Mullen/Roe

[Alcluith]

I am searching for information on my wife's grandparent
Christopher Mullen and Sarah Jane Roe they married in Holyhead 5 Sept 1906 and had four sons Christopher, Albert, Gerald(Father-in law) and Joseph.
Joseph lived in the family home in Marino Green Fairview up until his death. The only other information is that Christopher's father was a Joseph Mullen.

Any information would be helpful

HI,

You can nfind them in the marriage indexes available on film at your local family history centre. Find the birth entry of the child born nearest to 1911 and find the family on the census.

Following on from my previous request.

In 1911 census I have Christopher Mullen with his wife Sarah Jane and children Albert, Christy and Joseph. Gerald, my wife's father was born November that year.
Christopher was listed as coachman, which confirms what we already knew.
Christopher dies in 1915 aged 42.
Family oral history said that the woman, who both Christopher and Sarah worked for, arranged for Gerald to go  a merchant navy school in  mainland England when he was 11 year old (1922). To date we have not been able to confirm this although we have a young Gerald in the merchant navy late 1920s from his MN records.

Going back to the 1911 census we believe that the woman that employed Christopher was Margaret Paul m.s. Low who was Scottish and a widow in 1911 as head of family with her brother Alexander Low in the household.

I would be interested in finding out more about the Paul family in Dublin
anything would be appreciated.

Hi,

The correct  address would be

Marino Green,
Marino Dublin 3.

The the estate was built 1926.

Try the school records :

Scoil Mhuire Marino: http://www.scoilmhuire.org/

St. Joeseph Fairview: http://www.stjosephsfairview.ie/

Class photo's were taken at the end of most years and at Communion+
Confirmation. There should be something like a class photo or something -

What are his details???

Cheers

The family lived in Drumconda up until at least 1922, when Gerry was sent to England, I am assuming that the family moved to Marino Green after that I assume after 1926.

Would there be school records for that area?

When did they start taking School photos?

Hi

If he lived in Marino he most likely would of attended

these school records :


==================================
Boys School (7-12 years) - Marino
==================================
Scoil Mhuire Marino: http://www.scoilmhuire.org/


==================================
Secondary School (12-16 years of age) Fairview
==================================
St. Joeseph Fairview: http://www.stjosephsfairview.ie/

All of the above schools are in a 5 min walk from Marino Green.


==================================
O'Briens Institiute (OBI) - Marino
==================================
This was a school also that  closed down  in the  1960's - it is now a training  college for the fire bridgade. It is located beside the "CASINO". This is about
5 min walk  from Marino Green. It would be difficult to get records from this
as it was not Government school



==================================
St.Davids Inbdustrial School- Artane
===================================
This 40 min walk from Marino. This was an  industrial school for children that
either were orphaned or parents fell on hard times, or for runnaway
kids. This school was opeartional up to the early 70's - it was run by
the Christian Brothers. The industrial school was mark out in a government report as one where their abuse of kids.

===================================
Schools In Drumcondra
===================================
There is teaching colleges in Drumcondra, and Schools for the
blind, I am not sure was there a secondary school there in the
from 1926 onwards


========================================
School Photo's
========================================
Tradtionally the school's took class photo's a the end of the schoo
year, and Holy Communion (7), Confirmation (12) and graduation when they left at inter/leaving certificate.



Check out the schools in Marino/Fairview  first -

By 1926 all the boys had left school and were working. 
The boys would have been at school around 1914-22 the family were living on the estate of a Mrs Paul, which we believe now to be the Regent Hotel, but not certain. There was also a cottage called "Broomhill"  involved, but again that's only verbal family history. 
Again Family history states that Gerry was sent to a naval School in England, arranged by Mrs Paul, when he was eleven, but we have not been able to trace him in any Naval school. From what we have been able to find out there were some schools near Liverpool but the were more correction schools for wayward boys, so maybe the story was only a cover. Anyway we have Gerry later in the 1920s on board various vessels working in the Galley and eventually he come to Scotland in the 1940 as a cook for the Americans.

Gerry passed away in 1976 but he never told his family about his live in Ireland, he did visit Dublin in 1950 but never returned. His brother Christopher, who lived in England visited once and we have visited his brother Joseph, who lived in Marino Green, I believe his wife still lives there. It was Joseph who gave us some information and we have researched the rest.
