looking for information on William MCMullan, Millquarter Ballyscullion

[Kane57]

Thanks all,
The source is the birth record of William McMullan in 1902, present at birth was what looks like Mary Mc Lenaghan/Louaghan or something similar, the sister of Lizzy McMullan.

I thought that Rose Devlin might have been the married name of another sister but I'm clutching at straws here.

I think Gaffy has found them.

William Murray's birth record was at Duneane, Muckrim, 1902

I wonder if Mary was Laurence MClenaghan’s second wife looking at the age of the older daughter in 1901.
I can’t see a marriage though for McMullan/McClenaghan (with spelling variations) but there us one in 1877 for L Mc to Mary Toal.

I think the Mary McLenaghan married to Lawrence is William McMullans daughter.  Cant be absolutely sure without record of wedding.  Who is her mother?
Any ideas?

I can see a church marriage transcript for Laurence McLenaghan and Mary McCann who were married in Duneane RC Church on 18 May 1896, the witnesses were John Hamill and Elizabeth McMullan, again I can't readily find an associated civil registration.

Also in Duneane RC parish, what looks like a baptism of the daughter to this couple, Sarah, baptised on 15 February 1897, parents recorded as Laurence Mclenaghan and Mary McCann of Kilvillis, one of the sponsors was an Elizabeth McMullan - baptism date matches the DOB in the civil birth registration at reply #10.

Kilvillis borders Millquarter:

This looks like Sarah's death in 1910:

I wonder if this is daughter Maggie in the 1901 census return at reply #10?

Yes that looks very possible gaffy.

I was thinking that Laurence was married twice because of his age
