I am researching Dixon /Mullally .

Patrick Mullally married Mary Harpur, they lived in Enniscorthy, their daughter Mary Eliza Mullally married  PTE James Dixon in parish of St Michael Gorey, it stated James Dixon was a native of Gorey but lived in Queenstown as he was a soldier. on the 15th  February 1917. They had 5 children,

Moira/Mary, Anna Maria, Thomas,

James  born 15 July 1921 in Drumgoold Wexford

Patrick born 24th February  1924 in  Drumgoold Wexford.

Mary Dixon my grandmother died  on 10 march 1924 a month after Patrick was born.

I have not been able to find birth certificates for of the  three children one  is my mother Anna Maria, I am assuming this is her correct name, the children were all  put into industrial schools except for Thomas  who i believe lived with the Mullally's and took there surname. I do not know what happened to  my Grandfather  James Dixon.

I have contacted the Registary Office in Ireland and they informed me that they could not find birth certificate for my mother Anna Maria, although i have found a note saying that she was Baptized I do not know where this took place?

My mother died in 1959 when i was five and I have been researching for about 25 years to no avail or met with brick walls. i would be grateful if anyone has any knowledge or information to help me learn my mother and family history thankyou

  • Roseleen, Irish Civil record for marriage of Pte James Dixon to Mary Mullaly on 15th February 1917 in Gorey. Entry No. 151 Pte James Dixon is described as 25 years of age and a soldier. His father is recorded as James Dixon - Shoemaker Mary Mullaly is described as 22 years of age. Her father is recorded as Patrick Mullaly - Labourer Witnesses: John Acton and Hannah Mullaly Have you checked the British Army Records, assuming he continued serving in the British Army. I will check for the birth records of the children and get back to you if I find any. Regards,
