Hi Linda,
Hope you don't mind me adding to your post. Did you find your John Mullen senior?
I am also searching for a John Mullen who was born in Ireland on 1/11/1879 but arrived in Bellshill shortly after that. The area is Lanarkshire and his father James Mullen was a coalminer. The problem is that both parents had died by the time John was 15 (1895) and I have been unable to track him after that.
I have a lot of detail about his parents, James and Mary McConville and his siblings Sarah, Mary (my great grandmother), Catherine and William. Does any of this sound familliar or am I clutching at straws?
Frances

Not quite certain what you mean when you say he applied to the Regiment given that it has not existed for some years. Some useful background material is provided here:

I hope that helps.
