William, son, 12 Empl. in a Paper Mill "
Mary , dau. 4 "

Births: WARD Bridget, Leeds, one in Mar quarter of '65, another in June quarter of '66
Ward Mary Ann, Leeds, Mar quarter of '64 and both a Mary and a Mary A in Leeds in June quarter of '66.

I would say the J quarter of '66 could be the twins.

Fantastic thank you - only other questions I am mulling over are...my family do not remember Edward or Thomas so presumed they died?

How do I find out more info on Patrick? Is there an Irish census we can access. I can't thank you enough for helping, will leave you be after this xx

Yes please and thank you again. I did find Joseph as died, Bridget had a total of 11 children but only 6 survived. I 'think' Patrick was from Ireland but Bridget seems to have originated in Leeds (maiden name Ward).

Do you want them on earlier censuses while I am 'on a roll'?

Catherine 13, Margaret 10, Thomas 8, Joseph 5 and Ann MULLINS aged 2. All b in Halifax.

I found them on 1911, also Patrick Mullen, Visitor, married, aged 55, b1856, Masons Labourer, b Sheffield, YKS. They seem to be all men, and visitors in that household, 6 Smithy St, Halifax.

Hi I have found family on 1911 census records. Bridget Mullen, Catherine, Margaret, Thomas, Annie, Agnes and Edward living in Halifax as expected however I cannot trace any of them prior to that? 1901 census should show them somewhere? Bridget, Catherine, Thomas, Margaret and Annie were born before that census.

Also it shows Bridget as head of house but not widowed. No mention of Patrick her husband....

Any ideas anyone??

Any help appreciated I am newish to this ancestry lark lol!
