Thomas MULHOLLAND

[ozzie50]

I am researching the family of a Thomas Mulholland who was born c.1821 in Belfast, Antrim.  He married Frances MONTGOMERY in 1855 in Belfast.  They had a son Thomas Johnstone MULHOLLAND and a daughter Sarah MULHOLLAND that I know of.

Does anyone have any further information about this family such as the date of death of Thomas and/or Frances MULHOLLAND?  I've not done any Irish genealogy up until now and I feel I am going in circles and not getting anywhere!!  Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,
   Marriage took place on 2 Nov 1855 in St. Annes Church of Ireland, Shankill, Belfast. The Fathers' names were John Mulholland and James John Montgomery. Another child of the marriage in 1864 was Isabella, registered in Belfast

Hi,

Many thanks for the information, I was unaware of the existence of Isabella so I will add her to the family.

As I am in Australia it is very difficult to research so I wonder if I could ask another favour with regard to my 2xgreat grandmother Anna Maria McNally(sic).  I have found a record of her arrival in South Australia in 1855, the passenger list gives or origin as Antrim.  I believe she was born about 1835 (from death certificate) however, her marriage certificate records her age as 25 which would make her birth 1839.  She married in November 1864 and could have lied about her age!

The marriage certificate records her father's name as Dermot McNally and try as I might I cannot find Dermot McNally with any dates which would give me an indication he may be her father.

Regards and thanks
Oswald

Hi,
    Sorry Oswald, I cannot find any reference to a Dermot McNally. McNally is a fairly common name in Ireland.

Many thanks for checking, it's good to know I'm not the only one who couldn't find Dermot McNally.
