Michael Mullen was born about 1840 in Ireland.
Mary McIntee was born about 1840 in Ireland.
They married in Co. Fermanagh, Ireland sometime between July 31, 1857 and November 22, 1860 according to the birth regstrations of their children. The last three registrations, Mary, Elizabeth and Sarah are consistent in giving the date as November 22, 1860 and the place as Lisnescay. This doesn't show up in the usual townland sources but there is a town Lisnaskea (east of Upper Lough Erne on the A34 between Maguiresbridge and Clones) in the parish of Aghalurcher in the Barony of Magherastephana in Co. Fermanagh. Unfortunately, the Register of Marriages for Aghalurcher for the relevant period is not available on-line.
They appear to have come to Scotland sometime between 1861 (after the census) and August 1863, bringing with them one child, Thomas.
They had the following children (that I know of), all born in Tollcross unless otherwise noted —
Thomas born about 1860 in Ireland, last sighting 1907. Philip born in 1863 in Carluke, last sighting 1881. Catherine born in 1865 in Carluke, last sighting 1891. Mary Ann born in 1868 and died in 1873. Michael born in 1870, married Annie Colvin in 1895. Helen born in 1873 and died in 1877. Bridget born in 1875 and died in 1877. Mary born in 1877, last sighting 1891. Eliza born in 1879, last sighting 1891. Sarah born in 1882, last sighting 1891.
c1860 Thomas was born in Ireland. The Register of Baptisms for the Parish of Aghalurcher from 1835 - 1881 is available and I searched 1857 to 1863 but the nearest I could find was Thomas Mullen, baptised on August 28, 1859, son of Michael Mullen and Maria Carney. [Most forenames are latinised so that could well be Mary.]
