I’m trying to find out more about my maternal grandparents; my grandmother’s name was Mary Catherine Mulligan(married surname Brennan). She was born on May 9th, 1910, in Harolds Cross. She had a sister, Anne, and from what I’ve discovered so far, three brothers. Her brother, Patrick, died when he was six, of Potts Disease. Her other brothers were named John and James, but I can’t trace them. Mary died on January 23rd, 1962.
Her father’s name was Patrick Michael Mulligan. And this is where the fun starts. When Patrick died on April 2nd, 1941, his age was given as 49 years old. However, his year of birth has been given as 1878, which doesn’t make sense at all.This has thrown my search for the Mulligan line way off.
Mary’s mother was Margaret Mahon. She was born on November 18th, 1881 in Roebuck. Her date of death was given to me as October 30th, 1924, but again, I can’t verify it.
I do know that Patrick and Margaret lived in 274 Harolds Cross Road. It was a dairy, and Patrick worked there as a Groom. They’d lived in other addresses in the area, and their other daughter was born in Roebuck.
If anyone could help me untangle this mess, I would be very grateful.
