Hi

I'm new to the list and have reason to believe that my ancestors may have come from Ireland (perhaps Co. Mayo or Cork).

My ggggfather was Joseph MULLINS (deceased) so named on his son's marriage certificate in 1875.
His son was George MULLINS, age given on marriage certificate as 34 years in 1875.
The marriage took place in Sheffield, UK.

To date I haven't found a death for either of the above, nor a birth for George.

I'm not sure of Irish Traditions as far as names are concerned, I have thought - due to my inability to find Joseph - that perhaps he had a different christian name but was commonly known as Joseph.

I also don't know what happened during 1800s when residents of Ireland emigrated - did many come to England - could Joseph perhaps have brought his family over here or maybe George came here on his own.

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated, if not on the MULLINS front, then on the events in Ireland during the periods upto 1875.

Thanks very much
Tracy (nee MULLINS)
