullen 22/09/1861 (my GG gran) Baptised St Patricks witness was James Mullen (Fathers Brother?)
Oh My God ive just found  something that i have scribbled out in my note book its Thomas Magilton/Catherine Brennan 14/11/1858 St Malachys and ive also got Elizabeth Magilton wrote beside it hell this must be a marriage and she must have been the witness her brother??? it must be the thomas from 19 ormeau road God how dumb am i? now that means she married John Mullen between 1859 and 1861 when Mary was born.
Ive also found a Mary Lavinia Mullen 9 Stanfield Street 1858-59

Hi Colette
Just checked the timelines on Glenravel on-line (see resources).

August 1884.  Mary Mullen of Curtis Street, was summoned for keeping a shebeen after police found one bottle of champagne, four pints of whiskey: beer and porter were found on the premises. She was fined 5 shillings.

There are assorted other Mullens, McMullens and Magiltons but not the names you quote.  Have a look especially in 1890's.
