Death cert ages are often incorrect, people didn’t keep track of their ages as we do today and the informant was often making a guess.



Is this Patrick in 1911 and his marriage in 1908

http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Rathmines___Rathgar_West/Harold_s_Cross_Road/67041/
That would give a birth year of about 1882, however on his marriage his father Thomas is a van driver so this looks like the family in 1901
http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/Kingstown/Ard_s_Cottages/1318433/
Which would give a birth year of about 1888
There is a birth of a Patrick Mulligan in 1888 to Thomas Mulligan and Lizzy Staunton but Thomas is a gardener

When Peter is born Thomas is a porter

I can’t find Margaret.

So jump to 1911

Problem with this is it say 4 living children, this can sometimes be a misunderstanding between alive and living at home but it’s need following up
Anyway when Myles was born Thomas was a van driver.

Have you looked at the rest?
I have a feeling you only saw the post about the two Patrick deaths.

Patrick Mulligan’s father was James Mulligan. Someone else who tried to look him up found a James Mulligan who worked at Silveracre in Rathfarnham, but that’s where Patrick’s birth year doesn’t make sense if he was 49 when he passed away.

Oh yes, where did I get Thomas from, must have slipped onto the record below. Start again so.

He may not have been 49 when he died.

He died in 1941 at 49 years = circa 1892
1911 aged 29 years = circa 1882
If he was born 1892 and married in 1908 he would have been a minor, cert says full age so at least 21.
I’d trust what he said in the census over a stranger in a hospital.
Patrick Michael son of James a labourer born 1878
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1878/02955/2082307.pdf
Baptism number 45

Doesn’t have a note of who/if he married, so annoying, would have proved one way or the other.
