BRENNAN MULLIGAN MOUNTJOY NORTHEY BOLAND HOOPER MARTIN O'NEILL HOME

The Mulligan family came from Summer Hill, West Meath in Ireland. They were a farming family that emigrated to Ballarat, Australia around 1853. When in Australia the family focus for earning money changed from farming to mining. The state of Victoria in Australia was in the middle of a huge goldrush attracting thousands from around the world. Their descendants live all around Australia now, and have become so scattered that many may not realise how large their family has become.

I am descended from John Mulligan Snr who married Julia Byrne shortly after arriving in Australia. They settled down in Eureka about the year before the Eureka stockade. Their son John Mulligan (born 1861 in Ballarat) married Rose Ellen Buckingham Martin and eventually moved to Western Australia. Most of the descendants of John Mulligan Snr live in the Eastern States and are not aware of the family branch in Western Australia.

I have traced John Mulligan Snr's ancestry back to the late 1700's in Meath, Ireland. If any Mulligan listed here is related to you please contact me at NORTHEY-L@rootsweb.com I am keen to find any family photos or stories about the family from the early goldrush days in Victoria.
