My gg grandparents Terrence MUCKIAN and Mary MULROY emigrated to England sometime before September 1851, when my great grandfather Michael MUCKIAN was born in Newcastle upon Tyne. Family tradition is that they came from Co Monaghan. From subsequent censuses, they were born in Ireland around 1831-34. Terrence was a shoemaker. Unfortunately, both their births and their marriage came before the introduction of Civil Registration for Catholics in Ireland in January 1864. They did not register the birth of Michael in Newcastle, but I found him (as Michael MUCKYAN) in the baptismal records of St Andrew's RC Church, Newcastle upon Tyne. The godparents were Charles Muckyan and Ann Mulroy. I've gone back in the church records, but haven't found a marriage, which is why I think they must have married in Ireland. In the 1871 Census, a Michael Mulroy was a boarder with them in Newcastle, six years younger than Mary. Can anyone suggest a way for me to track down the marriage and births of Terrence and Mary?
