Renee......check Paget's Commercial Directory 1820 and Slater's Commercial Directory of Ireland for years 1846, 1870, 1881, 1894. You might dig up some interesting information about the hotel which may lead you further into the family. Also write to the Mullingar Library and see if they can put you in touch with a local Historical Society which would have information on local establishments. There's a hotel right smack in the middle of Mullingar...on the main street....called The Granville Arms I think......who knows, it may be YOUR hotel.
