Looking for Hugh Mullens/Mullins and Elizabeth Wilson
« on: Sunday 15 June 25 00:16 BST (UK) »
Looking for more information on Hugh Mullens/Mullins and Elizabeth Wilson. They are named as the parents of James Hubert Mullins/Mullens in a marriage certificate with Winifred Esther Bullen in Castleisland in 23 Jan 1898.

Can't find any marriage records for Hugh and Elizabeth.

A transcript of the 1898 marriage record I can see, says that the groom's parents were from Belfast and the
bride's parents were from Cork.

I wonder if an alternative surname for him could have been McMullan? If so, note the following John born at Carrick Hill in Belfast to Hugh McMullan, a dealer, and Eliza Wilson:

I can also see a transcript of a marriage between a Hugh MacMullan and Elizabeth Wilson, but it took place a couple of years later and I can't see a civil registration for it.  The marriage took place on 10 June 1869 in St. Mary's, Belfast, Hugh MacMullan and Elizabeth Wilson both had the address 7 McCluskey's Court, the groom's parents were given as John and Elizabeth MacMullan, the bride's parents as James and Rose Wilson, the witnesses were John Curtis and Esther Houston.

Again in St. Mary's, Belfast, a son James Patrick McMullin was baptised on 21 March 1871 for a Hugh McMullin and Eliza Wilson of West Street - could this be your man who married Winifred Bullen? Again I can't see a civil registration, but here's the church register image:

(6th entry up from bottom)

I can see other children to this couple, happy to provide detail if you think these are the right folk.

BTW, here's the church register image for Hugh and Eliza's marriage, it's very poor / light:
