There's a huge number of people living there.

rootgatherer, yes this is her and strange she would revert back to previous married name, The John Mahoney would be my g/father and Kate my g/aunt. Since joining Genes I have found relations of the Heavey family, also Kate's family. Just want to know what happened to my gt gmother Mary Ann whether she be Mahoney or Heavey.
thanks everyone for doing all this for me its greatly appreciated.

Hi Marie Celeste, No her name was MULLIGAN. although father and mother and sister Sarah correct not the other siblings. You have MILLIGAN Surname.

apologies for asking, but has anything else turned up on mary ann please?

Linda, you need to understand that names on census records back then are subject to many variations mainly due to general lack of literacy (even by the enumerators sometimes!). - Look at the Spinder/Spender variation on page 1.

Do you know what Michael MUlligan's occupation was?

.. Was thinking if we follow that family through there's a chance that Mary Ann might turn up with one of those.

Just as a point of interest, this appears in 1881 to be the MILLIGAN family that I found in 1871:

MULLIGAN, Michael Head Married M 54 1827 Tailor Dublin Ireland
MULLIGAN, Sarah Wife Married F 52 1829 Dublin Ireland
MULLIGAN, Sarah Daughter Single F 15 1866 Tailoress Brompton Middlesex
