I am looking for Margaret Mulligan on the 1871 Census. She was born c.1859 in Belfast, Ireland. Her parents were William Mulligan [1830-1907] and Jane McCutcheon [1832-1903], both born in Ireland.
Margaret married Michael Grant on 5th February 1883 at St Andrew’s Church, Ancoats, Manchester. Her surname was written as Mullin and they were living at 6 Catherine Street.
I have her on the following censuses:-
