Hi Ian
I actually made a typing error in the first email which might confuse you.  In 
John Mullin’s marriage registration it named the fathers of John and Margaret.  
I reversed them in my haste - should read Michael Mullin and Bernard Owens.  

 I also did a search on Griffiths (1860 in Foremass) and found Michael and many 
Mullins.

I’ve got all these records now so if you can’t find them, let me know.  And I 
suggest you go through the steps again and confirm you agree.  I enjoyed doing 
it!
